Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 digital camera

So you want to become a proud owner of a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1? Well, it is a very good decision to take because this point-and-shoot camera is targeted to such a type of consumer who wants to have both strong digital still and video imaging and performance, and also love to have a stylish gizmo to show off. Sony has loaded this digital camera with an impressive CCD, a large 2.5-inch LCD screen, and a 3x optical zoom. You can boast about its Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens and the Real Image Processor, which therefore helps you to take both digital still images and video/audio footage. This small and compact digital camera from Sony uses one of the three types of tiny Memory Stick Duo cards, which are regular, MagicGate, and Pro and a 32MB card. The tiny memory card is supported by a Memory Stick adapter. This small camera, which will be about the size of all your credit cards piled up, has a metal body needing good care.

Like all small cameras the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 also uses small batteries. Here Sony includes the new NP-FT1 lithium-ion battery, which will give you about 85 minutes (170 photos) in record mode, or 130 minutes in playback mode. There is no hassle for charging the battery you can have it recharged in about 2.5 hours by either putting the camera into the included cradle or just plug the adapter directly into the camera. But in a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 you will get no USB or A/V port on the camera itself.

There are many accessories that come with a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1, but the most exciting ones are the MPK-THA marine case, underwater filter pact and underwater light which let you use the camera during scuba-diving. Another wonderful feature that you get in this digital camera is a large 2.5" LCD display. This screen in the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 is not just huge but also gives you high resolution. But unfortunately this camera lacks an optical viewfinder and thus you might have some trouble if you shoot in the low light situation. You can find all the buttons you need and also a four-way controller in the right of the LCD.

In this camera you will get a zoom controller that silently moves the lens from wide-angle to telephoto in about 2.2 seconds and two kinds of digital zoom. A new inclusion that might surprise you is a magnifying glass, which in one word is simply great. You get a superb movie mode with sound option, which is the trademark of Sony in this camera also, and an equally wonderful playback mode. To facilitate low light focusing there is an AF-assist lamp.

So with all its features like 5 megapixel CCD, robust performance, VGA movie mode, large LCD, and an AF-assist lamp and a good metal body, Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 is an impressive and expensive camera and a product, which will make anyone envious of you.
