Description
Remarkably pocketable, Sony's DSC-T5 packs 5 Megapixel resolution and a 3X optical zoom in a size about that of a credit card, and barely 7/8" thin. Available in September, the DSC-T5 is Sony's newest combination of compact size and no-compromise image quality, and it redefines sharing opportunities with its enormous 2.5" LCD display. To minimize the thickness common to high resolution zoom cameras, the Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 3X optical zoom lens is inside the camera, and never has to extend forward to capture a shot. Because the lens is always ready to go, start-up is just 0.9 second, helping the DSC-T5 capture life's moments as they happen. Sony's Real Imaging Processor also speeds up camera functions - shot to shot time is just 1 second, and a 9 full resolution shots can be captured at 1.4 fps.
More than just fast, the DSC-T1 is accurate - 5 area multi-point AF and multi-pattern AE optimize focus and exposure even in challenging lighting. With 32MB internal memory, you're always ready to capture life's moments. And when you're ready for movie clips, Sony's MPEG VX Fine mode captures full screen video clips with sound at 30fps (requires Memory Stick(R) PRO Duo media). But it's after the shot that the DSC-T5 really shines - the 2.5" Clear Photo LCD makes it easy to share images right away. Add the optional CSS-TNA Cyber-shot(R) Station for convenient battery charging and USB image transfer. Supplied Accessories: InfoLithium(R) NP-FT1 Battery, BC-CS3 external battery charger, AV/USB multi-connector cable, wrist strap, CD-ROM 49 Segment Multi-pattern measuring exposure system and Spot meter modes 4 Mode electronic-flash (Auto/On/Off/Slow Synchro), TTL Pre-flash metering, red-eye reduction selectable in all modes Auto White Balance with 6 selectable presets (Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Fluorescent, Incandescent and Flash) Scene Mode with 10 selectable presets

Anybody wanna buy a digital camera cheap?
[ Posted: 2008-09-08 ]
Folks,
This camera only has to do one thing mainly well and that is to take crisp/clean photos at least 95% of the time.
Serves me right for buying something because it was pretty and shiny, I should have gotten something with a folding-retractable lens and a long optical zoom. Anybody wanna buy a digital camera cheap?
Pros:
--Pretty Camera.
--Shiny Camera.
--Cute on/off slider.
--Fast start up.
--Zoom resets itself fast by just restarting the camera.
Cons:
--Blurry photos everywhere. I have to take 3 shots of everything to make sure I get a good shot. Even at high ISOs. It's just a bad camera.
--I have actually taken many shots and then taken out the Mem-stick to find that non of the shots are on the Mem-stick or on camera internal memory. WTF?
--Buttons are too small for anyone over 5 years old. I got the Sony underwater case and now the buttons are more useful. The camera by itself is just too small for most adults.
--Zoom buttons are too hard to push and should be softer so I can easily zoom on-the-fly before taking a shot. Zooming is a hassle.
--There is not enough camera surface area to hold the thing securely. Just shake and bake yourself to another blurry photo.
--Night shots are terrible and useless. Feels like a cheap camera phone. Did I just pay $300 for this?
--I recently got a cheap Casio 5.1mp Exlim and, even without image stabilization, I can't get a blurry shot from the Casio even when I wave it around and take shots randomly. This Sony unit is just bad.

The camera was in incredibe condition. Despite my doubts of shopping online, Amazon.com proved me wrong. The shipping was most expedient as well and i will be shopping here again.
It's cute - but that's it

LCD screen became blur after 3 months of use. Can never take a good picture in door. Red eye reduction function is just for fun.
I don't give it 1 star because it's still usable outdoor.
DOES NOT WORK IN NIGTH
[ Posted: 2008-04-14 ]
Guys,
This model does not work in the night. If you will try to take snaps in the night, you will get just a dark background only. Even if the object/human has full light in the night,dscT5 is not able to take snap.
(Look at CNET for its reviews and comparision )
Very poor battery life, last only for 1.5 to 2 hrs.
Moreover in auto mode its take good picture, but if you customize your mode to night/beach or other mode it gives you shaky image.
Works perfect fine in day light/specially in sunlight.
Final work don't take this, rather go for some other model.

I really enjoy this digital camera. Its perfect handheld size makes it easy to use and it takes wonderful highdefinition pictures.
