Ive had this camera a few years now, im not an experienced photographer and still getting to grips with the settings. For personal use the images are great quality. Only annoying part is the batteries.

Great camera to use on full auto, panoramic and movie modes. Still learning how to use all the features,will probably never need them as the picture quality is excellent if you let the camera do the work.

I required a new camera, with increase pixels and at the right price and with a reliable name, so the Sony H200 fitted the bill, with it ease of use, good imaging, easy storage and good online back up

I want to be able to see something, point the camera and take an image. I see something, point the camera, hold down the button, wait a few seconds and then get an image.

This camera takes really fantastic pictures but on the downside it is rather cumbersome and the zoom facility is below par as it is not smooth but juddery. The video feature is rather average. Also when you turn camera on the zoom advances out about quarter of an inch rather than sitting plush. But as I said it does take nice pictures of which a camera like this should.

Nice style easy to handle,26 zoom fantastic,does every thing that I need.Only thing I find a bit disconcerting is 4 Batteries in stead of a rechargable flat one I'm used to.Overall a very good buy.

Wouldn't save pictures to SD card just a month after I bought it!!!!! However to begin with it did take great quality pictures and videos so maybe I just had a bad one.

I bought this camera a few weeks ago and I'm so glad I did. After reading reviews for three other cameras, I opted for the Sony. Why, because of the reviews and I've always trusted Sony. The camera itself is straight forward and easy to use. I've used it a few times just as a point and shoot and the pictures are spot on. Easy to handle, good size screen and a great panoramic setting. Unfortunately I've not had the time to go into all the functions as I'm still learning. Would I recommend this...

Easy to use

Had around 4 weeks, took some smashing pics at safari park, going to Spain shortly, looking forward to see what pictures I can get, nota good photographer, but hoping for some good pics, very easy to use, focus very good.
Shoot with style and get close to the action with the Sony DSC-H200, a feature-rich, 20.1 MP, 26x zoom camera. Keep everything blur-free with Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and even capture HD video. This well-rounded handheld has a 3" LCD for easy viewing plus built-in editing effects for great results, shot after shot.
A powerful 20.1 megapixel CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 20.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3+ (13x19") size, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots. The 26x zoom Sony lens helps you get much closer to your subjects.
Sony's Active Mode image stabilization gives you the freedom to shoot movies even while walking or running. 2-way Active Mode corrects for both vertical and horizontal motion.
In 720p MP4 movie mode the camera shoots 1280 x 720 high definition movies at 30 fps, a standard format when working with a PC.

Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and up to 360° full circle, the camera can take a variety of panoramic shots. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep.
