Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900

Product Tour
Overview
The 12.1 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot T900 packs a large 3.5-inch touch-screen display into a very small body. You slide down the front of the camera to reveal the 4x optical zoom lens, which automatically turns the camera on. Sony hasn't made any announcements about release date, but we don't expect it will be long before you can shell out $379 hard earned dollars for this update to the Sony T700.
 |
| The T900 is slim and sexy. |
Front
When closed the T900's front is made of of two brushed metal surfaces. You can slide the top one down to reveal the lens, flash and auto-focus assist lamp.
 |
| With the slide up the lens is protected. |
The camera will also turn itself on automatically, making it fast and easy to get ready for a shot. The lens sits at the far right, with the auto-focus assist lamp directly to the left of it and the flash right next to that.
 |
| Move the slide down to turn the camera on instantly. |
Back
The back of the Sony Cyber-shot T900 is easy to describe, it's one big screen. The 3.5-inch touchscreen is definitely amongst the larger ones you see on any camera, much less a diminutive point and shoot like this.
 |
| A 3.5-inch high resolution display is all you see on the back. |
Sides
The only feature found on the sides of the Sony Cyber-shot T900 is a lanyard loop on the right side. Looking at the camera from the side also points out just how thin the profile is at only 0.66 inches (16.3mm).
 |
 |
| Just a lanyard loop, we recommend you use it. | |
Top
On the top of the T900 you'll find the shutter button with a zoom control surrounding it. Just behind the shutter button is a switch that toggles between video and still capture. Directly to the left is either a speaker or microphone, we're not sure which. To the right is a power button, which you'll only really use when you want to turn the camera off without closing the front slider. Just behind it is a dedicated playback button.
 |
| Every physical button on the camera is on the top. |
Bottom
On the bottom of the Sony Cyber-shot T900 you'll find Sony's proprietary connector that does double duty for both data and A/V out right in the middle. To the right of it is the tripod mount, and to the left is the cover for the battery and memory card slots.
 |
| Oh Sony, when will you leave your proprietary port ways behind. |
