Have only had this camera for a month and it is phenominal! Love the large LCD screen. Another great feature is that it automatically knows what setting to use without you having to choose, i.e., landscape,portrait, etc. It is so user friendly. Love the size because I carry it in my purse at all times. Be sure and get the backup battery that is recommended because with all the features, the battery runs down fast.

I've had my red T900 for a few weeks and here's a list of the things I love, in roughly decreasing order of importance:

- GREAT video quality. This camera shoots 720p videos at 30fps, and the quality both indoors and outdoors has far exceeded my expectations. I previously used a T100 but also use cameras from Fuji and Casio for some occasions, and the difference between the T900's 720p high-quality mode and the typical VGA fine mode on other cameras is like day and night. Not only do you get HDTV resolution, the colors are more vibrant and the clarity is just great.

- You can optically zoom the lens during video recording. This is a must-have feature for me as I mostly shoot video clips of my kids.

- Very good still picture quality. This is no digital SLR, for sure, and the image quality is probably not as excellent as Canon's and Panasonic's compact digital cameras, but it's still very good. I read some reviews before deciding on this camera and I had worries about picture quality, but they were dispelled the minute I reviewed the still images on my PC. Very good contrast and clarity, and they make great prints.

- Smile shutter. I never thought I'd buy into this feature, but now I absolutely love it! You can set the sensitivity to three levels, and you can even choose "child priority" or "adult priorit"! And it really works! This is just totally awesome for taking still shots of my kids. (Smile shutter does not work in video mode.)

- Large 3.5" touch-screen LCD. There're no conventional controls, just touch-screen, like most Sony camcorders. The LCD is 1920x480 in resolution, and the menu text looks a little jagged, but you'll love its brightness, fast speed, and clarity for viewing images.

- Fairly easy to use. Sony employs a top-level HOME menu system with sub menus, but it's not too confusing, just a tad harder to figure out the advanced stuff than on an, say, iPod touch.

- Stylish and feature-rich. This is quite thin but still features 4x optical zoom with optical stabilization. The zoom also works in movie-recording mode. It takes Memory Stick PRO Duo cards up to 16GB. Battery lasts about 150 pictures with flash. Not bad. It's light-weight so easy to carry in a pocket, too.

In short, I love this digital camera. It's perfect for all occasions.

My mom has used Sony Cyber-shot cameras for years, and she loves them. So when this came out, I decided to get my own. The sliding cover to turn on the camera is convenient and allows me to be ready to snap a picture immediately. The screen is big enough to adequately analyze a shot and determine if the quality is good enough to keep -- plus I can now show my pics to others right on my camera. With an entertaining nine-year old daughter, the video option allows me to capture action anywhere we are, without having to lug around my camcorder. I LOVE this camera. Thank you, Mom!

This camera is very compact and produces HD video and pictures. Like most cameras in this price category, low light conditions will ruin your video or picture if you don't use a flash. Very easy to use via the touch screen on the back. The video is 720p HD in mp4 format.

The biggest con with this camera is you can't simply plug it in to recharge the battery. You are required to pull the battery, and plug it in to a separate charger unit. Plus being Sony they don't use standard USB cords and have their own that is a base unit you must mount the camera on in order to download your media off of it. The other con is enabling the flash. You can't manually turn it on like most cameras. The only way it's available is if you use the simple mode and then you have control over it. If you want to use a custom mode or one of the other predefined modes then you are locked out of using the flash. Why they did that I have no idea. Makes the camera slightly less useful to me.

own the t900 (red)for about 3months.I must admit that I know little about how electronics work.However, I have enjoyed every bit of its use. I received a lot of compliments and I love it and have no regrets about purchasing it. The delivery also came earlier than I expected (I ordered on an evening and it was delivered the afternoon of the next day)cool.

I LOVE SONY CAMERAS, AND I JUST BOUGHT MY T-900 AND IM IN LOVE WITH. I JUST DECIDED TO BUY THIS ONE BECAUSE I WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING FOR NIGHT PICTURES, AND THIS ONE IS REALLY GOOD.

GREAT CAMERA!!!

I was looking for this item,"Sony Cyber-Short DSC-T900,every where,and i found it thanks to Amazom.com.Brand new and good price.Thank You!!!!

I love my new camera. It has nice features and the picture quality is just AMAZING. It's as if it were an SLR camera. I can take it anywhere with me and take pictures fast. The battery doesn't last more than 3 hours but other than that, i'm glad i choose this camera.

This camera is awesome! And it came ahead of the scheduled date. No problems whatsoever - smooth transaction!

Love the camera and all its features - it has several that were not mentioned in the description. Easy to use, very user-friendly, takes great pictures, small - everything I wanted in a camera right now! And I especially love the 3.5" touchscreen and the bright red color!

I have two other Sony digital cameras (older models) and love them all!

So I've been owned this camera for only a little bit over a year and then it suddenly broke down few days ago without causes. The buttons on top of the camera, which helps you turn on/off, zoom in/out, review pictures and switch modes are all shut down at once. I don't know what's going on and then contact the sony online customer service which ask me to ship back the camera to have a further check up in their factory store. Unfortunately, my warranty just expired by 5 days so I have to pay at least 141 as a flat rate excluding other serious hardware problems. However, I will not ship this product back and have it fixed, which indirectly putting more money into sony's pocket! The ridiculous price for the repairing can buy me a brand new camera if I add few more bucks and it's not even guarantee that the camera will be completely fixed by that price. I am very disappointed at the duration of the camera, which only last one year and will never buy sony ever again. I hate to say this, but sony is way too sensitive and expensive for the quality and duration of its cameras though the picture quality and format are pretty good AS LONG AS it doesn't break. Once it breaks it's just a piece of rotten metal sits there occupying space and evokes frustration on its short life.
