Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX200 Pro Reviews

For a simple point and shooter, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX200 fulfils its brief. Don't buy this camera with high expectations of developing your photographic skill. It's a sexy little number for the happy snapper crowd who want something good looking to take pictures with. It's not bogged down with technological advancements or menus of creative features. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX200's menu system can be confusing when you first start using it. The initial menu is easy enough to understand, but once you get into the Main menu, things start to get complicated for someone who just wants top take pictures of the kids. Maybe a little too complicated? Still, there's a handy shooting guide to assist you in the day to day trappings of taking pictures.

The Sony Cyber-shot WX200 delivers bright colourful photos, with good exposure and reasonable levels of detail. Rather more impressive is that the camera packs a wide-angle 10x optical zoom lens with optical image stabilisation in a metal body not much larger than your typical 5-6x zoom camera (and more compact than many modern smartphones), making this camera extremely pocketable and versatile. High speed shooting at 10fps, rapid performance, full HD video with stereo sound, Wi-Fi and good ease of use, make this a well rounded camera, which would be ideal for the casual snapper who wants to be able to quickly share photos. Although the price does put this compact camera at the more expensive end of the market, if you are looking for an ultra sleek camera with a lot of zoom and Wi-Fi then this delivers.

Lots of great features in a tiny package, and image quality is up to scratch
