Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Silver)
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Silver) incorporates an impressive range of high tech features including a 4x zoom Carl Zeiss lens that utilizes Sony's acclaimed SteadyShot image stabilization, 10.1 megapixels of image resolution for astounding photo detail, and a enormous 3.5'' widescreen touch-panel LCD that fills the camera back - all in a sleek, ultra-compact camera body. The camera includes many of Sony's exclusive innovative technologies like Face Detection-2, Smile Shutter, in-camera retouching, D-range optimization and HD (high definition) output to expand the possibilities of digital photography, while making the camera extremely easy to use for photographers at any skill level.
The Cyber-shot DSC-T700 also incorporates Sony's intelligent scene recognition (iSCN) that allows the camera to analyze shooting conditions and automatically select the optimal settings for the best photo results. The movie mode provides broadcast quality video clips, and allows users to replace their camcorder with this compact unit since the DSC-T700 allows for zoom to be used while recording. And, the in-camera retouching tools and included software package provide for all of the finishing touches needed for optimal images and video clips that express your individuality through your pictures.
- Sleek, Ultra-slim Design
- The ultra-slim design of the DSC-T700 easily slips into your pocket, or handbag, while the styling is so clean and sharp that you won't want to keep it there, additionally, the sliding lens cover assure that the camera lens will always be clean and ready to shoot
- 10.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD
- The advanced Super HAD (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD is specially designed to allow more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity while reducing noise, so your images will look gorgeous - even when taken under low light conditions. Furthermore, the high resolution ensures that your photo prints will look sharp, even at printouts of 20x30" in size
- Carl Zeiss 4X Optical Zoom Lens
- The world renowned quality of the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens ensures that your images will be sharply focused while the 4x zoom range ensures that you will be able to obtain intimate images without disturbing the scene. The optical zoom is also available while the camera is shooting video - making the T700 an excellent camcorder replacement. Moreover, the macro and magnifying glass modes are provided for super-sharp close-ups and miniature hobby photography
- Super SteadyShot Optical Image Stabilization
- Sony's exclusive Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization combined with a high sensitivity (ISO 3200) means that the DSC-T300 compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood, plus Sony Clear RAW Noise Reduction reduces the picture noise that can ruin low-light or high ISO shots
- 9-Point Auto Focus
- The DSC-T700 can measure auto-focus at 9 points over the image, giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image, and place your subjects off of the center of the image, yielding a more interesting composition
- Smart Zoom
- The Cyber-shot DSC-T700 intelligently "crops into" the central portion of interest in your photo without sacrificing full CCD resolution - avoiding the image degradation of digital zooms
- Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN)
- When using Sony's exclusive intelligent scene recognition (iSCN), the camera automatically select the optimal settings for the best photo results by automatically detecting up to five scenes, and choose the best setting for the situation. In the advanced iSCN mode, the camera will shoot using the user's settings and then will automatically step in and take a second shot with optimized settings. If the camera determines that the user's settings are best, then a second photo is not taken
- D-Range Optimization
- The exclusive Sony Bionz high-speed processing engine provides the T700 with D-range optimization that preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas
- Face Detection and Smile Shutter Mode
- Sony latest Face Detection technology recognizes up to 8 faces in a photo and automatically controls focus, exposure, color and flash to bring out the best in everyone. The Smile Shutter Mode helps you capture more smiles by shooting automatically when your subject laughs, smiles, even grins after the focus has been fixed. You select the person to watch and the expression to catch and the Face Detection system and intelligent Smile Shutter algorithm do the rest. Furthermore users can apply "child priority" or "adult priority" in smile shutter mode to capture photos only when the intended subjects smile
- MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
- The DSC-T700 can capture VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited only by the capacity of your media. The camera can also record standard quality and presentation quality videos for viewing on your computer screen or using video clips on web pages
- 4GB Built-in Memory and Removable Memory
- With 4GB of built in memory, the DSC-T700 allows you to shoot up to 40,000 VGA photos without a flash memory card so you can always get your shot even if you forgot your card. You can easily transfer your images from camera memory to optional Memory Stick Duo media, upload shots to your computer or make prints on your digital printer. The camera also accepts high speed, and high capacity Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo cards that are available in capacities of 16GB and greater
