Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-T700 is the beautiful new addition to the company's pocket-sized T line. Armed with a high-resolution 3.5" LCD touch screen, 4x optical zoom, and an impressive 4GB of internal memory, the T700 costs $399.99, and is an impressive camera on paper. While this 10.1-megapixel model is certainly easy on the eyes, its performance on our bevy of lab test wasn't always a pretty picture. Details on the T700's wins and losses follow.

Conclusion
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 is an example of a rather average camera, with a few sexy new features, wrapped up in a beautiful package with a high price tag. It has an beautiful high resolution 3.5-inch touch screen, a stylish, svelte body, and an excellent score on our color test. On the other hand, the touch screen is slow to respond and imprecise, in the majority of our tests it scored average or below average, and it retails for $400. If you want a camera that will draw appreciative ooohs and aaahs from onlookers, and will easily fit in any pocket, then the T700 may be the camera for you. However, you can find other cameras with superior performance for a fraction of the price.
