Description — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200 is a compact point-and-shoot camera with a 12MP sensor on a 1/1.7-inch chip, processed through Sony's BIONZ engine for reliable image output. The camera's 4000x3000 maximum resolution and ISO range of 80–3200 give it a broad shooting envelope for a camera this size. Optical image stabilization (OIS) is built into the body — a meaningful advantage for handheld shooting in lower light. Framing is handled via a 2.5-inch TFT LCD (115,000 dots) or an optical viewfinder, and the autofocus system uses contrast detection across 5 focus points.
Burst shooting is available at up to 2fps. The metal body keeps weight to just 142g across dimensions of 91 x 58.5 x 27.3 mm. The built-in flash supports Auto, On, Off, Red-Eye Reduction, and Slow Sync modes.
Storage uses Memory Stick and Memory Stick PRO Duo, and connectivity is handled via USB. Video records at 480p/30fps in 8-bit Standard color.
