Customer Review: The Hybrid I've been waiting for.
Summary: 5 Stars
I, like many, have been searching for a device that successfully combines the camera with the camcorder. My new Sony T900 was delivered last week and it's exceeding many of my expectations. The large touch screen on the back allows the design to be simple and intuitive. I thought I would miss control buttons on the back, but I really don't and actually the complete opposite, it's a great feature of the camera for me. The design of the T900 easily fits in a pocket and is definitely on the sleek and compact side of things. Camera feels solid and well built.
HD Video Recording:
Simply toggle the switch to the right and you're in movie mode. Outdoor shooting in good light produces some very impressive video. Displayed on a flat screen, I'd have to say this little camera easily out performs any other Point and Shoot camera I've tried. Low light shooting really surprised me, and although you can begin to see some digital noise in real dark areas of the video in a low light situation, it's not bad at all, I'm really impressed. I would not hesitate in buying this camera again or recommending it to all my friends. Zoom during video moves at one speed (unlike a camcorder where you can control the speed that you zoom in and out, this could be considered a pro or con depending on your individual taste), but it's a good, moderately slow speed that brings smoother zooms to your video. Audio is crisp and clean and records in stereo, not may P&S cameras do that. After all, part of the HD experience has to include great audio and this little camera delivers. Shooting video may take a little getting used to because the T900 is so much smaller and lighter than a camcorder, extra thought must go into keeping the camera still and keeping your motions smooth during panning. However, the great optical image stabilization works great on the T900 in movie mode.
Still Photos:
Like video recording, outdoor and good lighting produce some beautiful photos. Indoor and low light are not as good but I've found the "Twilight Portrait" scene mode produces some decent photos. I primarily view our photos on a flat screen, and the 16:9 picture mode is great for landscapes and scenery shots. Even though it's not an Ultra Wide 28mm lens, the wide angle equivilent of 35mm will still give you great landscape shots. Sure a larger zoom would be nice, but considering the slim design, 4X is pretty good and the macro mode works fantastic on this little camera. Overall, for a non-protruding 35 - 140 mm lens, this is really a nice range, great for landscapes and portrait work.
Battery life does seem a little short, but I've been shooting a lot of video and spending a lot of time reviewing on the large touchscreen. Definitely need a back up, and I like the US version of the battery charger. Prongs fold out and you simply plug it in the wall (No Cord Mess). I also picked up an extra battery. I did a test of just recording video and I recorded 63 minutes of HD video, the highest quality before I had to recharge the battery.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase. The video and photo quality are impressive. I personally don't think there's anything on the market right now that matches the T900 in the following areas: sleek thin design, great HD video, great still shots, easy user interface, and the "most pocketable". It's not the top of it's class in either category, but when you want a camera that has all of the above criteria, you can't go wrong with the T900. As I stated in the title, it's the hybrid camera I've been waiting for.

T900 also features HD Movie mode, recording in 720p and stereo sound for capturing your precious moments on video. Compose, review, and share your memories on the dazzling 3.5? high-resolution (921k pixels) touch-screen LCD.
