Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1

Connectivity
Software (6.0)
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 comes with Pixel ImageMixer Software for Sony v1.5 for image editing via personal computer. It runs on both Macintosh and Windows supported platforms, and allows the user to edit, crop, resize, and control the specifics of captured images.

Jacks, ports, plugs (4.0)
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 has a USB terminal located on the base of the camera body, and is intended for USB Cradle use. The MemoryStick Duo Media/MemoryStick Duo PRO Media stick port is located on the bottom of the camera body underneath a port cover that can be pushed towards the camera’s back to access both battery and memory card. Unfortunately, this camera doesn’t have a tripod mount. This will probably not affect the average user, but makes low light shots difficult.

Direct Print Options (6.0)
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 is capable of printing directly, allowing the user to forgo the image software that is included with the camera. However, the printer that is used must be formatted for the DPOF standard used by the camera. Not all printers will have this format or option, so choose carefully and with consideration.

Memory (5.5)
A 32MB Sony MemoryStick is included. Unlike other memory sticks and cards, which can be used universally between digital cameras and camcorders regardless of brand affiliation, the Sony MemoryStick can only be used with Sony products.

Other Features (6.0)
Video Capture Settings
The audio, first and foremost, isn’t the best, although the likelihood that audio captured on a digital camera primarily meant for point-and-shoot users would be good is pretty small. However, this slight disadvantage is definitely overcome when the user considers the fact that this camera is capable of recording in a full screen 640 x 480 image format at an incredibly impressive 30 frames per second. This puts it above and beyond most point-and-shoot cameras and many hybrid cameras within its price range, especially when this feature is considered with all of the camera’s other advantages.
