Front
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100 looks like a cell phone or other electronic device when the metal sliding door is closed. When the door is shut, there is a Sony logo on the right and a chrome vertical rectangle on the left with the Cyber-shot logo engraved into it. When the door slides down, the camera turns on and a few more features are revealed. At the right is the 5x optical zoom lens that looks like a squashed circle. The specs curve around the right edge of the tiny barrel: "3.5-4.4/ 5.8-29.0." The lens brand, Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar, is printed to the left of the lens. Above the branding is a circular auto focus assist lamp with a skinny flash unit to its left.  

Back
The 3-inch LCD screen takes up almost the entire back side. Above the LCD is a diagonal edge with the Sony logo printed at left and two buttons closer to the right: Power and Playback. Less than a half-inch of space on the right side of the back hosts a bunch of controls: the zoom control is at the top with a thumb divot just below it. The tiny Menu button sits almost centered in this space, and the multi-selector is below it. At the bottom is the Home button.

Left Side
The left side of the camera is completely featureless.
 

Right Side
The right side has a strap eyelet at the top and a compartment door that takes up nearly the rest of the space. The compartment houses the battery and memory card. The chrome Cyber-shot finger grip is located on the front edge of this side.   

Top
The top of the camera is covered with branding titles: "8.1 Megapixels, Super SteadyShot, DSC-T100." The chrome shutter release button is located on the right side. The back edge of the top slants downward to the back, but the power and playback buttons can be seen from here.  

Bottom
Among the bolts and seams on the bottom is the open multi-connector port on the left side and the tripod mount located just right of center. Directly in the center is the built-in speaker, which will be muffled when the camera is attached to a tripod.

    This professionally-geared ultrazoom offers some of the best color accuracy we've ever seen. It's a shame the other scores weren't quite so strong. Read full 16-part review

    Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ47

    Panasonic resists the urge to cram more megapixels and more focal length into their latest ultrazoom. The FZ47 instead focuses on image quality and features, resulting in an incredibly strong camera that we loved shooting with. Read full 16-part review
