Description — Sony DSC-H200
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H200 point-and-shoot camera centres on a 20MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor processed through Sony's proprietary image processor, capturing stills at up to 5152x3864 pixels. Optical image stabilization (OIS) helps manage camera shake, while an ISO range of 80–3200 provides flexibility across different lighting environments. The autofocus system combines contrast detection and face detection AF across 9 focus points, with subject tracking enabled for moving subjects. When the moment calls for it, burst mode fires at up to 8fps.
The 3.0-inch fixed LCD at 460,000 dots handles framing and playback duties — there is no separate viewfinder. For creative variety, still image color profiles include Standard, Vivid, Sepia, and Monochrome. Video tops out at 720p / 30fps in 8-bit.
A built-in pop-up flash is on hand for low-light use. Storage spans SD, SDHC, SDXC, and Memory Stick formats, and the camera connects via USB and Micro HDMI. The plastic body weighs 530g and measures 123 x 83 x 87 mm, with no weather sealing rated.
