Product Description
Remarkably pocketable, Sony's DSC-T5 packs 5 Megapixel resolution and a 3X optical zoom in a size about that of a credit card, and barely 7/8" thin. Available in September, the DSC-T5 is Sony's newest combination of compact size and no-compromise image quality, and it redefines sharing opportunities with its enormous 2.5" LCD display. To minimize the thickness common to high resolution zoom cameras, the Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 3X optical zoom lens is inside the camera, and never has to extend forward to capture a shot. Because the lens is always ready to go, start-up is just 0.9 second, helping the DSC-T5 capture life's moments as they happen. Sony's Real Imaging Processor also speeds up camera functions - shot to shot time is just 1 second, and a 9 full resolution shots can be captured at 1.4 fps.
More than just fast, the DSC-T1 is accurate - 5 area multi-point AF and multi-pattern AE optimize focus and exposure even in challenging lighting. With 32MB internal memory, you're always ready to capture life's moments. And when you're ready for movie clips, Sony's MPEG VX Fine mode captures full screen video clips with sound at 30fps (requires Memory Stick(R) PRO Duo media). But it's after the shot that the DSC-T5 really shines - the 2.5" Clear Photo LCD makes it easy to share images right away. Add the optional CSS-TNA Cyber-shot(R) Station for convenient battery charging and USB image transfer.
Supplied Accessories: InfoLithium(R) NP-FT1 Battery, BC-CS3 external battery charger, AV/USB multi-connector cable, wrist strap, CD-ROM 49 Segment Multi-pattern measuring exposure system and Spot meter modes 4 Mode electronic-flash (Auto/On/Off/Slow Synchro), TTL Pre-flash metering, red-eye reduction selectable in all modes Auto White Balance with 6 selectable presets (Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Fluorescent, Incandescent and Flash) Scene Mode with 10 selectable presets

Super Cute but that is about it............2007-08-04
I purchased this camera about a year ago at Best Buy. I am not much into taking pictures but I have two little ones and everyone was nagging me to take more so I got this camera after very little research. It is very stylish and super small and I do take it everywhere. I found that my finger gets in the way when I take a picture and the front piece slides up and shuts the camera off. The camera does take good quality pictures when I can get a picture. Not sure if it is just my camera or all but the shutter delay from the time I depress the button is 15 SECONDS!!! Anyone with small children knows that you will miss many cute smiles with that long of a delay. For the price it is now, it is a good camera, I paid 350.00 and I am wishing that I waited and purchased the Nikon D40 which is what I am going to get soon.
Perfect!.......2007-04-14
I've had this digital camera for almost a year. It's the fourth camera I've owned. I spent quite some time searching for a compact camera that I could carry everywhere. Being an amateur photographer (and mostly taking pictures for myself and not others), I didn't want to lug around an extra bag just for my camera. It fits discreetly in your pocket or a small purse (for formal nights out). The size and weight of this camera is its best feature, and this carries through to the newer generations of this camera, too.
This has been the perfect camera for everything from selling items on-line to landscape scenery. My pictures have always turned out beautifully, with wonderful color and crispness. I have discovered that the "automatic" lighting feature is not always the most ideal, but you can re-program just about anything on this camera.
It's really quite a good camera, and given its price these days with the newer generations out there, it's a steal.
Red eye! Poor dim-light photography!!.......2006-12-31
I own many Sony products, including a Sony Cybershot DSC-F717, which I love. However, I am very disappointed by this camera, the Sony Cybershot DSC-T5.
I bought the T5 for my mother and father as a present. It is small, lightweight, portable; easy to use; and stylish. It does take nice photos in brightly lit environments, especially outside.
However, after several months of use, a few problems have become consistently evident:
(1) There is HORRIBLE red-eye (and white-eye) artifact in MANY pictures. The so-called "red-eye reduction" setting does nothing.
(2) Dim-light photography is very grainy, with lots of noise. Night-time photography is impossible.
These problems are not unique to our camera... You will find many corroborating reviews above.
Overall, I am VERY disappointed in this camera, and wish I could exchange it for something else.
Do not buy this camera. Other reviewers suggest the T7 or T9 take much better pictures (and they are still small pocket-size cameras).
