'truly a point-and-shoot camera designed to appeal to fashion- and gadget-conscious users looking for the T200's unique look and interface at a slightly lower price.'
'I had to press hard and repeatedly to get it to accept some of my commands, which quickly became frustrating.'
'innovative features'
'an irritating camera that takes only average pictures.'
'The sound is fine, but given the limited 2GB of memory (which your music has to share with your photo albums) and minimal playback controls--shuffle or linear playback in directory order, with no playlists--it becomes just another awkward convergence device'
'The other features are impressive too: 3.5in LCD, 2GB of on-board memory, Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens, anti-blur technology, ISO 1000 sensetivity and a new shooting mode for twilight - perfect, apparently, for those romantic holiday sunset snaps.'
'optical zoom is only 3X optical'
'Sony has introduced a compact point-and-shoot camera with built-in wireless connectivity.'
'The DSC-H9 achieves a good balance between the hardware controls and the software menus; providing complete functionality without overly complicating or cluttering up either.'
'fans of large prints, 100% on-screen viewing, or high ISO shooting should probably steer clear of the DSC-H9'
'The handling of the H9 is very pleasant; you can grip it much like an SLR, left hand cradling the lens'
'Sony touts the fact this camera is capable of HD out to your HDTV—unfortunately you'll need to purchase a separate accessory with the appropriate HD connectors.'
'ISO 1600 and 3200 are lousy, and should be avoided at all costs.'
'the T200 is still a pretty good ultra-compact camera, and one which I can recommend to most everyone.'
'The Sony DSCT200 digital camera is a great bargain for the money it costs'
'Like most new Cyber-shot cameras, the T200's system settings rest hidden in the device's PlayStation Portable-like Home menu, a slightly redundant submenu you probably won't access much except when turning off the camera's annoying beeps.'
'The fact the screen doesn't automatically gain-up in low light is almost inexcusable'
'the camera should do fine with typical city night scenes.'
'58MB of internal memory.'
'It is easy to use, offering a selection of automatic modes, along with a High Sensitivity scene mode that boosts the ISO up to 1000 to capture pictures without the flash at places like night clubs where illumination is limited.'
'Flash coverage was slightly uneven at wide angle, and the flash actually useless at telephoto (thanks to the long 12x optical zoom range).'
'conversion lens compatible so you can easily add optional telephoto and wide-angle lenses for even greater optical range'
'Just behind the shutter are two buttons: One to choose between various automatic or manual focus modes and another to toggle through drive modes and exposure bracketing'
