Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony Cybershot DSC-T1 5MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: My First Digital Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been holding off on buying a digital camera for some time now, but I could no longer resist the inevitable pull of technology. So, after doing some research and going to a local Best Buy to play with some cameras, I settled on the Sony DSC.
I am very happy with my choice. The camera is extremely easy to use. I was surprised at how easy it is to take short movies -- one of my first videos turned out great and I emailed to a bunch of friends immediately.
A down point: The camera does have an issue taking pictures in low light. The flash is inadequate and night-time indoor pictures have a lot of blurriness. Daytime photos, however, have turned out great with excellent sharpness.
The 32MB card it comes with is good for a few photos and a couple of short videos. Definitely upgrade to a larger card at purchase. I've been told that a 128 MB card holds 60 pics at 5MP, and 80 at 3:2 ratio.
Customer Review: Great Travel/Second Camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my husband the DSCF717 5MP for christmas and he loves it. We went to Walt Disney World last week and didn't want to haul around the big camera with bag, etc. so we decided to pick up the "T1" for a travel camera. It takes great pictures and has that great marine pack for underwater and waterpark use. The underwater pics are great!!! This camera is a great second camera to the DSCF717. I wouldn't recommend it for a primary camera as there are red eye problems (can be fixed with software) but it is perfect for a vacation. It fits in an IPOD Armor case and the IPOD fanny pack which enhances it's travel appeal. We took over 600 pictures and didn't need to use the back up battery. We bought the 256 memory and it was plenty for each of the 7 days of our trip. Just download each days pics to your laptop and start over again. We are very pleased with this camera for what we used it for.Customer Review: Perfect camera for traveling

I bought this camera for my wife while on our last motorcycle trip to Yellowstone. She knows nothing about technology but this camera is so simple to use she took hundreds of pictures, some while we were moving, and they turned out fantastic. She even took movie clips while were riding through the mountains and I must say they are really fun to watch. I never dreamed that they could turn out so good from such a small camera.
You will see some redeye when shooting indoors with flash, but any photo program you use can easily remove the redeye before you print them out.
We love this camera also because it is easy to keep with you and get those shots you always missed before.
Battery life is great. Easily take pictures all day long and have battery life left. Charges quickly and easily.
Good luck and hope this helps.
Customer Review: I love mine.

I don't know what the one reviewer is complaining about when he says that the camera can't be directly plugged into the charger. Mine can and I usually leave the dock at home when I travel and just carry the charger with me. For storage I purchased a Timbuk2 soft case that is designed for the iPod and then if I'm really paranoid I put the whole assembly inside a small Pelican case. Anything that breaks this combo will probably kill me, so I'm not too concerned. The only complaint I have with the unit is the fact that it uses the Memory Stick Pro for storage, which is a smaller form factor memory stick that is incompatible with other Sony Memory Sticks. Save yourself some money and purchase the SanDisk Memory Stick Pro instead of the Sony. It works just as well. All in all this is a fantastic compact camera that produces great pictures, and the movie mode is lots of fun.Customer Review: Great Camera, Should have bought it first
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in the market of purchasing a digital camera about a month ago. It was a hard decision it was between the Canon s500 and the Sony DSC-T1. Well, it all boiled down to price and I wound up buying the Canon S500. I got the camera and was impressed with the photos but wasn't impressed about the speed. I have a 18month old and everytime I was ready to take a picture of him, he would turn his head when the camera would actually take the picture. It was very slow and frustrating. I then decided to look at the T1 after the fact and found out the camera is very fast in taking pictures. To make a long story short, I wound up selling my canon and buying the SONY. It was the best decision I can make. The picture quality is the same or better than the canon and it is SOO MUCH FASTER in taking pictures and transferring pictures. I highly reccomend the camera.
