Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100 Compact Digital Camera Review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100, 8.1-megapixel, 5x zoom flagship of the T-series pocket compacts, which was launched in February this year is a very nice looking camera… the overall impression is of elegant simplicity. There’s nothing delicate about it though. The case is made from aluminium, the monitor has a scratch-resistant coating, and although it is quite a slim camera (91.8 x 59.2 x 22.3mm) it feels quite solid and weighty. With battery and card fitted it tips the scales at 172g, so it’s not going to blow away in a breeze.

..Image quality is where the T100 justifies its hefty price tag. The Carl Zeiss lens lives up to its prestigious name, providing superb detail with minimal wide-angle distortion, and some of the best edge and corner sharpness I’ve seen from a compact camera.

..The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100 is an expensive camera for a relatively simple pocket compact, but it justifies its price with excellent build quality, elegant design, above average performance and superb image quality. It is an outstanding all-round snapshot camera, and if you can afford it you won’t be disappointed.
