The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W200 features a twelve (!) megapixel sensor which is coupled to a Zeiss-branded 3x optical zoom and a 2.5" LCD display. The DSC-W200's 35 - 105mm equivalent lens incorporates Sony's Super Steady Shot optical image stabilization to minimize blur caused by camera shake at slow shutter speeds. Other W200 features include ISO sensitivity to a maximum of ISO 6400 (!), in-camera photo editing, a Memory Stick Duo / PRO Duo card slot plus 31MB of built in memory, and power from a proprietary Lithium Ion rechargeable battery. The W200 also offers high definition component video output, via an optional proprietary cable or cradle.
The Cyber-shot W200 includes Sony's new face detection technology, capable of detecting up to eight faces simultaneously. Sony's system is apparently linked not only to the W200's autoexposure and autofocus systems as in most similar systems, but also to white balance and flash metering as well - allowing the camera to ensure proper flash exposure and pleasing flesh tones. Also, the W200 marks one of the first applications of Sony's Bionz image processor - first seen in the company's Alpha digital SLRs - in their compact camera models. Sony says Bionz will offer improved image quality, faster response times, and better battery life in its compact cameras.
