Sony DSC-U10 Cyber-shot U

 

Less than 4 inches long, the sophisticated Sony DSC-U10 Cyber-shot U is a digital camera that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. It has 1.3-megapixel resolution and a four-mode flash, and it even shoots MPEG video (without sound).

Learn more about this tiny camera in our review

Amazingly small, portable camera ; Very responsive ; Surprisingly good battery life ; Uses AAA batteries ; Pretty good photos considering the size of the camera

Lousy movie, playback modes ; No optical viewfinder ; LCD isn't great ; Redeye a problem (no surprise there) ; Too easy to accidentally open the lens cover

I think I've made it pretty clear in this review that the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-U10 isn't intended to be your primary camera. If it was, it would be pretty lousy. But for a take anywhere camera, it's pretty neat. It's tiny, takes decent pictures, and is...

Sony Cyber Shot U review: Sony Cyber Shot U

 

Sony Cyber Shot U

Ultraportable; fast performance; easy-to-use menu system; PictBridge compatible; includes rechargeable AAA batteries and charger.

No optical viewfinder; small, stiff controls; no optical zoom; no exposure compensation; so-so image quality.

Snapshot photographers who value portability and style over advanced features and photo quality will like this sleek little camera.

I got mine from a SONY showroom in Muscat [as usual]. They had just one piece for display directly from JAPAN, so I grabbed it for Omani Rials 100 [Rupees Twelve Thousand], way back in May 2003. Ultra-small digital still camera (DSC), the Cyber-shot U...

Let me just say that this is a fantastic camera. Most recently retailers have begun selling it for under $100 which makes this a can't miss deal. First of all, lets do a rundown of what this is: The Sony Cybershot DSC U10 was the first subminiture ...

I literally never leave home without my Cybershot. First off, know that the pictures are not the highest quality. They are, however, very good considering the low number of megapixels. I wanted to buy the camera because of its size. I could've bought a...

Small size, battery life

Pictures taken in dark lighting don't come out great
