ConclusionSony T900 Comparison
The Sony T900 is designed to be the sexiest camera on the block, and many of its features are aesthetically pleasing, if not always sensible. It’s remarkably slender, only 0.66 inches thick, to the Fujifilm’s 0.9 inches. It has a touch-screen based interface, and a gorgeous, 920,000-dot LCD. The lens is tiny, and tucked away in the upper right corner, where it doesn’t extend at all. The T900 is also lacking in many features, including manual controls and custom white balance, and suffers from a laggy touch-screen. It does have a better range of full resolution ISOs, but can’t get near the ISO 12,800 at reduced size that the Fujifilm offers.
In terms of performance, the Sony surpassed the Fuji for color accuracy, image stabilization, movie quality, and shot to shot speed. On the flip side, the Fuji had much lower image noise, as well as significantly better resolution. This was in part due to the small lens on the Sony, which had significant chromatic aberration and distortion problems, and a tendency to digitally oversharpen images too much.
The Sony feels more like a camera that you would want to be seen with. It’s stylish, sleek, but ultimately feels shallow. The interface is annoying, it lacks manual controls, and its lens isn’t what anyone would consider high-performance glass. If you want a sliver of a camera that will draw a bit of a crowd, and takes decent photos, the Sony won’t let you down. The Fujifilm, on the other hand, offers more control, and generally better image quality.
