Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50

Opinion: I had to exchange this camera for a different model due to white spots in all my pictures taken with the flash.

Opinion: Sony will never learn, there are times when form no matter what will never defeat
function. Sounds like a good camera on paper, but not worth it.

Opinion: i have to say that i don't usually post this kind of reviews, but in all fairness i want to do some justice to this nice camera, especially against the previous posters here.
if you want to buy this camera read some of the reviews for t30 and t10, i found them more realistic...

even i'm a professional photographer i've bought this camera for my family pictures.
reguarding my previous experience with digital cameras (if relevant):
for my work i' ve owned: nikon d100, fuji s2, kodak 14n, phase one h25 and now phase one p45, soon to be upgrated to p45+.
my previous "family camera" were: nikon 990, canon a70, canon g6 and now sony t50.

the pros:
excelent GUI, intuitive menu.
excelent movie mode, probably industry best at this time (2006), with good AF, zoom during shooting.
very good image quality in the daylight (i mean on the par with any 6mpx DSLR).
very well built.

i don't mind for the lack of raw mode, i highly reccomend this camera for the casual shooter.
if you're interested in raw and stuff, you're probably looking after a DSLR anyway, because the T50 is just another kind of camera.

Opinion: this camera replaced my Canon sd-800. Canon had the worst video sound ever. It could not handle high volume sounds from concerts. It was very dissapointing.
So now T50 arrives. What a beauty, both from outside and inside.
takes very sharp pictures under most light conditions. Supersteady shot seems to be working better that Canon. High Iso mode has less noise than Canon SD800. The videos have perfect sound quality.
The touch screen is so easy to use and classy.
The battery life is outstanding together with the battery remaining indicator. Canons do not have this indicator for some reason.

I would recommend this camera strongly to any P&S fanatics. especially with a price around $340 online. get the black one by the way ;)
