LCD screen too flimsy
After only 5 months this cameras LCD screen stopped working. There is not a scratch on it but the slightest touch can damage the screen and with out it you can not use the camera. The LCD screen is not covered under the sony warranty and customer service is poor.Sony Cybershot DSC-T200 8.1MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Silver)

stylish but not the best.
The red color, the perfectly slim design and touch screen were thrilling, so i replaced my other very old Sony with this one.
I regretted buying it the day my return receipt expired. The pictures look amazing, in bright, vivid color, but the quality of them is awful most of the time. The picture either turns out blurry all together or the quality is terrible when you zoom in on your face. I use the "natural" shooting mode, so it's not horrible. I just wish i listened to my more-experienced-with-cameras mom and bought another one. Before buying i thought, "well it's Sony, it can't be that bad". This time Sony let me down.
The battery dies fairly quickly too.
Other than that, i enjoy carrying a super-stylish camera around.

Awesome camera!
This is the best camera that I have ever owned. Very easy to use, almost don't even need the manual. The touch-screen options are very easy to use, and the screen is larger than any other camera I have seen. Battery life is great also. I highly recommend getting at least the 2GB flash drive, which will hold more pictures than you will probably ever need.

Common Myths about T200 - Clarified
I am a kind of person who would do a lot of reviewing before I buy a product, especially an electronic.And it was the same scenario when buying my camera.Reviewed a lot of sites- CNET, PcMag, Amazon,etc... list goes on and on.
I had my mind on T-100 initially. I didn't want to go for the touchscreen versions: T70 and T200 for the obvious reason of less battery life.
Fortunately, Sony had stopped production of T100 and the ones in the market were as expensive as T200.
I ultimately made up my mind for T200 thinking that if I'm gonna spend so much on a camera, why not get the latest one.
I'm totally satisfied with the camera.I would like to clarify certain facts about the camera:
1.Battery Life: It is obvious that a large touchscreen would drain the battery fast.But my experience has been really good. Once on a full charge, it doesn't run out that quickly as people say.And I'm a person who would take random pics of anyone and no one.So my usage is pretty high and I've never run out of battery.Its more about battery management than the actual battery life.
2.Smile Shutter: This is the most amazing feature of the camera.And it really is efficient.The pictures are clear too.
3.Indoor Pics: Some people complain that the pic indoors are very grainy.Although thats true for all the ultracompact cameras, but this one does a good job comparatively.I have rarely had tht experience.
I don't need to write about the other features as people have already written so much.
Conclusion: Its a great ultra compact camera and I would buy it again if needed to!!

Beautiful but serious battery problem
I have used Sony digital cameras for many years, and take thousands of photos in my occupation worldwide. When my trusty Sony bit the dust, I ordered this one. The biggest dissapointment is the battery, which runs down within a short half day of shooting. Worse yet, is that you have to remove the battery, and put it in a charger. You can't just plug in the camera, which means that when you are downloading the pictures to your computer, you are using the battery! Mine has quit in the middle of important downloads.
The touch screen is gorgeous, but takes getting used to.
I would reccommend you get a more conventional camera, if you are looking for a simple camera.
