Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T500 Digital Camera Review

[news 28]

Everything USB is pleased to announce our Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T500 Digital Camera review.

 

Perched near the top of the ultra-slim T series line of digital still cameras, the Cyber-shot DSC-T500 is the camera of choice for the fashion conscious - stunning exterior design, competitive feature set, 720p HD video capture, a brilliant widescreen and touch interface, and the often-copied Sony folding lens. Has performance and ease-of-use been sacrificed unnecessarily in the interests of fashion? Or has Sony finally created the ultimate slim high resolution digicam? Read on to find out.

Verdict:

A stunning supermodel with a horrible personality, the Sony DSC-T500 is gorgeous to look at and an absolute bear to live with. The widescreen LCD is a real conversation-starter, but the lack of buttons hinders regular operation. Sony hits the mark for the digital lifestyle fashion accessory, but as a digicam, there are many better, cheaper, and similarly slim options. Casual users should generally be pleased with the performance, but serious shutterbugs should take a pass.

 

The Good:

+ Large, widescreen LCD

+ Very good image quality outdoors

+ Premium build quality

+ Beautiful styling and paint finish

+ 5x optical zoom in a folding lens design

+ Great HD video quality

 

The Bad:

- Cumbersome touch screen interface

- Widescreen LCD not high resolution

- Noisy high ISO

- Color rendition gaudy and inaccurate

- Slow flash performance

- Poor battery life

- Flimsy battery door and latch

- Expensive
