Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Red)
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Red) 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
- HD Video Output (Optional)

Then watch as your photos come alive, accompanied by your choice of visual effects and any of four preset musical selections stored in memory or your favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from PC to your camera for use as background music
- In-camera Retouching Tools
- Add creative effects to photos after you shoot and retouch and enhance your pictures on the go with in-camera editing functions such as Trimming, Red-eye Correction, Soft Focus, Unsharp Masking effects, and more. In addition, the camera lets you add artistic elements with the built-in Paint Pen, as well as more than 30 stamps and 15 types of picture frames. Plus the Multi-resizing function lets you change the aspect ratio of an image right in the camera, so you can adjust images as necessary

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Red):
I received this camera for Christmas and am not that happy with it. I was looking for a very, very compact camera, so this fit the bill in that respect. i liked the internal storage space idea and loved the high resolution screen. i had to weigh price with features. I thought it was a good value with all of the features it boasts. There are a lot of problems for the Mac user. If you own a Mac much of the functionality of the camera is lost (if this is incorrect, someone please review and state otherwise). Sony's Picture Motion Browser is incompatible with Macintosh. How Sony feels they can get away with this, I don't know, but they have always been very independent. I was aware of the fact that this software would not work with my Mac, but I was told by a Sony rep. that the purchase of iLife '08 would resolve this seemingly fixable problem. I purchased thinking this would be the only problem--that I'd have to do a little extra work in iPhoto to get the pictures back to the camera to make use of the onboard storage space--not the only drawback--see below.
Here are the problems:
1. Yes, the pictures I take on the Sony can be imported back to the camera in VGA format with some work in iPHoto '08 (only landscape pictures seem to work properly).
2. Pictures taken on other camera's will not rotate (if a portrait shot), thus not making use of the beautiful 3.5" LCD.
3. Does not have auto rotate if you turn the camera (my Canon's have it). You have to touch an icon on the screen. This should be a given on a camera that boasts a photo album feature.
4. The organizational features of the camera do not work once the pictures have been imported on a Mac and then imported back to the Sony. Very bizarre. You have the option of viewing your pictures by favorite, faces, folder and calendar. Very cool, but once the pictures come back to the Sony, all you get in the index section is little blue boxes instead of pictures. This makes for a real guessing game when trying to show off your pictures. And Sony does not guarantee that you can use the favorites, calendar and faces feature if the pictures were taken on another camera. Well, it seems even if the pictures were taken on this camera, uploaded to a Mac, changed to VGA size and re-imported to the camera, it doesn't recognize anything in terms of trying to organize your photos. Very annoying and an overwhelming problem for a camera that is capable of storing 40,000 VGA size photos.
5. Okay, problem #4 is the worst to me, but some of you may also be annoyed that the other cool little features are lost too once pictures have been re-imported from a Mac...scrapbook, editing, etc. Camera says file not recognized, or incompatible. These were icing on the cake features for me, but not a deal breaker.
6. The review of a picture immediately after the picture is taken doesn't appear very clear, though when you play it back by pressing the play button it may be very clear. I find this misleading as you might think you didn't take a clear picture when in fact you may have.
The good:
1. Very compact and sturdy. Excellent design. Kudos to Sony for aesthetics.
2. Lots of cool features for the price if you are a PC user.
3. Pictures are pretty good (low light are only ok) for a camera of this size.
4. Wonderful, large LCD that's very clear in all lighting.
5. The touchscreen is more responsive than professional review sites would have you believe. Also, I found the menu organization to be fine. After a few uses and playing around, I knew where everything was.
6. Pretty responsive for a small camera.
7. Battery life is not that great b/c of the LCD and the constant usage of it. Play it safe and buy the NP-FD1 (shows minutes remaining) battery as an extra.
All in all as a Mac user, I can only give this camera less than okay rating since I can't use most of the features. The value of the camera has decreased since I was hoping to get a lot of use out of the internal storage space and photo album features. I thought it would be a great way to tote my pictures. I don't really feel like putting my pictures on it now knowing that they will not be easy to locate once on the camera. If you are a PC user, hopefully the camera will live up to what you've read about it. If I had known what I now know about the camera and all of the incompatibility issues, I would not have purchased the camera. I would have purchased another Canon as they are the only camera I have purchased in the past. Mac users BEWARE!!!
