I was wondering if this would be a good choice for a digital camera .
It's really pretty, it has 8.1 MP, touch screen so it doesn't waste space with buttons, 4GB memory .

The 3X Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar optical zoom lens lets you get in closer to your subject without ever protruding outside the camera’s frame - even when at full zoom. Combined with Sony’s Double Anti-Blur Solution, which consists of Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200), you’ll get uncompromising, professional-looking shots each and every time.

Also packed inside this remarkably small camera is an entire 4GB of internal flash memory that lets you store literally thousands of pictures at once. It almost completely eliminates the need to buy a memory card ever again. However, if you do need additional storage, the DSC T2 is compatible with Memory Stick media.

To add to its seamlessly simple appearance is a 2.7" touch screen LCD display. Boasting superb clarity and colour reproduction, it features an anti-reflective coating that makes picture review, preview, and menu navigation a snap. Plus, with the touch screen interface and icon-based menu, Sony has simplified the way you interact with the camera’s functions by eliminating most of the exterior buttons for truly easy operation.

The cool features don’t stop there, either. Face Detection technology can recognize up to 8 different faces in a photo, then automatically controls focus, exposure, colour, and flash to produce the best shot possible. Add Smile Shutter Mode, and the DSC T2 won’t take the picture until everyone’s smiling, laughing or grinning. As always, it comes with standard must-haves like Red-Eye Removal and In-Camera Retouching. And with Movie Mode and HD Output2, you can connect to your HDTV and enjoy your videos and still pictures on the big screen.

FEATURES:

* Computer Compatibility: Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional SP4, Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista; Mac Os 9.1/9.2, Mac OS X (10.1-v10.5)
* Autofocus System: Multi-Point (9-Points), Centre-Weighted, Flexible Spot (Touch Panel)
* Digital Media Types: Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo(High Speed), Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo
* Included In Box: Rechargeable Battery Pack NP-BD1, Battery Charger BCCSD, USB Cable x 2 (Long/Short), USB Adapter for Multi Connector, Paint Pen, Wrist Strap, CD-ROM

This is the camera in white, the one I want .









And here's the whole series .

I've been wanting this camera too!!
It should be very good choice for a camera because of the large 4GB memory and 8.1 megapixels...
so u should get it. =)
I've seen it in Sony stores and also some other electronic stores... but dunno if I should get it because it is quite pricey for me. I'll have to think more about it.

I have it happy.gif
I chose it because I used a Sony Cybershot before and I had a memory card for it already.
If you're in it mainly because of how it looks I would say get it~ I mainly got it because it was cute and compact [I have one in white].
However, if you're more into quality you might reconsider. Not that this has bad quality but its not the best.
Here are some sample pictures[original size/unedited & sorry if they're weird pics LOL]:







Yup, there are some flaws in the pictures but its harder to see if you reszie them and most of the time you probably won't need big prints anyway smile.gif

Overall its a good camera happy.gif Stylish and good enough quality. There are some paint functions and little sticker things you can use to decorate your pictures. Hope you decide on a camera biggrin.gif Goodluck!

i have it! my mom got it for me for xmas. it's really pretty, but there are better camera's out there. sony mainly goes for looks to reel in the big bucks. the zoom is average, 3x. the video is nice. i went to HB this year, and only used it for fancaming. i used my other camera for pictures since it had like 12x zoom. it's touch screen, very nice touch screen. there's a "paint" function on the camera, i don't use it much, only if i'm really bored. erm, it focuses on ppl's faces, or you can touch the screen to "tell" the camera what you want it to focus on. the slideshow function is pretty cool. and it has 4 GB of internal memory, so you really don't need a memory card. anymore questions, feel free to PM me.
IMO, if you're going for looks and have the $$, get it. if not, then there're prob. better, cheaper cameras out there like nikon or canon
oh yea, i have the green one. soooo pretty.

hey Darlene =D
I bought that camera a few days ago. I looooooove it!! the colour is enough to satisfy me. Im huge on colour. all my electronics have to be a pretty colour xD I got the pink. so pretty <3 the white is reallyyyy nice too. its got this sparkle to it. ahhh so pretty. like snow~

its really fun to play with. I like how you can put your focus wherever you want. you can take nice clear close up pictures. detects smiles. you can change the brightness of the pictures without using flash, which I reallyyy like. saves me a lot of time doing no flash pictures on the camera and then going on the computer and changing the lightening.

hmmm what else.. the video seems pretty good. it looks really clear on the camera. Im not sure how it is when you put it on the computer. the sound doesnt seem too good, at least when you listen to it on the camera.
when you zoom in on pictures you've taken seems kinda annoying to me

get it =D its so nice!!
you should go to the store and play with it.. if they have a store there that has that model on the floor. (cause Future Shop and Best buy dont have it on the floor >_< ) Sony store =]

We're meant to be hopefully b.e.a.u.tiful. You and me, Micky!

But for quality wise is Canon > Sony?

it's hard to push the menu buttons to play back photos/videos
the pictures themselves came out better than expected, but canon will win out in low light situations.
video quality is great.
the camera is small, stylish and though the sliding panel is a bit hard to open at first, you get used to it.

Exactly. They pretty much target the consumers who care more about style than functionality. Or the ones who are under the impression that anything with the Sony brand is considered the best.

Yes. Definitely compare the reviews on Amazon because they'll help a lot with the decision-making

I'm thinking about buying this camera. But it's so expensive..
$350 + tax equals around $395..
Do you guys think the price worth this camera?
