This camera takes amazing pictures. I read someone compare it to a micro 4/3rds. I dont think thats quite accurate, however under ideal high light, mid range, stationary object photos I can see their point. This camera really does take some amazing photos for a P&S. Especially in low light conditions. (I'll upload those shortly.)
Compared to my Pany TS4, this camera is like a supermodel. Thinner lighter and less butch looking. The photos are substantially better. If photo quality is your highest priority, and you want something that can take some accidental abuse here and there, get this camera. It also has the added benefit of being able to charge directly from a usb port. It incorporates a beautiful full touch screen instead of buttons. It has GPS and full array of digital features like small detector, auto stabilizing, etc. And as mentioned earlier it takes pretty good low light shots for its size.
There are some issues with its great size and super model looks though. Its wicked tough to use one handed, and impossible in ski gloves. (Yes its may, but i tried it.) The batter compartment doesnt lock closed like on my panny, but rather just uses a slider simmilar to other digis. The waterproof door is scary fragile looking. The seal does not inspire confidence. It also has this mirror finish on the lens and flash that pop up and down when the camera gets turned on. This makes for a very cool look, but how long can that last with abuse? I'm giving Sony the benefit of the doubt on these issues. I assume they tested it and it stands up to the abuse. It has a very good looking glass like face and the lens sits flush with it. That makes putting your finger in front of it a pain because you dont know where it is by touch. The zoom is by far the most miserable implementation i have ever used. Its a very small, cheap feel piece of plastic that sticks straight out of the corner at a 45 degree angle. I've been messing around with this camera less than 24 hours and im already worried im gonna break it. There is also a little lag with zooming sometimes, and with using some features on the screen. Lastly unlike my panny, this camera is not shockproof at all. Probably because of some of these fragile but good looking features. Lastly it takes microSDHC cards, kinda a bummer when I have so many regular sized cards lying around. I suppose i should be grateful its not a memory stick.
Where does that leave this camera then? Its definately not for the outdoorsy type, as I can see this easily getting broken in my pack, or frozen in the snow, and I cant use it with any type of gloves. But it is great looking, takes great photos and offers water resistance. I cant stress the great photos enough. I would opt for the Sony DSC TX66 probably, which has all the same features in a smaller factor, save for the gps and waterproofing, for much less. But if money aint no thang, you need a camera that will survive your adventures around the pool, and you dont mind a little extra bulk this is a fine choice.
Edited to add: I will try to upload some pictures that demonstrate the background blurring 'feature.' Since youre not manually focussing with all of those benefits, im not sure why'd you want the downside of the totally out of focus background. I suppose it does look artsy.
Second Edit: It smudges on the front and back like you crazy, but the glass face does give it a kind of iphone look...



Terrible camera, gorilla glass in the front creates glares in pictures and all kinds of problems, since it messes up lighting, stay away from it, DO NOT BUY....

The Sony TX 200V is a nice unit, but after reading some of the reviews I began to question how waterproof it is. There are reports online that the battery door seal is not as robust as other brands. I decided to give it some added protection by purchasing a waterproof case. I purchased the Polaroid case, for use when taking underwater pics & video.
The camera is fast taking pictures and takes very nice photo's. It's new to me, so I can't really add any information as to the durability just yet. We'll find out in a couple of weeks when I get back from the trip, I'll add to the review and post some pics.

I have not used it under water, nor have I used the GPS locating feature which tags each photo with the GPS coordinates of where the shot was taken.



Cons:
This camera uses a microSD card instead of a regular SD card. Why?! Who thinks an SD card is so big you need a microSD card? For both my acer laptop & my macbook pro (which both have sd card slots) I have to use an SD card adapter to read an microSD card. It's just silly. Plus they are more $$ an slower.
On top of that, the slot in the camera that takes the microSD card allows you to put the card in backwards and the camera doesn't tell you until you try to shoot some video - as there is internal storage for stills. A regular SD card is notched so that you can't put it in wrong. This is just a huge error.
I took the camera to a museum opening. The stills came out great, really nice. But nearly every video I shot was blurry. It was like the Sony Camera was trying to "track the focus" too aggressively and thus whenever I would move the camera while shooting video, the focus would go our of whack until I stopped moving for a few seconds. In the end, nearly every video I shot was useless.
I also used it in the pool. The stills & video came out very nice but I had a real problem using the touch screen in the water. Several times it was almost impossible to "touch" the video record icon - and as there is no longer a hard button for video recording, this is sort of a big problem.
Instead of the usual single device battery charger Sony used to ship, now you get a USB charger and a USB cable. So charging your battery on the road means having to carry a cable and an adapter instead of just the cable. Ick.
Pros:
The camera is sturdy and solid, seems well built. When you turn it on, a little internal lens cover opens to reveal the lens. Nicely touch.
The still I shot all came out great. I used a variety of modes and this was in a fairly dark museum setting. Very impresses here.
The touch screen is much more responsive than previous versions of this camera and the interface has been refined / improved. Also, you can lock the touch icons to keep from changing settings accidentally.
Summation: I am going to have to try more video. Maybe I did something but I doubt it, I shoot a lot of video and stills and I use a lot of Sony cameras. Maybe the museum was too dark for the focus to set properly. I was very disappointed in the blurry video.

