Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50

Slim and sexy, the Cyber-shot DSC-T50 has oodles of style and takes decent shots.

Beautiful 3-inch touch screen LCD. Wonderful design. Very good performance. Large text and on-screen buttons make it easy to navigate through menus.

A bit pricey. Some images too noisy. Lousy burst mode. No glass viewfinder.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T50 review

Lately, it seems as if Sony is putting out a new T-series camera every other week. The newest addition to this hip line of snapshooters is the Cyber Shot DSC-T50. Like the T30, it features a 7.2-megapixel CCD sensor; optical image stabilization; a 3X...

Optical image stabilization; solid image quality; 58MB internal memory.

Slow f/3.5 maximum aperture; too reliant on touch screen.

The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T50 keeps the better features of the DSC-T30, but adds a touch screen interface we could've lived without.

Sony Cyber-Shot T50

I wouldn't consider the new Sony T50 to be an upgrade to the T30 but here it goes: The Cyber-shot T50 takes the T30, strips most of its buttons and replaces that large 3 inch LCD with a touchscreen unit. Other than that, it's basically the same camera....

3x internal lens with optical image stabilization ; Strong flash at high ISO speeds ; Excellent battery life ; Large and visible LCD ; Nice close-up modes ; Very good movie mode with zoom ; Good image quality

Clunky touchscreen interface (More menus than usual) ; No manual controls ; Slow and limited continuous shooting ; Redeye and edge sharpness issues

The Sony Cyber-shot T50 is takes everything from the T30, throws away most of its buttons and puts in a touchscreen panel. Other things remain the same; 7 megapixels, internal lens with an image stabilizer, movie mode and LCD visibility.
