Description — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T200 is a compact point-and-shoot camera centered on an 8MP sensor measuring 1/2.5 inch, processed by Sony's Bionz engine. The standout hardware feature is the 3.5-inch TFT LCD touchscreen at 230,000 dots resolution — a generously sized touch interface for intuitive in-camera operation. Autofocus is handled by a Contrast Detection and Face Detection AF system with 9 focus points, keeping subject acquisition straightforward for everyday photography.
Built-in Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) addresses camera shake during handheld shots. The ISO range runs from 80 to 3200, and maximum still capture resolves at 3264x2448 pixels. Burst shooting is supported at 2 frames per second.
In-camera color profiles — Vivid, Natural, B&W, and Sepia — allow creative flexibility. The metal and plastic composite body measures 94 x 59 x 20 mm and weighs 186g. Storage uses Memory Stick PRO Duo or internal memory, with USB connectivity.
The NP-BD1 battery delivers approximately 150 shots per charge.