A steal at today's prices!.......2006-12-01
I simply love this camera. I have been using for over 1 year now with no issues or problems. However, you must learn to use the functions properly for optimum photo quality. Auto setting are great. Many of my photos look like professional portraits. Everywhere I go people want to check it out. Wouldn't trade for another. And I paid a high price when it first came out. So at today's prices it is WELL WORTH the money!
Great small camera--accessories add cost though.......2006-11-29
I had a Nikon Coolpix which was small but too big to shove into my pocket so I bought the Sony. I love that it's small, had to get used to making sure my fingers were not within the lense view. Extra battery and memory sticks will run up the cost (but that goes for any digital camera). It's easy to use since I'm not much of one for reading the instruction books yet have been able to figure things out fairly easily. I don't do movies so can't comment on that but straight photos turn out really well (which surprises me since I've always been a really lousy photographer). I like that I can carry it with me all the time, which I do. I do wrap the whole camera in a small cloth envelope so the LCD doesn't get scratched up. And I added a neck lanyard usually used for a computer flash key so I can wear the camera around my neck or wrap the strap around my hands just in case it slips out of my fingers--camera is so lightweight. The only complaint I have is that the shutter door, which slides effortlessly to turn on the camera, slides effortlessly even when you don't want it to. I've used up the battery many times while the camera was sitting in my pocket (so I always carry an extra battery with me). And extra plus is loading the pics onto the computer is a breeze (no extra software needed, just the cable that comes with the camera). There is still a slight delay between depressing the button to take a picture and when the camera actually takes the picture but it's not as bad as the Nikon. I assume the newer versions of this camera have only gotten better. Well worth the money (I just wish I could lock the shutter cover).
Product Description
Sony DSC-T7 5.1-megapixel camera brings super-compact size to a new level. The camera is 3/8 inches thin at its narrowest point and 5/8 inches thin at its widest. That's a stark contrast to its integrated 2.5-inch LCD display (that's among the largest size screens in this class). Images are sharp because Sony uses a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with 3x optical zoom. The innovative Real Imaging Processor in the DSC-T7 not only improves picture quality and clarity but also improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag, and improves battery stamina. With still and movie modes, and a special docking station to make charging and transferring images easier, this digital-camera is perfect for you and your family. Captures VGA (640 x 480) high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second) audio-video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. Video mail mode captures smaller file sizes suitable for email. Multi-mode electronic-flash Stores all images on Memory Stick(R) Duo media; captures VGA audio-video clips (length limited only by media) - Tested to support up to 1GB capacity Can transfer images to a Windows PC and/or a Macintosh computer Dimensions - 3 5/8 x 2 3/8 x 5/8 w/LCD Cover; 4.1 Ounces
Amazon.com Product Description
Sony's DSCT7 5.1-megapixel camera brings super-compact size to a new level. The camera is 3/8 inches thin at its narrowest point and 5/8 inches thin at its widest. Despite its small size, the camera still includes the quality features you've come to expect from Sony digital cameras, including a large, 2.5-inch LCD display, a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens with 3x optical zoom, and enough megapixels to help you capture detail for photo-quality prints up to 13 x 17 inches.
1/2.4-Inch 5.1-Megapixel Effective Super HAD CCD
Super HAD (Hole Accumulation Diode) CCDs provide excellent image quality by allowing more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity, and reducing noise.
 |
|
The T7's super-size 2.5-inch display is much larger than the 1.5-inch displays common to ultra-compact cameras. |
2.5-Inch Hybrid LCD Monitor
The enormous 2.5-inch LCD provides a high resolution view while shooting, with transmissive/reflective Hybrid design for extraordinary brightness in direct sunlight and large, easy to read menus. Unique in such a compact camera, this large screen makes it easy to share image playback with friends.
Clear Photo LCD
The DSCT7 includes Clear Photo LCD technology which provides higher resolution, contrast ratio and brightness. Images in the LCD will have up to a 40% improvement in color reproduction than previous models.
Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens
The Vario-Tessar lens is specially produced for compact cameras and provides rapid auto focus with appealing zoom range. Utilizing a highly transmissive optical grade prism, the lens is housed entirely inside the camera body, and does not need to extend for use.
 |
The Sony DSCT7 is a mere
5/8 inches thin. |
Super Compact Slim Body
The ultra-compact and thin size (9.8 millimeters) of the DSCT7 makes it the perfect camera to tuck in a pocket or purse for high-quality, high resolution photos almost anywhere.
Real Imaging Processor Technology
The innovative Real Imaging Processor in the DSCT7 not only improves picture quality and clarity but also improves camera response time, decreases shutter lag, and improves battery stamina.
 |
|
This compact body contains Sony's Real Imaging Processor, a Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens, a 5.1 MP CCD, and more. |
3x Optical/2x Digital/6x Total Zoom
3x Optical Zoom helps you frame your shots for better digital pictures. And Sony's Precision Digital Zoom provides an additional 2x magnification without the jagged edges of other designs, resulting in smoother images.
0 to 12x Smart Zoom Feature (Up to 12x at VGA Resolution)
Smart Zoom intelligently uses the full CCD to let you zoom into the portion of interest by cropping the image size, thus avoiding the image degradation of digital zooms.
14-Bit DxP A/D Conversion
Sony's 14-bit Digital Extended Processor captures the range between highlight and shadow with up to 16,384 values, for extended dynamic contrast and detail.
Magnifying Glass Mode
With its extraordinarily close focusing capability (1 centimeter) and oversized LCD, the DSCT7's Magnifying Glass mode can display images at over 3x actual size. This powerful capability opens up new possibilities in macro photography.
5-Area Multi-Point Autofocus
By evaluating 5 separate focus areas of the frame, Sony's Multi-Point AF system can intelligently focus on the subject and avoid mistakenly focusing on the background.
AF (Autofocus) Illuminator
Briefly illuminating the subject, in low or no-light conditions, the AF Illuminator helps establish a positive focus lock.
Multi-Pattern Measuring
Independently light-metering 49 points of the frame, Multi-Pattern Measuring establishes the optimum exposure, even when highlight and shadow isn't centered in the frame.
Memory Stick Duo Media
Digital. Powerful. Transportable. Memory Stick Duo media is compact, portable and rugged, connecting a variety of hardware and software applications.
Scene Selection Mode
With 10 Scene Modes, parameters can be matched to the shooting conditions. Choose from one of the following: Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Soft Snap, Landscape, Beach, Snow, Fireworks, High Speed Shutter, Candle, and Magnifying Glass.

MPEG Movie VX Fine Modes
Captures VGA (640 x 480) high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second) audio-video clips with length limited only by the capacity of the media. Video mail mode captures smaller file sizes suitable for email.
Pre-Flash Metering
With a momentary pre-flash, the camera illuminates the subject and sets exposure through the lens for accurate flash metering. Adjustable flash level and red-eye reduction ensure great flash shots.
Rechargeable InfoLithium Battery
Supplied NP-FE1 InfoLithium battery; Provides reliable power for continuous shooting, without memory effect of other battery types.
Cybershot Station Supplied
Placing the DSCT7 on the supplied Cybershot Station provides a quick and easy connection between the camera and a TV for easy viewing, or a USB supported computer for MPEG video and still image transfer.
Customer Reviews:
hello.......2007-03-09
The cameras is great. Good seller, fast shipping. Come with the box, new condition. I am satisfy with the product.
It's OK if you're not much into image quality.......2007-02-08
The thing is that it is not a very stable camera, hence it does not give you very stable shots, so many of your pics will be blured. Even those taken with a tripod. I am a pro photographer, and I would not recommend this camera. Yes, it's very thin, but is not worth the pics it takes...Seek for other model not so tiny if you're expecting better images.
Very nice camera!.......2007-01-31
I got this cam as a gift and it is very nice and sleek and easy to use!
The pictures are nice and it is light and easy to have it with you
everywhere.
Slick thing.......2007-01-05
This camera is so much good looking that you can afford to have a bad picture quality or bad power management.It's not for those who are really concerned about pixels and zooms.It's a camera for people on the go.
