Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Easily fits into back pocket, so it goes anywhere with you. Quick startup, so going from off to ready-to-shoot takes less than 2 seconds. Good pic quality if bright and well-lit subjects.

Weakness: Shots requiring a flash leave me disappointed.

If you're using this in bright settings or in a well-lit room, it's a perfect camera (if you don't mind the prices of the memory and batteries). Small, lightweight, easy to use. But in low-light where you need a flash, use something else. The flash is weak; the subject has to be no further than 5 or 6 feet from the camera. Everything behind the subject will be dark (not just night shots with a...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: small lots of features 5.1Mp quick picture taking 2.5" screen

Weakness: short battery life needs a lot of adjustment for really good pictures - you must delve into all the settings and can't rely on auto mode weak flash no tripod mount pics not so sharp in low light

a bit pricey, but if you look around online you can find it cheaper. I would probably get a different camera - there are so many great quality 5MP cameras out there for ~$300 that are better quality. It can take great pics, but you really have to know the adjustments because the automatic settings can't always be trusted. Once you get to know the settings and try different settings in different...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Great LCD. Awseome size. Fantastic menu options. Portability. Incredible design.

Weakness: Extremely weak flash. Horrible flash photos. Decent daytime photos. No case.

At first, I was very excited about this camera. The size of the LCD, the size of the camera and the 5.1mp, seemed like the perfect camera to me. Unfortunately, the quality of the pictures are not that great. Daytime photos are somewhat dull and lack-lustre. This isn't a huge problem because I use iPhoto and the "enhance" feature takes care of most of this problem. I could have been happy with...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: size, convenience of operation, docking station's ease of charging and downloading pix, appearance (Cool factor), large LCD, menus, controls, lens cover,

Weakness: flash photos, timer photos, sensitive to hand-movement

great camera to carry in your shirt pocket. Unobtrusively takes great photos, once you learn the correct adjustments. Nothing more to say, except plan on spending some hours with the 120 page instruction manual.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Excellent 5MP photos. Very compact. Very high "cute" factor. Excellent video mode,esp. 640 fine (30fps). Ability to crop photos/video clips in camera. Macro ability excellent. Multiburst mode great!

Weakness: Red eye is significant. Almost too small, can easily fall out of your hands. No manual focus, white balance, aperture, shutter speed. Flash is weak/very limited range. No tripod mount.

This is a really good point and shoot camera with excellent quality photos. We especially like its ability to crop in the camera and maintain the quality of the photo. I like the multiburst mode to study golf swings and action sequences without having to use movie mode. The red eye is a problem but usually easy to fix with editing software. A tripod mount on the docking station would be nice; a...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Camera is very compact, takes great pictures, very easy to operate, large screen

Weakness: Accessories are very expensive, must keep camera steady when taking pictures,

This is a great camera to keep with you, convenient, and captures great pictures. I highly recommend this camera to someone who doesn't mind spending some money for the memory stick.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Small, easily fits in any pocket. Sliding cover is a great idea. The video was neat, better quality than the snapshots.

Weakness: Took awful, awful pictures.

I really wanted to like this camera. It cost hundreds more than others I looked at (S410, Pentax s4i, etc.) But it was so compact, easy to carry, great docking bay that automatically fires up the software, BUT THE PICTURES SUCKED! Fortunately I bought it at best buy (salesman couldn't get their floor model to take a decent pic either) and I took it back. Bought a Pentax S4i and love it. Cheaper...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: Can fit in your pocket. Big LCD. 15 min 30fps movies w/512MB card.

Weakness: Overall picture quality disappointing. Flash pix other than close ups are very poor.

I wanted a high quality compact camera and bought this one in Tokyo when it first came out. It's generally been a disappointment. My previous camera was an Epson 800 and the pictures looked so off on the T1 comparatively, I thought something was wrong with the camera at first. I work at night and was shocked to see how bad the flash pix were. Daytime shots in good light look OK but that's about...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 5.1 Megapixel Compact Camera

Strengths: size, solidity of construction, picture quality, features

Weakness: no tripod socket

I wanted a small point and shoot camera after I had a Canon S10 for 4 years. My original aim was to get a Pentax, but after handling it in a photo shop, I decided it was too flimsy and the next closest offering was the Sony DSC-T1. I am glad I did not buy on the internet for I would have been locked into an inferior product. I love the features, the big size LCD, the lens that does not protrude...

Sony Cybershot T1

The design of the Sony Cybershot T1 adds to the quality and durability of the camera. The body of the Cybershot T1 feels very solid and a lot of attention is paid to the small details which also lead to a positive experience. The remembrance of the moment is not well-considered anymore on a 1.5-inch screen! Read our camera review now at LetsGoDigital Camera Magazine.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T1 Digital Camera Review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 is a quintessential point-and-shoot camera, intended for a higher-end audience that wants both strong digital still and video imaging and performance, combined with a sleek and slender design. This camera has an impressive CCD (5.1 megapixels at 0.42 inches), a huge 2.5-inch LCD screen, and a 3x optical zoom, though no viewfinder. The Cyber-shot boasts a Sony Carl Zeiss...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1

Sony's new DSC-T1 packs impressive capabilities (5 megapixels, a 3x zoom, and loads of features), good color, and good image quality into an amazingly compact case. Also impressive is its lens, which manages to deliver good sharpness across the frame, without the pronounced softness in the corners seen in many ultra compact models. Check it out!
