Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Take your best shot with the super-slim Cybershot DSC-T50. Powerful, yet small enough to carry in your pocket, this ultra-compact 7.2-megapixel camera is doubly effective at reducing blur. Share your photos as slide shows set to music with family and friends on the huge 3.0-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus screen. Featuring Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization and high ISO sensitivity, the DSC-T50 captures beautiful shots without a flash where a flash is not permitted or might disrupt the mood. The DSC-T50 also comes equipped with a precision Carl Zeiss 3x optical/2x digital zoom lens and 56MB internal memory for capturing images without a flash memory card. The Sony Cybershot DSC-T50 is available in three fashionable colors: black, silver, and red.

High-Tech, Super-Slim Styling
The DSC-T50 comes in an ultra-compact case that expresses your personal style in a choice of three designer colors, matte silver, sleek black, or blazing red. It's also small enough to stay close at hand anywhere you roam.

7.2-Megapixel Super HAD CCD
Another step up in megapixel performance gives you greater detail for making large prints or cropping in tightly on your subject. With the advanced Sony Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design, more light passes to each pixel for increased sensitivity and reduced noise.

Huge 3.0-Inch Clear Photo LCD Plus Screen
It's an amazingly big screen for such a small, slim-line camera--styled to fit flush against the camera back for a clean-line look, with bright Clear Photo LCD Plus design and touch-screen operation that make it easier to adjust camera menus, set up shots, and share results even in bright sunlight.

Slide Show with Select Music Playback
The DSC-T50 lets you view in-camera images in Slide Show sequence, with one-button operation, selectable transition effects, and up to four music background tracks that make it more entertaining to share your memories with family and friends. You can even use supplied Picture Package Music Transfer software to add your own favorite music.

Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization
The Sony Super SteadyShot system detects camera movement and sends correcting signals to a stabilization lens to prevent image blur and reduce the effect of camera shake--an advantage when shooting with such a small camera.

Higher Sensitivity
Because flash can sometimes change the mood, the DSC-T50 provides high sensitivity (ISO 1000) for excellent low-light shots at higher shutter speed and for capturing images in museums or religious sites where flash may not be permitted. The Sony Clear RAW Noise Reduction system also counters the picture noise traditionally associated with high ISO.

Carl Zeiss 3x Optical/2x Precision Digital Zoom
With 56MB internal memory, the DSC-T50 allows you to shoot photos without a flash memory card so you can always get your shot even if you forgot your card. You can easily transfer your images from camera memory to optional Memory Stick Duo media, upload shots to your computer, or make prints on your digital printer.

Stamina Power
A supplied NP-FR1 InfoLithium rechargeable battery lets you shoot up to 400 pictures on a full charge, recharges quickly and easily, and shows you about how much shooting time remains.

14x Smart Zoom Feature (at VGA Resolution)
The CybershotDSC-T50 intelligently "crops into" the central portion of interest in your photo without sacrificing full CCD resolution--avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.

Real Imaging Processor LSI
To improve camera response and extend battery life, the Sony Real Imaging Processor LSI (Large Scale Integrated) circuit decreases shutter lag, improves picture quality, and clarity, and increases battery stamina.

MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
The DSC-T50 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio-video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.

Picture Motion Browser Software
Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize, and search photos on your PC, and provides a convenient map view function to sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map by using an optional GPS unit.

What's in the Box
Sony Cybershot T50 digital camera, rechargeable InfoLithium battery (NPFR1), battery charger (BC-CS3), AV/USB, DC-in multi-connector cable, wrist strap, paint pen stylus, software CD-ROM (NOTE: No Memory Stick media or adapters are included.)

4.0 out of 5 stars great ultracompact, but..., January 1, 2007

This review is from: Sony Cybershot DSC-T50 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver) (Electronics)

pros:
1. incredibly small camera with nonextending lens even at full zoom.
2. large 3" lcd.
3. motion correction.
4. price has now dropped $30 in <1 month vs. when I bought it at $399

cons:
1. white spots appear on some (~5%) of pictures taken with the flash, which is almost all indoor shots. very distracting, and can ruin otherwise great pictures. google white spot and sony t camera series for more details. sony website claims dust particles in air interfere with flash, which is quite strong, but it's a glitch all the same to me.
2. red eye - bad, but on par with other small digital cameras.



Update: after using this camera for 2+ months and >500 pictures, I am disappointed in quality. despite the impressive specs, which include 400+ picture battery life and 570+ pictures using a 2gb pro duo card, the red eye is present on virtually all flash shots, which means all indoor shots. I think it has to do with the ultracompact design and how closely the flash and the lens are both tucked into the upper left hand corner. And the white spots remain distracting. This is much worse than with my old camera - overall, I prefer pictures taken with my 4MB Canon powershot S410. I would now rate this camera as merely 2-3 stars.

This review is from: Sony Cybershot DSC-T50 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver) (Electronics)

This has to be one of the most versatile compact cameras ever. The 3" display is awesome. It makes it very easy to frame subject and also for editing & modifying pictures. With this one, I own three digital cameras and by far, this is the most convenient and easy to use. The prompts in the menu are very logical and easy to follow. The movie feature is also awesome. The sound quality is the best I've seen in any camera this size.

Very impressed!!!
