DIY: Shoot your next Home Movie using a Sony Digital (Video) Pocket Camera

About a year ago, at DLD07, I rediscovered the Sony DSC line of pocket digital cameras. A few of my friends were using these cameras at DLD to shoot 640x480 30 frames per second video rather than just take pictures. When I got back from DLD, I bought my first Sony DSC camera (a T9) and I’ve never used any of my camcorders ever since. For myself, besides the quality of the video, it was having the video automatically captured and immediately available on a memory stick that was the most significant innovation.

Until that moment, being the owner of a video camera that recorded onto MiniDV tape meant that any video that I took had to be first “captured” before it could be used. And after awhile, I stopped using my video camera because I never took the time to capture and edit my videos. The fact that I no longer need to spend any time capturing the images from my tapes makes it much more likely I will record something. “Ease of use” was not something I directly associated with the creation of digital video…until then.

During 2007 I graduated from the DSC-T9 to the DSC-T50 and at the moment I carry the DSC-T200 with me just about everywhere. I use a 4 gig memory stick and I have plenty of storage for quick videos that I might capture. It is small enough to keep in my pocket and good enough to be used when it matters most. What continues to impress me the most about the Sony DSC line of cameras is the quality of the recorded audio.

If you are in the market for a new camcorder to film home videos, before you purchase a camcorder, consider purchasing a digital camera instead. These days I recommend the Sony DSC-T200 with a 4gig memory stick. Talk about a “Wow” experience. The T200 comes with a 8.1 megapixel Sony CCD imager, an internal Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 5x optical zoom lens, a 3.5-inch Touchpanel TFT LCD display and can shoot in Fine Movie mode (640x480 w/audio at 30 fps). My kids enjoy the ability to “draw” on the pictures.

The Sony DSC-T200 is my pocket video camera.

"My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered and so he doesn’t deserve anything.""You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not have received any of my blessings.""Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray for that I should owe him anything?""He prayed that all your prayers would be answered."

I fully agree with you. I have a W200, a 12.1 Megapixel camera, that I like very much. The
difference with respect to a videocamera is that W200 can't operate the zoom while you're shooting. In my Blog, concerned with value of the silence in walking and traveling, I extensively use it.

Hi Ken,

My Zeppelin pics and videos seen at: http://pulverblog.pulver.com/archives/007717.html were all shot on the DSC-T200.

I can not tell much if any difference between the T200 and the T50.

Posted by: Jeff Pulver at January 6, 2008 09:07 PM

Hey Jeff,

sure: the DSC-T200 is fairly easily the coolest looking slim digicam currently on the shelf at Bestbuy.

But some of the reviewers have trashed it saying that the image quality is disappointing compared to other slim digicams, including the DSC-T200's own predecessors.

Your findings here?

The only problem with Sony's camera's is the memory slot format. If you have lots of SD cards around you are SOL if you buy a Sony device.
