Digital Camera Review

Another lean Cyber-shot T-model made its debut at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The DSC-T33 will go on sale in March for $450 (USD)—fifty bucks cheaper than its vanished predecessor, the Sony Cyber-shot T3. The T3 was announced last August, but never hit the market in the United States. Sony hopes to make it up with the Sony Cyber-shot T-33, which is nearly identical to the T3. Both cameras have 5.1 megapixels on their 1/2.4-inch CCDs. Both models share the same shooting options, 2.5-inch LCD, and 3x optical zoom lens. The only difference is the size.

Value
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T33 will be available in the United States and parts of Europe in March 2005 for a retail price of $450 (USD). This isn’t a conservative price for 5 megapixels, but Sony, as always, relies on the simple elegant style to attract consumers searching for style and appeal. At Sony, size matters. And the smaller the camera, the better. The street price will probably be at least fifty bucks cheaper, making this an affordable choice. The budget crowd may avoid this one, but fat-pocketed consumers will enjoy the T33 for its style and compact form.
