ConclusionSony T900 Comparison
The Sony T900 and Casio EX-FC100 are both very stylish cameras, but Sony’s attention to design and aesthetic is obvious. The T900 is sleek, slim and looks fantastic. It has a high-resolution 920,000-dot touch-screen LCD, and shoots 12-megapixel images. However, neither camera offers extensive photographic control (the Sony is so point-and-shoot oriented, it doesn’t even provide the ability to manually white balance). Both have issues with their control schemes too. The Casio has small buttons and a menu system that boots you out after every settings change. The Sony’s menu system is grossly over-simplified, with options that disappear for unexplained reasons, and the touch screen feel inaccurate and laggy.
For photographic quality, the advantage lies in Sony’s court. It has better color accuracy and resolution, as well as having one of the more effective image stabilization systems around. On the other hand, its images tend to be noisy, and the tiny lens has issues with distortion. For video, the color was more accurate on the Casio, but the sharpness was better on the Sony.
The Sony gets major points for its stylishness, and its amazing good looks are a major draw for some people. That said, lovers of the flashy and cool will also doubtlessly be impressed by shooting video at insane speeds, as only the Casio can offer. Both cameras have interface problems, but have enough of a ‘wow’ factor to pull buyers in.
