two digital zoom options: a
normal 2x and an interpolated 4x.
With its proprietary new
advanced LSI engine and CxProcess III image-processing technology, the
DiMAGE A200 provides high-speed and stress-free image processing with low
power consumption. And, its ability to suppress noise and provide
exceptionally accurate color reproduction means that users get
high-quality images every time.
Movie Mode
The Dimage A200 offers a true VGA (640 x 480 pixels) movie mode, enabling
you to record video at TV-quality 30 frames per second (fps). You also
have the option to shoot at a larger resolution (800 x 600, SVGA) at 15
fps, good for viewing on a PC screen. Unlike many digital cameras, the
Dimage A200 allows use of both the optical and digital zoom while
recording movies, and the Night Movie function makes subjects highly
visible even in dark settings. You can shoot a maximum of 15 minutes of
video with audio.
Anti-Shake Technology
The Anti-Shake feature provides a highly effective way to deal with camera
shake--a major cause of substandard images, especially with telephoto
shots and when shooting in dim lighting. The Dimage A200 features a
CCD-shift mechanism to stabilize images by offsetting the shaking pattern
of the user's hand, providing stability at up to three shutter speeds
slower than on digital cameras without an Anti-Shake function.
Storage and Transfer
Images are stored on CompactFlash cards (Type I/II), and it supports
Microdrives. The Dimage A2 does not come with a memory card. It connects
to Macs and Windows-based PCs via USB 2.0 connectivity.
Direct Printing
By directly connecting the Dimage A200 to a PictBridge-compliant printer,
you can easily create prints without going through a computer--just choose
your image directly from the LCD monitor.
More Features
The camera's 1.8-inch TFT Vari-angle LCD monitor rotates 270 degrees
vertically and 180 degrees horizontally, allowing you to get a clear
viewpoint for shooting artistic angles or taking flawless self-portraits.

pixel), RAW+JPEG, and TIFF formats.

flash has a five-second refresh and fill, red-eye reduction, slow sync,

makes it easy to carry and use anywhere.

battery (NP-800), which provides power for approximately 260 images or 330
minutes of continuous playing time. It measures 4.49 x 3.15 x 4.53 inches

Great Photo Quality, amazing low light images., September 20,

Reviewer: S. HUBERT
I did a bunch of reseach before buying this camera. I
wanted something that was more then a point and shoot but less then a dSLR
which costs a bit more then I can afford these days. I knew going into it
that the AF wasn't the best for the camera, but the Antishake and the ease
of adjusting the ISO, Apeture, and Shutter Speed made it a worthwile
purchase.
This thing shoots really really sharp low noise shots
in even the darkest corners of rooms. Write times aren't that bad, only a
bit long if your shooting RAW.
This Camera also has a really cool mode called
Ultra-High Speed that shoots like 40 frames a second. Its great for
capture really high speed moments in time.
I also really like the manual zoom. It really gives you
the feeling of control over the camera.
The only drawback is the AF, but you can overcome that
with the Direct Manual Focus feature, which lets you override the AF by
turning the focus ring.
If you can afford it, buy it, it won't let you
