General Comments

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.
