| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Nice Camera, but breaks easily
This was a nice camara until it reached 2 years of use. An error message came up, focus seems broke down. Camara was not dropped or anything. I searched online, and found a lot people having same problem, some saying by hitting the side of it might get rid of the error message, but it didn't work for me. Don't buy if you looking for something that you can use for a longer time period. | 1 | Today | Don't Do It!
I have had this camera for a year an a half. In that time it has taken many photos for me, most of them good, the rest blurry or overexposed. (blurry even when using the stabilizer. It's a big problem). My main problem with this quarrel is that about a year ago, a little bump caused some screws to come out of the camera and then the casing actually began to separate. Now, Sony took it back under warranty, fixed it, and returned it. A couple months later, a couple other screws went missing for no apparent reason. Again, sent back, returned fixed. Now, it's started doing this really annoying vibrating thing sometimes when I'm trying to take photos, which causes them to come out very, very blurry. I have no idea why it does this, and am currently shopping for a new camera. I heard the newer Cybershots are better, but am cautious to buy Sony again because this experience was so bad. I shouldn't need to buy a new camera after having this one for less than a year and a half, even less when considering it spent about two months of that being repaired. Oh, another thing, the flipdoor will come open in your pocket or purse, and waste battery. Luckily, the battery life is good, but it's still irritating and can't be good for the camera.
Don't do it, find another camera. | 1 | Today | Dissapointing
Hi,
Ok, so the camera was AMAZING the first two days until I dropped it into the toilet in its case. Now, obviosuly this is my fault. It dried out and I brought it in to a camera specialist who said it was fine but I feel the pictures were not as clear. So now it is just sitting here on my desk and I can't use my $400 camera. But the camera was great...i don't recommend buying this porduct online. You can't send it or take it back. | 2 | Today | Good but beware of limitations
I have had this camera for 8+ months and used it extensively. I have had plenty of experience with many other digital and film cameras.
Its main pros:
+ small size (internal zoom helps)
+ good looks
+ silent operation
Cons:
- very noisy images, smudged by the camera's noise reduction
- very bad and overly strong flash, overwhelms subject indoors
- useless red-eye technology
- relatively short battery life
Basically, this is a cool party cam. For most images, esp. indoors, I need to edit with Photoshop or some other program to eliminate red eyes and fix exposure due to flash issues. The images cannot be sharpened (unlike say a Canon) because of the aggressive smudging from the noise reduction algorithm.
I like this camera but many a time I wish I had bought a Canon digital elph instead. | 3 | Today | Awesome Camera!!!!
I just love this camera! The quality of the photos and videos are excellent. The battery life has never been a problem at all. It's very easy to store in it's dock. The videos are great and so convenient that I find myself taking more videos with this camera than with my video camera. | 5 | Today | Thumbs-Up (even if you have 2 thumbs)!
I love it! Please note that I am NOT an expert photographer, but I bought this camera for an upcoming trip I was taking and it surpassed its purpose. Since then I have taken thousands of pictures. Camera is compact, very reliable, and its features are very easy to learn. Controls to view, change from photo to video, zooming in and out, changing the settings, and hooking up/transferring files to your computer were all easy to do (especially compared to other digital cameras I have owned). My photos turned out very sharp! The one bad thing - night or dark pictures are near to impossible to take without blurring (because the camera is so sensitive to movement at slow shutter speeds). However, since I mostly take well-lit photos of people and/or scenery, the photo quality is excellent. If I could do it over again, I would still purchase this camera! | 5 | Today | $899 for a $299 Camera (Price Gouging).
Do not buy this camera at $899 as listed by the above seller (maybe Amazon might correct the price after reading my review). It's priced at $299 or lower at many online and physical stores. | 5 | Today | No support for bad LCD Screen
I'm sure that if the camera worked properly, it would have been fantastic; however, I received a camera on my birthday this year, only to have difficulty with the focussing mechanism. I took 4 blurry shots of my son's birthday party, and the next time I turned the camera on, the LCD screen was broken. We purchased the extended warranty from Best Buy, so when I brought the camera (10 days old, mind you) in for repair, they insisted that I'd dropped it and broken it (which I hadn't), even though there were no signs of external damage...no scratches, dents or anything. After sending it in, Best Buy informed me that it would cost us $180 to fix, and that they wouldn't fix the focussing mechanism until I'd paid for the LCD screen to be fixed. Disgusted, I retrieved my camera from customer service unfixed. I contacted Sony, who appologized and told me to send in my camera for free repair. I ended up receiving a call from their repair center, informing me that it would cost me $180 to repair and that LCD screens are not covered, whether I received it broken or not. I tried a third time for repair, only to be told that I would have to pay. My mother tried to use her Buyer's Protection Plan from her Visa (it was a birthday gift from her to me), only to have her money refunded, then re-charged months later when Best Buy's legal department wouldn't pay her Visa bill.
Based upon our experiences (among other bad experiences with Best Buy), we stopped shopping at Best Buy, and now own a lovely Olympus camera. Don't buy the Sony Cybershot DSC-T9! | 1 | Today | Produces brilliant photos, quality and color
My first digital camera was a Sony cybershot, I had it for 3 years until last December it fell into a swimming pool, amazingly it still turned on and you could still view pictures just not take new ones. I was impressed and have always been impressed with Sony. So when it was time for a new camera I picked the Sony Cybershot DSC T 9.
Sony, does it again! This camera is spectacular! I purchased it in December of last year and use it on a consistent basis every weekend. Fantastic detail and color in photos, very high quality.
Incredibly POWERFUL FLASH, my photos always look beautiful.
The camera is sharp, sleek, and modern looking. Fits nicely into a pocket or small purse. In my opinion it's one of the best digital camera out there right now. I love Sony!
| 5 | Today | Poorly made product and bad customer services in SONY China
Just bought a SONY T9 in Tokyo last April 10,2006 (7 months ago).
And suddenly 2 weeks ago, the screen went dim practically can not see anything.
The power on / off also not working. All happened at the same time.
Try to repair at SONY service station in Shanghai as I am residing there for the moment.
Very indifferent customer service staff refuse to repair, despite that I do have a world wide guarantee card and the receipt from the Tokyo shop as well as the complete boxes.
The SONY people there are really not helpful at all.
Most probably we suspect, they don't want to shoulder the cost for repairing under guarantee from SONY worldwide.
It is shameful for such a big name like SONY.
Definitely, I will not buy again from SONY. Change to Olympus for the replacement and also cancel my BRAVIA LCD purchase.
I do not recommend buying goods from SONY as you might have the same experiences (poor hardware quality and services). | 1 | Today |
