Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T33

Viewfinder
The only viewfinder on this camera is the huge 2.5-inch LCD screen. There is no real image optical viewfinder.

LCD Screen
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T33 has a 2.5-inch Clear Photo LCD that takes up nearly two-thirds of the back of the camera. The LCD claims to have improved visibility in all lighting situations, whether dark or bright. It uses 230,000 pixels to produce a clear image. The LCD functions as a viewfinder also, as there is no real image optical viewfinder.

Flash
By pushing the top button of the four-way dial, the user can change flash modes easily. The following options are available: Auto, On, Off, Slow Synchro, and Red-Eye Reduction. The flash has an incredible range, reaching from 10 cm. to 6 m. By comparison, most compact cameras contain fixed flash units that extend 10-12 feet, so approximately 18 feet is quite impressive.

Zoom Lens
The T33 is equipped with a built-in 3x optical zoom lens. The Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens measures from 6.7-20.1mm, which is equivalent to 38-114mm in 35mm format. When the camera turns on, a built-in lens cover snaps open. However, its lens is non-protruding, maintaining the T33’s slim profile. If the 3x zoom is not enough, there is a 2x digital zoom and a 4x ‘Smart Zoom,’ as Sony calls it. There aren’t many Smart aspects to digital zoom. It only compromises the picture, making it pixilated and unworthy to print or show.