- 3.5" Xtra Fine LCD Touch-Screen Displays
- The huge 3.5" 921K pixel LCD displays photos in superb clarity and natural color, while the touch-panel interface of the LCD replaces small buttons with simple on-screen icons and a user-friendly interface that make camera operation faster and simpler

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Silver):
For a Point & Shoot it has alot going for it, pictures have been great in most applications. I found the stock battery lacking, requiring you to buy a upgrade battery if you want certain features and longer battery life. This should not be the case considering the cost of this camera. - A big A+ Plus is the 4GB of Memory without any Memory card installed.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Silver):
The Sony T700 is a great camera, with too many features to list. We were really impressed by the excellent picture quality, just as good as our Sony DSLR, and the 3.5in touchscreen is just way too cool. The internal 4G memory is perfect and you don't have to keep up with those little cards. I highly recommend the T700 for anyone looking for a camera that fits in your pocket/purse without losing any of the quality of a DSLR.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Silver):
Great camera. Picture is amazing. Only complaint, if I had to give one, would be that the touchscreen gets all dirty very quickly. Make sure you buy an appropriate cleaning cloth as the company does not supply one.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Silver):
OK, I did the research before I bought this camera so I knew where its weak points were. This review will confirm what you will probably read elsewhere. The camera's construction is solid. Even the front slider that covers the viewfinder and lens feels sturdy and it feels heavy for its size (not too heavy, but heavier than you'd expect). As others have said, the low light portrait setting didn't work at all. I got much better portraits using the Auto setting. The video quality was acceptable outside, but pixelated indoors. The touch screen interface was not as intuitive as I expected. Changing the shooting mode includes knowing which icon to touch, then you select an alternate mode, then click "OK." The pictures can be unbelievable (and I also own a Canon Digital Rebel XT) but they can also be horrible. So you take your chances. There is also a delay from the time you press the trigger and the picture is taken...not good if you have small children like I do...I've missed a few shots already. Also, the red-eye reduction (quick flash before the "real" flash) also confuses my kids (they think I already took the picture and start to walk away). They're used to the digital SLR that takes the shot immediately. The screen is awesome...it's like a little widescreen HD monitor. I take my pictures in 16:9 ratio so I get widescreen, but can crop to any size.
All-in-all, I would recommend this camera for its size (in case you're trying to get a sense of the size, it's about the size of a deck of playing cards) and as a higher end point and shoot in addition to another, larger camera.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Silver):
My brother had a Sony DSC T70 and I was impressed, so when I saw this latest version, I wanted it. Strong points for me are the large touch screen and the 4GB internal memory. I should never have to buy a memory stick. The photos I have taken so far are superb. The only ones that are subpar are indoor with the subjects farther than the recommended distance for flash. Be sure to buy an extra battery as I did since the large screen is a bit power hungry. My wife doesn't like cleaning the fingerprints, but that is expected with a touchscreen. I would recommend for anyone that is interested in buying a compact, slim camera which does not compromise on quality.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Silver):
I baught this camera right before leaving for my vacation. Took around 500 pics with not having to worry about memory stick being filled up. On board 4gb memory is great for 1500 pics at 5MP. Colors are awesome but need appropriate light(may be i am still learning on how to use it). I left it on auto red eye, alot of good pics have caught red eye. Camera captures great details. Smile detector is cool. The way it is dividing the recent pics is great too. On screen controls work great with the tool provided with the camera. All in all it is a sleek gear.:)

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Silver):
[...] no problems at all. The Camera has all the special features you could hope for and the storage of pictures in the internal library is amazing. It's so compact but has a little weight to it due to the steel construction. The picture quality is outstanding even indoors and in low lighting. The one thing you have to become aware of is keeping your finger out of the way of the lens as it is so close to the corner.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Silver):
My wife loves it. She really enjoys her photography, but she doesn't always carry all of her professional equipment with her. This camera is so small and easy to carry, as well as having a lot of professional features, it is a great 'in-between' from the really expensive stuff to the cheaper 'snap-shot' digital cameras. She uses this new camera I think more than her others.