A great camera for the anti-tourist (and others who want a small camera!).......2006-12-04
Through most of the 1990s, I lived overseas in both Europe and Asia. Unfortunately, my number of photos from these times are limited to a handful as I hated looking like a "tourist" with my bulky camera! Nowadays, I no longer have to worry about that because of cameras like this one! I intially bought this T7 after using a friend's T1 and being impressed with the size of it. The T7 is obviously considerably smaller, which is even better!
I bought this camera right as they were coming out and paid well over $400 for it plus a 1GB Memory Stick Pro. Both are investments that even to this day (over a year later) I am very happy with. I have taken this camera just about everywhere and wherever I go people love to look at it. I can say I've probably sold at least a dozen of these to people that fell in love with the size of the camera and the quality of photos it takes.
As far as size, that is the biggest plus to it's advantage. It can fit anywhere. Even with the optional case that you can buy for it, it still easily fits in a trouser or jacket pocket, without even a noticable bulge.
As far as photo quality goes, as most of the reviews note, the camera is very limited when it comes to night time shots. I've found that these shots are often hit and miss as far as what you'll get, but for the size of the lens and the size of the flash, what can you expect? After shooting a few thousand photos with this camera, I know what will be a good and bad night shot, and with the playback feature, you can quickly see the quality of your photo and retake if needed. Is it perfect? No, but that's super tough in a camera this small.
Some reviews note the difficulty trying to take a photo while holding the camera still. I've never had issue with this, but I could see how it could be an issue, it's just never one either my wife (the primary user) or I have dealt with. I would venture that probably the vast majority of buyers of this camera will likewise not have a problem.
I've recorded more than a few .mpg movies with the camera and it surprisingly outperformed some of my bigger (and more expensive) point-and-shoot digital cameras. I have been very pleased with that.
Another drawback noted by many reviews is the LCD screen and the chance of breaking it. I put a plastic screen protector (the thin plastic sheet type held by static) on it as soon as I bought it and haven't had a problem. I've sat on the camera before (by accident, of course!) and have had it in luggage and the like, but have never had a problem.
The most significant drawback that I've had with the camera is that it can take more photos (esp with the 1GB card) than the battery will last. Buy a second battery and you'll be more than good, but it's just something to keep in mind.
I would highly recommend this camera for anyone who travels, or anyone who wants a camera to take quick photos. It can be carried anywhere and for the vast majority of shots, it's all that you need. I can say that we have many photos of our kids (and really good ones, too) that we would never had gotten if my wife didn't regularly carry this camera in her purse and diaper bag! I'm happy enough with it that I'm going to buy a second one for myself (especially now that the prices have dropped so much!) so that my wife can use our first one entirely for her own photography. I give it five stars and would definately recommend it to others.

I am not much into taking pictures but I have two little ones and everyone was nagging me to take more so I got this camera after very little research. It is very stylish and super small and I do take it everywhere. I found that my finger gets in the way when I take a picture and the front piece slides up and shuts the camera off. The camera does take good quality pictures when I can get a picture. Not sure if it is just my camera or all but the shutter delay from the time I depress the button is 15 SECONDS!!! Anyone with small children knows that you will miss many cute smiles with that long of a delay. For the price it is now, it is a good camera, I paid 350.00 and I am wishing that I waited and purchased the Nikon D40 which is what I am going to get soon.
Perfect!.......2007-04-14
I've had this digital camera for almost a year. It's the fourth camera I've owned. I spent quite some time searching for a compact camera that I could carry everywhere. Being an amateur photographer (and mostly taking pictures for myself and not others), I didn't want to lug around an extra bag just for my camera. It fits discreetly in your pocket or a small purse (for formal nights out). The size and weight of this camera is its best feature, and this carries through to the newer generations of this camera, too.
This has been the perfect camera for everything from selling items on-line to landscape scenery. My pictures have always turned out beautifully, with wonderful color and crispness. I have discovered that the "automatic" lighting feature is not always the most ideal, but you can re-program just about anything on this camera.
It's really quite a good camera, and given its price these days with the newer generations out there, it's a steal.
Red eye! Poor dim-light photography!!.......2006-12-31
I own many Sony products, including a Sony Cybershot DSC-F717, which I love. However, I am very disappointed by this camera, the Sony Cybershot DSC-T5.
