Well built ; Decent-quality lens

Disappointing performance ; Difficult to use

If you're going to bring a 12MP compact to the market, it needs to meet expectation. Build quality, metering and the lens are all good, but the image quality lets down this compact. The W200 seems to be more about an exercise in marketing rather than...

Optical image stabilization, face detection techniques, and 9-point autofocus system generate handsome snapshots. Buttery smooth 3x (35 to 105-mm film equivalent) optical zoom. Fast shooting: 1.7 seconds from power-on to first shot and 0.6 second...

Outrageous 0 price tag – we’ve found 7-megapixel cameras with similar performance and image quality at almost half the price. 2.5-inch LCD has a grainy quality and mediocre detail

The new W-series models incorporate selectable in-camera editing functions that can save you from hours of post-editing time at the computer. Equipped with Sony's Dynamic Range Optimizer, the cameras can analyze captured image data and instantly...

Compact, attractive design ; Optical image stabiliser ; Manual exposure mode

Requires far more light for low ISO shots than most competitors ; Exceptionally long flash-recycle time and disappointing shot-to-shot performance ; Image-processing artifacts ; LCD has poor off-angle viewing ; Proprietary USB cable

Requires far more light for low ISO shots than most competitors; exceptionally long flash-recycle time and disappointing shot-to-shot performance; image-processing artifacts; LCD has poor off-angle viewing; proprietary USB cable.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200's 12-megapixel sensor raises the price of an otherwise decent snapshot camera, with little benefit. The W90 and W80 are better deals.

The Sony DSC-W200 is a compact camera that is a joy to use. Thanks to its small size you can easily carry it with you in the pocket of your trousers or jacket. This is particularly nice when travelling. The performance is excellent. Pictures can be...

On paper the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200 promises to be one of the more interesting compacts around for the keen shutterbug. Ultimately, however, it's let down by a combination of poor image quality, mixed responsiveness and strange implementation of...

Tiny size, portable and stylish ; Full manual exposure control, plus full auto mode when you need it ; Useful range of preset shooting modes ; Great overall color ; Large 2.5-inch LCD monitor ; Face Detection 2 optimizes exposure and focus for faces ;...

High barrel distortion is noticeable in images ; Fairly strong chromatic aberration ; Strong oversaturation in reds, may be more than many consumers find pleasing ; Slightly limited flash range ; Strong contrast under harsh lighting, camera also dims...

Also included on the W200 are nine preset shooting modes, which add flexibility in common, yet tricky conditions. Among the standard Twilight, Soft Snap, and Landscape options are also Beach, Snow, Fireworks, and two High Sensitivity modes (High and...
