Manufacturer's Description

The DSC-W200 combines the amazing detail of 12.1 MP resolution with high sensitivity for shooting without a flash even in very low light. Super SteadyShot® image stabilization keeps blur to a minimum, and advanced high-tech features like Face Detection, D-range optimization, and in-camera retouching and red-eye reduction help bring out the best in every shot you take. For shooting and sharing on location, there's a large 2.5" LCD screen that makes viewing exceptionally easy. And HD (high definition) output1 lets you share memories in spectacular high definition clarity and detail on compatible HDTV screens.

With more megapixels than most digital cameras, the DSC-W200 captures greater image definition so you can make big prints and tight crops without losing detail. The advanced Sony® Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

A top-quality Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical zoom lens design helps the DSC-W200 bring distant subjects closer and lets you frame shots quickly for better composition -- a real advantage for family sports, outdoor fun and travel photos.

By automatically controlling focus, exposure, color and flash, this new Sony feature reveals faces in shadow, makes skin tones look more natural and eliminates harsh facial glare -- to help bring out every expression on every face in every shot, so you’ll capture the personalities and emotions that make memories come alive.

At 3 MP resolution, you can shoot effectively without flash even in very low light to preserve the mood and capture fast action at high shutter speeds -- with the Sony Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction system to take care of the picture noise that can ruin low-light shots.

With Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization, the DSC-W200 compensates for shaky hands and minimizes blur with optical sensors that detect camera movement and send correcting signals to a stabilization lens -- so there’s no need to crop in on your shot to reduce blur.

Thanks to Sony, your photo album can go high-def -- with direct HD output1 to your HDTV screen, so you can view DSC-W200 still photos in spectacular high definition clarity and detail. Your life never looked so exciting!

It’s the high-definition viewing experience that makes photos come alive on HDTV screens, accompanied by your choice of visual effects and any of four preset musical selections stored in memory or your favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from PC to your camera for use as background music.

Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, the DSC-W200 can measure auto-focus precision at 9 points on your screen -- giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image.

Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz® high-speed processing engine, D-Range Optimization preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for great results even in difficult lighting conditions.

The DSC-W200 lets you add creative effects to photos after you shoot -- including soft edge filter to soften backgrounds, cross filter to place starry "dazzles" at highlight points, partial color filter to mute surrounding colors, even fish-eye filter to create interesting fish-eye lens effects.

Irritating "glowing eyes" can ruin even the most creative photos -- so the DSC-W200 provides in-camera correction at the touch of a button to reduce lingering red-eye effect that other systems might miss.

The DSC-W200 provides a large, bright 2.5"1 TFT LCD screen that makes it easy to compose shots, check results and read menus even in bright sunlight as well as view and share photos in sharp, natural colour.

n addition to its bright 2.52 LCD screen, the DSC-W200 has a built-in optical viewfinder to allow shooting in traditional rangefinder camera style and save battery power by turning off your LCD screen off.

A quick press of the Home button opens your user-friendly GUI -- and you can select functions by simply moving a cursor vertically or horizontally to the appropriate icon. Function names and the on-screen Function Guide display make it easier to learn camera setup operations.

The DSC-W200 allows you to capture a large number of images without a flash memory card, so it’s great for traveling or for quick candid snapshots.

A built-in slot accepts optional Memory Stick Duo™ media or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media -- the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easily to upload photos to your computer or make lab-quality prints at home on your Sony Picture Station™ digital printer (sold separately).

The Sony Smart Zoom® feature intelligently "crops into" the central portion of interest in your photo, avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.

Capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second5), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.

The DSC-W200 provides up to 270 shots3 with a fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery -- enough shooting capacity to cover a long weekend or a whole vacation.

Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize and search photos on your PC -- and provides a convenient map view function to sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map by using an optional GPS unit.
