Awesome little camera - - if used properly
|
I own a Sony R-1 which is a SLR type camera - a bit big but excellent image quality. The Sony T-200 is considerably smaller and more convenient to carry around.
Do not expect a mini-compact to compare with a D-SLR type camera - they don't regardless of pixel count.
To get the best out of the T200, use the "Program" (P) mode and set the ISO to 100. Do not use "Vivid" or other in-camera settings (do your adjustments in software). Use Auto only in daylight settings. The grainy, smeary pictures in low light are in auto mode, with an ISO of about 800 or more. The results are not satisfactory.
If you take command of the T200's settings in Program mode you can take excellent pictures in just about any situation except flash pictures. The flash (I call it a peanut popper) is good for about 8' to 10'. After that, since light falls off rapidly, it will not illuminate an auditorium at school or theater. In those instances you may have to accept grainy smeary pictures in lieu of no picture. Sometimes an auxiliary flash tripped by the camera flash can help in large rooms.
I gave the camera a rating of 4 as I think it's pro's outweight the con's for me.
Pros: Excellent close focusing, 5X optical zoom, Small and pocketable, best styling - colors (I love black), When used wisely, excellent, noise free pictures, great color and sharpness. touch screen (recommend a pda type screen cover), plethora of controls including flash intensity. Great face detection (and smile) and optical stabilization (vs. digital correction)
Cons: Battery life limited. Noise and quality not very good above ISO 600, a bit pricy, but the T70 offers much of the same features for less $$$$.
I would definitly recommend a "buy" rating, but be aware you have to think for the camera. If you want just a "point and shoot" camera, still use the "P" scene mode or perhaps try the Canon or Nikon. Make sure you purchase your camera from a store that allows a reture privilege regardless of the brand you buy. You do not have to be stuck with a product you do not like. |
