picture quality is good and the camera itself is fun and funky
The design is stylish
very light and easy to use

some image details are warped and skewed
noise is when viewed at full size
image quality at ISO 3200 was awful
touchscreen can be a frustrating and time-consuming experience
only displaying the total number of images shot on a given day
do not provide a Raw file format save their images in JPEG format
Digital zoom was a disappointment
It often indicates a weak flash
Sony T2 only outputs a VGA signal for video
not images on the Memory Stick)
3200 ISO is virtually useless
The built-in flash is a little bit underpowered
heavy image compression has robbed the image of a lot of fine detail
rather expensive for a compact camera
the lens is very prone to dirt
built quality and the specifications
Not as good as other Cyber Shot cameras at similar prices

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T2

Sony today announced its Cyber-shot DSC-T2 featuring 4GB of internal memory to help make image storage and sharing a snap. The camera, like Sony's previous DSC-G2, will make use of Memory Sticks but the sheer size of the built in storage - combined with its 2.7" touchscreen and extensive in-camera organization and editing features - relegate removable media to back-up status. Face-Detection, Smile Shutter and high ISO (3200 in this case) cover 2007s technology requirements whilst the overall styling - with its clean lines and surfaces uncluttered by buttons thanks to the touch-based user interface - gives it a touch of class, even in the green and pink color schemes. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T2 will be available from December 2007 for around $350.
