Sony Cybershot DSC-T100 8MP Digital Camera with 5x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot (Silver)

I had no intentions of buying a camera, but I stumbled upon this one on clearance for $200 bucks at Best Buy. With an upcoming trip to Italy and my Pentax DSLR our only camera option I decided to buy it. Had I known it would be so difficult to find another one at that price, I would have bought them all. I'm happy with the purchase at my price, but would have been disappointed with the $400-600 everyone else seems to be paying.
The touchscreen works well, it's very responsive and easy to use. There could be some design improvements with the interface, but it's not too bad.
Well lit outdoor pics look great. Indoor, lowlight pics are mediocre.
File sizes are ok. Unfortunately no option for RAW files and it also doesn't use SD which is all but standard now, so i had to buy an additional memory card.

The bottom line is that it's perfect if your expectations are appropriate. Don't expect it to replace a DSLR, or take professional quality images. It's small, fits in my shirt pocket, is easy to use and easy to travel with. The images are good enough for a slideshow or scrapbooking--if that's your thing. Pick one up if you can find it under $300

I know that it is very expensive, but if you can afford it, don't think twice about it. I had the model before this one but gave it away to my nephew and run home to buy another one and found this new model. Takes the pictures fast, the clarity and sharpeness is amazing. Many choices and simple to navegate. Easy to learn. Fits in your pocket and ready to shoot in half a second. If I lose it tomorrow, I will buy another one the day after.

Good product from sony.
I am surprised to see its price getting increased after I had purchased the product.

Its odd to add a review for a camera now out of production, but consistently this camera rates significantly higher then its successors the T200, or T300. The later generations have higher resolution images, and improved software. But this older model delivers better pictures, and more pictures per charge. In the end isn't that what you get a camera for?

Its sad, but true, that the photo journals and consumer report articles on the newer cameras consistently report them as disappointingly inferior to this older model. This explains why this old model now sells for more, sometimes twice as much, as it did when it was in production - or as the newest successor sells for now.

This is the third digital camera I've owned and the picture quality is terrible. The pictures come out blotchy and blurry unless the object is standing perfectly still and there's the perfect amount of light. I love the camera, it's display and menu, and the overall handiness, but the pictures are truly disappointing.