Also, if you are using the camera underwater, the touch screen does not work, so you can not change settings once it is wet.


And, you may need an extra battery because battery life is rather short.
I used the pouch, until one moment - on vacation - when I found the plastic pouch reacted to humidity by getting cloudy. That time, when I took it out of the case and used it snorkeling in shallow water, well, that's when the battery door failed and water got inside the camera. It stopped working. I've just sent it in to Sony for service. Not the best outcome. I waited to buy a waterproof camera until just before my vacation. I do have the waterproof pouch so in the future I must ALWAYS use that - fog or not.
Likely I'll buy another truly waterproof camera for my next island visit.
On land this takes beautiful pictures and video! But get a protective pouch if you intend to use it in water.

Tx 200 is also a great one, with water proof, without the slide lid.
Only small battery, which does not matter because we can change battery any time.

However, I don't think it's worth $500. This is much more of a niche cam. For $500 you could pick up a DSLR that shoots better pictures. For $500 you could also get a nice Panasonic camcorder that shoots better video. So, why buy this cam? Like I said, it's in it's own niche. It's small, it's sleek and stylish and it's pretty easy to use. Throw it in your pocket and you're ready to go. Also interesting that it can pull off underwater shooting. I'd never need it for that but it's worth mentioning.
What I don't like about it:
1) No remote. For $500 I want a remote. I prefer wired capability (add the jack guys, c'mon). But either way, an IR remote would be expected at this price point.
2) No AV out. They have HDMI out, I want AV out, too! The only thing you can hook up HDMI out to is an HDMI in device, which is basically a computer or TV - or a huge, expensive external monitor that no one would use with this type of cam anyways.
3) In what appears to be an attempt to scam customers out of more money, Sony wants you to purchase an extra AC adapter that will allow you to film while supplying power to the cam. If you try to plug in via USB or USB to Adapter, you get an error message along the lines of "Playback only during USB connection" - with no option to start filming. Luckily, I found a way around this is to start filming THEN plug it in (You can stop filming and start again after).
4) Touch screen is extremely annoying. Sometimes it's too sensitive. Sometimes I have to TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP to get into a menu. Most annoying is when I hold the camera backwards pointed towards me to take a picture or look at the front of the cam. I make a conscious effort to try and not touch the screen but of course it's impossible and just the slightest graze will spring a menu or stop recording. For a pick up and shoot camera, this is frustrating. They realy didn't need a touch screen - could have easily had 2 menu buttons - but it seems like they wanted to be "sleek" like the iPhone or something. In other words, they sacrificed usability for vanity.
5) Everyone has SD cards. The video function records at I believe 28mbps. I want to be able to pop in a huge 32gb+ SD card and record away. But no, you're limited to Micro SD cards. BOOOO!

As it was dust proof, I expected it to be useful.
It is light. It's picture quality is not better than other Sony and better lenz cameras.
Still, it is good. It is not easy to hold with one hand. It is not intuitive.
The major problem is the plastic front cover gets scratched easily. So, I have scratches
in front of the lenz. It is a bad design. The later model has sliding cover that prevents this.
Don't buy it. It may last 3 months in your pocket.
This is my second review on it: It is not as fast as sony wx150. I bought it to take a very fast capture of kids and people. My previous wx150 was so fast, it was very useful. This one is slow. It takes time to be on, and it take more time to take the next shot after one. I expected it to be faster as a real pocket camera.


Can't charge, can't upload pictures.
Bad solder? Poor design? I snapped a picture with my iPad but don't see how to upload here to share.
I had to buy a micro card reader and battery recharger to get my pictures off of the TX200V. Very disappointing.

1) This camera is very small. Depending on what you want, this is a pro or a con. Personally, I found it so small, it was a little challenging at times to hold it without obstructing the lens, or the flash, or hitting a button on the screen. If you have very small hands, this shouldn't be a problem. If you have very large hands, it almost certainly will.
2) The camera is water proof. That is REALLY COOL! ...however, this feature does carry with it a few side effects.
First, there is no optical zooming. With 18.2 MP, you can do a fair amount of digital zooming without losing a significant amount of quality, but there are limits! The very small optics also make for less impressive pictures, even when you aren't doing any zooming. It's not horrible, but you aren't ever going to see professional pictures taken with this style of camera.
Second, there are no physical buttons; everything is touch screen. I let my mom try the camera out for a while, but she had a hard time operating it without her glasses on.
I would recommend this as an excellent camera to take to the beach or to a theme park with water rides where the camera may get wet. If you want a camera that is water proof and very portable, this is a GREAT choice! It is also a good choice if you want to give a camera to your (responsible) child as the small form factor would be very comfortable to his/her hands. I would not recommend it if you are looking for something to take portraits or macro photography.



Some might complain about not having a remote - remotes are obsolete, your smile is your remote and it makes pictures even better with smile! i just put camera somewhere (a tree, a tripod, a trash bin, a fence - you can find something to put camera on pretty much anywhere) my smile shutter is always on so all i meed to do is to smile to my camera and it takes pictures, this is actually much funner way of taking pictures. i have never had a burning need for a remote and actually prefer to live without it since i don't want another thing to carry in my pocket. I have a DSLR with remotes but those rarely leave the house because of the bulkiness. i am looking forward to test it out under water when we'll go snorkeling, feels little weird taking camera under water without a case ;)
