Remember the Essentials
Sufficient memory is not included. Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
When the folks at Sony designed the Sony Cyber-shot T90 Digital Camera they somehow managed to comfortably squeeze a 12.1 megapixel (1/2.3") Super HAD CCD imaging sensor and a Carl Zeiss-designed 4x (35 - 140 mm equivalent) power zoom into a sleekly designed brushed aluminum body that measures a mere 5/8" thick. As icing on the cake they tossed in 720p HD video capture with stereo sound. Are we having fun yet or what?
The camera's 3.0" Clear Photo LCD touch-screen display enables you to control all of the cameras functions by simply tapping on the menu screens, and there's an impressive selection of exposure and scene mode selections including an Easy Shooting Mode for those wishing to keep things nice and simple. There are also numerous in-camera retouching tools available for enhancing your pictures post-capture.
Still images can be captured at 8 levels of JPEG compression and video with stereo sound at 3 levels of image compression to best fit your needs. To further enhance your pictures, the Cyber-T90 has a PHOTOMUSIC feature, which combines music and a selection of visual effects into your still image slideshows and video clips.
For admiring your pictures on a grander scale, you can output images at sizes up to and exceeding 13x19", or view them in high-definition on a Sony BRAVIA or similarly compatible HDTV using the optional VMC-MHC2 HD output adapter cable.
The Sony Cyber-shot T90 is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which is good for about 200 images (or about 100 minutes of video), and along with 11MB of internal memory, records images onto Memory Stick PRO and Memory Stick DUO PRO (up to 16GB) media.
- 12.1 Megapixel Super HAD CCD Imaging Sensor
- Capture brilliantly sharp images for print sizes of up Super A3 and still have ample wiggle room to crop into your image files when you need to get in tighter than the zoom lens allowed at the time of image capture
- Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4x Power Zoom
- The Cyber-shot T90 features a 35 - 140 mm equivalent Carl Zeiss-designed power zoom lens. Containing 12 elements in 10 groups (with 4 aspheric surfaces), the T900 should is an ideal for capturing most all of your day-tripping activities
- 3.0" Clear Photo Touch-Screen LCD
- A bright 3.0" 230,000-dot touch-screen LCD allows you make all of your camera adjustments as well as compose and review your images with a minimal amount of squinting
- BIONZ Image Processor
- A Sony BIONZ image processor guarantees life-like color, improved shadow and highlight detail, along with quick start-up times and quick-to-respond camera performance
- Intelligent Auto Mode (iAuto)
- iAuto takes all of the guesswork out of selecting the best shooting mode by analyzing the scene and making all appropriate adjustments required to capture an optimized image, and it performs this little trick in less than 1/30th of a second. To accomplish this feat iAuto takes advantage of other T90 features including Scene Recognition, Face Recognition, and Optical SteadyShot
- Shoot Stills and Video
- The Cyber-shot T90 captures JPEG still images at several levels of compression, and video clips with sound (mono) at 3 levels of MPEG4 compression. In video mode you can capture up to 29 minutes of continuous shooting in 720p format (or up to 2GB)
- Automatic or Manual Scene Selections
- For choosing the best exposure parameters for each scene you capture the T90 offers you a choice of manually choosing from a selection of 14 exposure modes, 10 Scene modes or you can set the camera to Intelligent Scene mode (iSCN) and the camera will automatically select the best out of 8 auto Scene modes
- Face Detection and Smile Shutter
- To better guarantee optimized portraits the Cyber-shot T90 can detect up to 8 faces in a scene and program the camera to produce exposures optimized for clean skin tones and contrast levels. The camera's Smile Shutter feature prevents the camera from taking an exposure until it detects a smile on the primary face(s). There's also an Anti-Blink function that detect blinking eyes as you press the shutter button
- Sharp Images Even Under Low-light Conditions
- The T90 combines dual image stabilization technologies to better ensure sharp images. When set to SteadyShot mode, the camera quickly captures 2 images and combines the best elements of each into a single optimized photograph. When shooting under low-light conditions, the camera's High Sensitivity Mode boosts the sensor's ISO sensitivity levels up to 3200 to further guarantee sharp images regardless of lighting conditions
- In-Camera Retouching, Creative Painting, and Re-Sizing Tools
- The Cyber-shot T90 features a selection of retouching tools that allow you to perform a variety of post-capture image improvements including Trimming and Red-eye reduction, Soft Focus, Partial Color, Fisheye Lens, Cross Filter, Radial Blur, Retro, Happy Face, Unsharp Masking, and image re-sizing to best fit your output needs. The T90 also features a built-in Paint Pen as well as 30 stamps and 15 types of picture frames to further enhance your photographs
- Stamina Battery
- The camera's lithium-ion battery allows for up to 100 minutes of extended video capture or over 200 exposures-per-charge

Comments about Sony DSC-T90 Cyber-shot Digital Camera (Silver):
This thing blows any camera of similar size out of the water, 'nuff said.
Pull the front slide down and the camera is photo ready in less than three seconds, the shots are rather quick for a digital and the quality is super!
This camera was recommended to me and i would most definitely recommend it to anyone else asking for point-n-shoot camera advice!

Comments about Sony DSC-T90 Cyber-shot Digital Camera (Silver):
I use this camera professionally to take photos and videos for a webpage. I replaced the T77 for this one to get 2 more megapixels. Besides that, the results are almost the same. Quality for this purpose is very good and video image and sound are great. Not so great that at a certain point the touch screen will become uncleanable and fingertips will remain there forever, but still working, and the pressure of the finger in the screen icons, even when it's new, some times don't work properly, and you don't know if you should apply weak or strong pressure. The speed of the zoom is too fast.

Comments about Sony DSC-T90 Cyber-shot Digital Camera (Silver):
I use this camera mainly to take photos of my handmade jewelry. Even without a tri-pod it takes very clear (not blurry from a shaky hand) pictures, especially in the advanced macro mode. The advanced macro mode allows me to get extremely detailed images that are great for posting on my website.
I also use this camera for regular day-to-day events & activities.
Overall, this is a near perfect camera for my requirements.

Comments about Sony DSC-T90 Cyber-shot Digital Camera (Silver):
Just finished a 10-day bicycle tour of Europe using the camera. It is truly an amazing camera, and was always ready with absolutely no problems. The camera was easily stored in small pockets, and very simple to use one-handed on the fly. It had all the capabilities I needed for day or night operations, and did very well in poor lighting and in the rain. It recharges rapidly using U.S. or European voltages - this one is a keeper.