I bought the T5 for my mother and father as a present. It is small, lightweight, portable; easy to use; and stylish. It does take nice photos in brightly lit environments, especially outside.
However, after several months of use, a few problems have become consistently evident:
(1) There is HORRIBLE red-eye (and white-eye) artifact in MANY pictures. The so-called "red-eye reduction" setting does nothing.
(2) Dim-light photography is very grainy, with lots of noise. Night-time photography is impossible.
These problems are not unique to our camera... You will find many corroborating reviews above.
Overall, I am VERY disappointed in this camera, and wish I could exchange it for something else.
Do not buy this camera. Other reviewers suggest the T7 or T9 take much better pictures (and they are still small pocket-size cameras).
A steal at today's prices!.......2006-12-01
I simply love this camera. I have been using for over 1 year now with no issues or problems. However, you must learn to use the functions properly for optimum photo quality. Auto setting are great. Many of my photos look like professional portraits. Everywhere I go people want to check it out. Wouldn't trade for another. And I paid a high price when it first came out. So at today's prices it is WELL WORTH the money!
Great small camera--accessories add cost though.......2006-11-29
I had a Nikon Coolpix which was small but too big to shove into my pocket so I bought the Sony. I love that it's small, had to get used to making sure my fingers were not within the lense view. Extra battery and memory sticks will run up the cost (but that goes for any digital camera). It's easy to use since I'm not much of one for reading the instruction books yet have been able to figure things out fairly easily. I don't do movies so can't comment on that but straight photos turn out really well (which surprises me since I've always been a really lousy photographer). I like that I can carry it with me all the time, which I do. I do wrap the whole camera in a small cloth envelope so the LCD doesn't get scratched up. And I added a neck lanyard usually used for a computer flash key so I can wear the camera around my neck or wrap the strap around my hands just in case it slips out of my fingers--camera is so lightweight. The only complaint I have is that the shutter door, which slides effortlessly to turn on the camera, slides effortlessly even when you don't want it to. I've used up the battery many times while the camera was sitting in my pocket (so I always carry an extra battery with me). And extra plus is loading the pics onto the computer is a breeze (no extra software needed, just the cable that comes with the camera). There is still a slight delay between depressing the button to take a picture and when the camera actually takes the picture but it's not as bad as the Nikon. I assume the newer versions of this camera have only gotten better. Well worth the money (I just wish I could lock the shutter cover).

Product Description
Remarkably pocketable, Sony's DSC-T5 packs 5 Megapixel resolution and a 3X optical zoom in a size about that of a credit card, and barely 7/8" thin. Available in September, the DSC-T5 is Sony's newest combination of compact size and no-compromise image quality, and it redefines sharing opportunities with its enormous 2.5" LCD display. To minimize the thickness common to high resolution zoom cameras, the Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 3X optical zoom lens is inside the camera, and never has to extend forward to capture a shot. Because the lens is always ready to go, start-up is just 0.9 second, helping the DSC-T5 capture life's moments as they happen. Sony's Real Imaging Processor also speeds up camera functions - shot to shot time is just 1 second, and a 9 full resolution shots can be captured at 1.4 fps.
More than just fast, the DSC-T1 is accurate - 5 area multi-point AF and multi-pattern AE optimize focus and exposure even in challenging lighting. With 32MB internal memory, you're always ready to capture life's moments. And when you're ready for movie clips, Sony's MPEG VX Fine mode captures full screen video clips with sound at 30fps (requires Memory Stick(R) PRO Duo media). But it's after the shot that the DSC-T5 really shines - the 2.5" Clear Photo LCD makes it easy to share images right away. Add the optional CSS-TNA Cyber-shot(R) Station for convenient battery charging and USB image transfer.
Supplied Accessories: InfoLithium(R) NP-FT1 Battery, BC-CS3 external battery charger, AV/USB multi-connector cable, wrist strap, CD-ROM 49 Segment Multi-pattern measuring exposure system & Spot meter modes 4 Mode electronic-flash (Auto/On/Off/Slow Synchro), TTL Pre-flash metering, red-eye reduction selectable in all modes Auto White Balance - 6 selectable presets (Auto, Daylight, Cloudy, Fluorescent, Incandescent and Flash) Scene Mode - 10 selectable presets
