Sony Cybershot DSC-T7

The remarkably tiny Sony Cybershot DSC-T7 packs a whopping 5.1 megapixels literally into the palm of your hand. Thanks to a highly efficient design, the Sony Cyber-shot T7 is just over a third-of-an inch, making it Sony's thinnest, fully-featured model yet. Though small in stature, the camera packs a powerful punch. It has a 2.5-inch hybrid LCD screen, covering about two-thirds of the back of the digital camera, which is perfectly sized for framing, displaying and sharing pictures.

This ultra-compact camera represents a milestone in ingenious design, said Hiro Takahashi, vice president for digital imaging products at Sony Electronics. Thin is the theme, but this camera is absolutely bursting with great picture quality and style. The Cybershot T7 is a must-have camera for the fashion-forward crowd.

Steve's Digicams have posted their Cybershot DSC-T7 review today of the Sony T7. Here's a quotation-

"If you're in need of a super-compact digicam that captures high resolution images, the SONY CyberShot T7 or its T5 and T33 siblings could be just the ticket. With 5-megapixel imagers, terrific image quality, small size, light weight and good-looks, Sony produced a trio of high-quality go anywhere cameras for recording your vacation travels and outdoor activities. They are less successful at capturing indoor family events because of their limited flash range. Because they so equal in quality, performance and features, it seems that Sony is conducting market research with real products, an expensive proposition for them and somewhat of a dilemma for you; how do you choose?"
