Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 review

Slim, sexy and so touchable...

Sharp, colourful and well-exposed images ; Excellent metal body and a good quality of manufacture ; Good value

No optical viewfinder

This is a camera for your mum. It's a point-and-shoot job so don't go looking for any manual modes or any clever stuff

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T50 Digital Camera Review

Make use of the high sensitivity settings to record movies in light as dim as 10 lux (approx. 1.3 EV) – you can even use the optical zoom to capture exactly what you want. Use the LCD touch panel during movie playback to start, stop, forward and rewind...

The Sony Cyber-shot T50 is a fantastic compact camera with a generous 56MB internal memory and impressive STAMINA battery technology that allows you to shoot continuously for over 3 hours. A fantastic all-rounder.

Sony Cyber-shot T50

T is for touch screen with this new high tech offering.

The touch screen is a new innovation for Sony and the quality of images just about justifies the higher than average price. its a shame about the lack of manual features.

There was a time when James Bond could whip out a gadget and the world would gasp in awe. These days it takes more to impress... a lot more. Perhaps that's why this stylish compact from Sony fails to get the juices flowing

Sony DSC T50

What makes the Sony DSC T50 different from other digital cameras is its large, touch LCD screen. This helps to keep all buttons and dials to a minimum, accentuating the design and style of the camera.

Picture quality ; Image stabilisation ; Large internal memory ; Touch screen ; Large 3" LCD screen ; Style and design

Red eye

"As pocket sized digital cameras go the Sony DSC T50 is one of the best. A lot of people will be attracted by the touch LCD screen, but there are many other plus points that should not be overlooked. These include picture quality, build quality and...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50

This is a camera for your mum. It's a point-and-shoot job so don't go looking for any manual modes or any clever stuff. The movie mode works well and the MultiBurst feature offers a halfway house between stills and video. The Sony DSC-T50 is as brainy...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50

Slim and sexy, the Cyber-shot DSC-T50 has oodles of style and takes decent shots.

Beautiful 3-inch touch screen LCD. Wonderful design. Very good performance. Large text and on-screen buttons make it easy to navigate through menus.

A bit pricey. Some images too noisy. Lousy burst mode. No glass viewfinder.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T50 review

Lately, it seems as if Sony is putting out a new T-series camera every other week. The newest addition to this hip line of snapshooters is the Cyber Shot DSC-T50. Like the T30, it features a 7.2-megapixel CCD sensor; optical image stabilization; a 3X...

Optical image stabilization; solid image quality; 58MB internal memory.

Slow f/3.5 maximum aperture; too reliant on touch screen.

The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T50 keeps the better features of the DSC-T30, but adds a touch screen interface we could've lived without.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 keeps the better features of the DSC-T30, but adds a touchscreen interface we could've lived without.

Optical image stabilisation ; Solid image quality ; 58MB internal memory

Slow F3.5 maximum aperture ; Too reliant on touchscreen

If you like its touchscreen interface, then Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-T50 is a great choice in a pocket camera. If you'd rather stick with time-tested, old-fashion controls, then Sony's DSC-T30 offers everything this camera does and is just as great a...
