4 out of 5 stars Pretty and small but a few flaws   August 30, 2008
Ginny Rhine (NJ)
I "upgraded" to this camera from my previous DSC-N1. I have always had Sony cameras and I love them in general. They take beautiful pictures, are easy to use and I've had very few problems with them. This is my fourth. I take A LOT of pictures. My kids consider me their personal paparazzi, so I do give my cameras a workout. I was swayed into getting this camera because I liked the way it looked, but there are a few things about it I find disappointing. I have a Sony Vaio computer and in the past, I have always just popped my memory stick (with the adapter for the duo) into my computer to transfer the pictures. That way I don't have to mess with cables since I am using a laptop. This camera has 4 GB of internal memory, which is a great feature. However, you can't choose to save to the memory stick pro duo instead. The camera will only allow you to use that when the internal memory is full. That is a huge disappointment for me. Unless you fill the internal memory and keep it full all the time, you can't use the memory stick. Also, the position of the lens is very close to the top of the camera. This means when some people use it (doesn't usually happen to me), they put their finger right over it. So I end up with lots of pictures with fingers over the people. I think it is because the camera is so small, it is hard to get a good grip on it. My last complaint is the button for viewing the pictures. I think it is awkward and hard to press. All in all, very nice camera. But there are definite improvements to be made.


5 out of 5 stars Great camera   July 6, 2008

This is a great camera for someone looking for something very small and portable. The screen is very large (and touch-screen) so all the options you need to change are right there. It also has a "simple-shoot" mode so you don't get confused with all the options.

Leaving it on automatic, night shots come out very well, and there is usually no red-eye.



5 out of 5 stars The camera   June 25, 2008

This one has all the features I ever dreamed,plus is so easy to use that I didn't need to read the catalog to figure it out.


4 out of 5 stars Better but not the best Camera   June 1, 2008
Bikash Jaisi (Redmond, WA USA)
The reasons for which I got attracted were 4GB built-in memory, stylish body and the size. It's working properly so far and I am satisfied. But, I found that the picture quality was not good as expected. I tried all the possible settings but still couldn't get the fully satisfying quality that we can expect from camera in this price. The next thing I didn't find friendly was the USB interface. The connector is in the down side which is really difficult to keep the camera in stand position.

Overall, It's a good camera that does everything as expected and the best camera for the quick snapshots....



5 out of 5 stars Always with you   May 27, 2008

Its the camera that I have with me every day, all the time, as its small, does not take up a lot of space, has long battery life, starts up and takes pictures very quickly and image quality is excellent.

I prefer buttons to touchscreens, but I got used to this one and it works pretty well. Can operate the camera by one hand only, including the zoom, to take pictures, for example if I catch an interesting light on a building while walking on the street.

Low light scene programs work very well, took a few night skyline and fireworks shots recently. You will need a mini tripod or a Joby Gorillapod for that.

The T2 really lived up to my expectations as the point and shoot that's always ready. It complements well my film cameras that I use for more elaborate photography.
