Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T5

At the beginning of the year, Sony announced that it would release its new models with bigger LCD screens, more resolution, and at least some internal memory. The company’s promises are materialized in the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T5, which offers all of those features in a sleek and skinny camera body. The T5 follows other Sony T-series digital cameras with its 0.8-inch thick body size and non-extending Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom lens. The Sony T5 has 5.1 megapixels on a 1/2.5-inch Super HAD CCD and offers six image sizes, including a 16:9-formatted aspect ratio to fit the wide screens of high-definition televisions. This Cyber-shot has a nicely sized 2.5-inch LCD screen with 230,000 pixels, which is roughly twice the resolution of its competition. 32 MB of internal memory is included, completing Sony’s triple-point promise. The T5 was announced in July and released in September 2005 at an initial retail price of $349.99.
