Sony CyberShot DSC-T7

Superb camera, so small and yet extremely effective. The size and quality surprise all who see it. With a 1Gb memory card it is so useful, storing nearly 1500 'ordinary' snaps. Now, can I justify an upgrade to the T9?

Everyone who sees my Sony CyberShot DSC-T7 digital camera says "Wow, it is small, but takes good quality pictures". How easy it is to use is amazing and putting the pictures on to my computer is so easy. Just what I need. I would not swap my camera for the world, I like it that much.

I am on my second Sony CyberShot DSC-T7 digital camera. The first was damaged by a tap (yes it really was a tap) to the LCD screen which was destroyed. As the T7 has no view finder, the camera was useless, even though is still actually took pictures!

On the positive side, this little camera is ideal for keeping in the car or in your pocket. Make sure it's in a protective case though.

I bought the Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 digital camera to downsize from a Kodak SLR 5.1MP, and I was disappointed when I got this camera, as the picture quality was no way near as good as the Kodak camera, even though the pixel size was the same. I am now selling this camera and going back to Kodak (V550).

I wanted a new digital camera that was both easy to use and feminine. Although the Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 digital camera is of course unisex, I very much loved how thin the camera actually is. It is 1cm thick and 9cm wide, with a large screen and very few buttons, making the use very easy.

Through my experience with digital cameras, I have previously found it very difficult to store pictures or videos on the camera. In addition, I always looked for a camera that I was able to connect to my computer with easy instructions, and get the pictures right away. The program supplied with this camera to view the pictures or videos on the computer is wonderful, and very helpful.

The pictures do not take a lot of space on the computer, and there are plenty of options in regard to the size and quality of the pictures that are to be viewed on the computer. Also, the camera can be connected to a television screen in order to view videos or pictures on the screen, with a lovely effect.

This camera has 5.1 mega pixels, which is the most that a digital camera of its size or screen usually has. There are other cameras with many more pixels, but once you use this camera you can see how good the quality of the picture is, and no further mega pixels are desired.

The body and structure of this camera is very sturdy, but like all fragile objects, care must be taken when using this device so that you won't damage it. There are multiple accessories that come with the camera, and other accessories that can be bought after or before purchasing the actual camera.

The only negative aspect of this camera is how little its battery lasts. When charging the battery, never take it out of the charger unless it has finished charging and the light has turned off, or else the battery will become weaker as time passes. from the very beginning though the battery is quite weak.

Overall, this camera is a beautiful slim modern camera, and if your not patient enough to wait for pictures to develop, or you hate squinting to see the pictures on a small screen, this camera is right for you. It is small enough to fit in your purse without a bulge, or maybe even your wallet. It's large screen and simple buttons enable the user to manipulate the camera to a large extent, for full and enjoyable usage.

The Sony Cybershot digital camera takes different amounts of photos. Make sure, if you want more memory, to buy the correct memory stick. It is a PRO DUO stick. I bought a 512MB, but I am yet to find out how many that can store.

There are 5.1 mega pixels, and this is ample if you just want a camera for holidays.

It comes with a nice stand which you can then screw the camera down on, which is very useful when connecting the camera to the computer.

The software that comes with the camera is just as easy as using the camera.

All in all, I recommend this camera, and it's very nice and stylish.

The Sony CyberShot DSC-T7 is a very nice little camera! It fits into your pocket very easily, and is about the same size as a wallet, and is very light. You do lose some features since it is so small. For example the battery has to be taken out to recharge it and there is no automatic lens cover on the camera. This can be a bit of a pain at times. If you have it loose in your pocket, you can be pretty sure that the lens cover will come undone and take some interesting pictures of darkness, and also use the battery up. Otherwise it has a brilliant LCD screen on the back, and it is very easy to use.

I have owned this Sony CyberShot DSC-T7 digital camera for 6 days now. I was a bit on the edge about buying this camera in the first place knowing that it would not be as good quality as my old Nikon Coolpix E880. I wanted this camera for its size, as I was tired of carrying a bulky camera around with me all the time on holiday. I decided to buy this camera after a lot of thought also because of its price tag, a penny short of £300. I have now had time to test this camera, and I can say that it is excellent. The 2.5" LCD screen looks massive on this small screen, and picture quality is excellent in well lit environments. On the down side, I think the battery could last a bit longer, lasting only an hour or so when shooting pics. The feature I like most on this camera is the choice of quality for your pictures. You can choose to have photos taken in 5.0M, 3:3, 3.0M, 1.0M and VGA. Obviously the lower quality you have the smaller and less detailed the pictures are going to be, but the less space they will take up on your memory card, and therefore the more pictures you can get on the memory card in the chosen quality. I use 5.0M for normal photos, of which I can get 92 on my 256MB Memory Stick PRO Duo, plus I also use VGA for taking pictures of eBay items, of which I can get 1500 odd on my 256MB Memory Stick PRO Duo. I also like the battery indicator as it shows you approx. how much time you have left remaining on the battery using the selected feature (for example, your battery will last longer looking at pictures you have taken rather than actually taking the pictures). On another bad note, this camera is basically useless at dark indoor events such as partys etc due to the small flash.

Overall, I would say this is a good camera for anyone who wants one to use casually, but if you are a keen photographer and want to get the best pictures in all conditions, I would go with something bigger, with a better zoom and a bigger flash.
