Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90

Opinion: For a subcompact camera (tiny lens), this camera takes fine pictures. Good, natural color saturation and sharp images. I've used mine for about 6 months now and have been very happy with it. Slips into my pocket and don't even know it is there. Build is very substantial for the size of the camera, heavy for such a small camera. I found the touchscreen menu system very easy to use compared to my other cameras (Nikon 5700, Olympus E-3). Haven't used video much, but took a video at night with just a front porch light for illumination and was amazed at how good it was. Video would not play from MemStick on my Sony TV, perhaps had it recorded in HD mode, would have to read up more for a definitive evaluation, but I did not buy for video. Flash is what is expected from a small camera. Indoor pictures turn out fine with acceptable grain. Shutter response time is great, no missed shots so far. Macro works well.

Ergonomics are thoughtful. Ridges that allow for a firm grip, zoom lever has a nice raised bar for positive control. I have had no trouble manipulating the controls or keeping hold of the camera and I have large hands.

A fine little camera.

Opinion: This is the first camera chosen by its color (pink model)... my wife really likes it.
Portability is great and touch screens seems the way forward. Start up is quick, menu
is ok. Not too bad for ultra compact point and shoot camera. Sliding cover protects
lens.

Opinion: I bought this camera as a replacement for a Sony DSC-T30. This was on the 20th May
2009. Well I am very dissapointed in this camera it is not a patch on the old camera,
my wife uses the DSC-T30 and will not go for the DSC-T90. I have been back to SONY
but they shrug thier shoulders.

Opinion: I bought it and have seen everybody elses on Youtube and it was exellent but we are having a bit of troublee with ours..

Opinion: Very good color rendition, Image quality good not great. Grainy after Iso 400. Menu system a bit confusing till you get used to it after using it awhile. Not very intuitive. Portability is great!! Small and pocketable, always ready to use!

Opinion: I recently read a blog where someone asked, "What is the best 'street' camera?

I think there are excellent arguments why this is it.

In is very portable, about half an inch thick, unobtrusive (especiially in black), has excellent internal software, an excellent LCD screen, a built in lens cover (so you can just stick it in your pocket, very fast ready time, very good low light performance and you can operate it with one hand. In summary, you can always have it with you, and can shoot pictures anywhere.

For photojournalism, or recording street scenes, it cannot be beat.
