Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Digital Camera (Gold):
The product (sony cybershot t700) came as expected from B&H. I got a great deal [...] I used the camera on a 2 week vacation to Hawaii and find it to be excellent, for the most part. It takes blurry photos occasionally, especially in low light. And I wish it had a view finder. Otherwise, I am truly impressed with the quality of the camera and the images it captures. I especially love the vivid screen, great for displaying photos in a compact way. I was weary about switching from my canon SD elph to this sony. After 2 weeks of consistent use, I have no regrets about my decision.
