This camera wins on the basis of the image it presents more than on the images it takes. It's stylish, handy and fun to use, but the pictures it takes are good, but not great.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1

 

This slim 5-megapixel has a striking 2.5-inch LCD.

The Cyber-shot DSC-T1 packs a lot of functionality into its tiny case, and the 2.5-inch LCD will give other digital camera owners display envy. The photos aren't bad, either.

Sony DSC-T1 5.0mp Digital Camera Camera

 

Sony's 5-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-T1 is an engineering marvel. About the size of a deck of cards, it has rounded edges that encourage it to slide smoothly into your pocket or purse. The 3X zoom lens is mounted completely inside the camera--so when you...

The DSC-T1 comes with a cradle for charging its lithium-ion battery and for downloading your images from its Memory Stick media. The cradle requires a separate power adapter that might prove cumbersome for travel. Though you can't download photos...

Digital Cameras - Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 Digital Camera Review, Information, Specifications

 

Sony's Cyber-shot line of digicams have consistently proven themselves to be versatile performers, with high build quality, providing numerous innovations in the digicam marketplace. Now, the DSC-T1 breaks new ground in the subcompact category, packing...

The front of the DSC-T1 is nearly flat, except for a slight protrusion from the sliding lens cover. The lens cover acts as a power switch as well, though the camera does feature a separate Power button. Because the lens design is all-internal, it...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1

 

So what do we like about the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1? Well, we felt the ‘live’ histogram display was useful for getting those technically correct exposures during shooting. And who can forget the large 2.5-inch, 211 000 pixel LCD screen that gave us...
