Camera Overview — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around an 8MP, 1/2.5-inch sensor paired with Sony's Bionz image processor. It offers an ISO range of 80 to 3200, giving shooters flexibility across a variety of lighting conditions. One of the most distinctive features of the T200 is its large 3.5-inch TFT LCD touchscreen, which resolves at 230,000 dots — an unusually generous display size for a compact camera of its era.

The touch interface allows for intuitive navigation and shooting control without relying on a traditional button layout. The autofocus system combines Contrast Detection with Face Detection AF across 9 focus points, helping users lock onto subjects quickly in everyday situations. Optical image stabilization is built in, working to reduce camera shake during handheld shooting.

Maximum still resolution lands at 3264x2448 pixels with burst shooting available at up to 2 frames per second. Color profiles include Vivid, Natural, B&W, and Sepia for in-camera creative options. The body is constructed from a metal and plastic composite, measures 94 x 59 x 20 mm, and weighs 186g.

Video capture tops out at 480p at 30fps in 8-bit Standard color. Storage is handled via Memory Stick PRO Duo or internal storage, and connectivity includes USB. The NP-BD1 Lithium-Ion battery is rated for approximately 150 shots per charge.
