Digital Camera Review

Apr 20, 2007 - By Emily Raymond
2.2 The freshest digital camera in Sony’s T-series lineup comes with a host of new features including face detection, high-definition output, and a Bionz image processor that was originally implemented in Sony’s DSLR-A100. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100 has 8.1 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom lens in a tiny metal body that is as much of a fashion accessory as a camera. The new T100 will retail for $399.

Conclusion
The point-and-shoot market is saturated with 7-megapixel slim cameras that have 3x optical zoom lenses and hardly any manual capability. Enter the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100, which seems to one-up the competition on just about everything. The slim fashionable camera has 8.1 megapixels and a 5x optical zoom lens with image stabilization. Its 3-inch screen can be seen from just about any angle, and it has a movie mode that utilizes the optical zoom and allows some manual control. It packs in all kinds of features like high-definition viewing, face detection auto focus, wide ISO range, and slide shows with music. The model at the show was preproduction, so its specs and menus aren’t finalized. We look forward to fully testing and reviewing the T10 when everything is finalized in a month or two. On first review, the T100 indicates that it’s definitely worth a double-take. If it can back up its solid feature set with solid imaging capability, then it’s worth the $399.
