| Review | Rating | Last Updated | Best yet from Sony. This is the one to buy.
A while back, I reviewed the T-3 Euro version of the T-33 and it was a fine little camera. However, I wanted to upgrade (isn't that the point?) so I bought a T-9 a few weeks ago. A friend had purchased a T-7 and I was impressed, but when I saw the T-9, I was sold!
<br />
<br />The image quality is better, (6+ megapixels!), and this camera includes the "anti-shake" feature. I tested the "anti-shake" extensively on a recent trip to Thailand, as I absolutely h*a*t*e on-camera flash with these small point & shoot cameras. It's never enough and the lighting is far too bright (up close) and washed out. I can tell you, the "anti-shake" works rather well - not perfectly - but you do gain the equivalent of a "stop" or two of light, for all you low-light shooters. You can stretch that by setting the ASA or DIN speeds manually, and the pictures are quite nice. Color rendition is good, producing a very attractive image, and the zoom is the typical 3x. No problems there.
<br />
<br />They added a tripod screw on the bottom, dumping the separate plastic base of the T-3 (never used it...). There's a sliding front cover that powers the camera when moved from over the lens, or you can, as I often do, leave the cover down and operate the power button. Either way, the camera powers quite quickly, and battery life is good. I have not noticed any significant decrease in battery life over my T-3, but then I have a separate charger and an extra battery. Nicely, Sony added the separate charger to this set, probably to induce you to buy another battery but that's a smart idea.
<br />
<br />I use the leather belt case (same as the T-3) so I did not have to re-invest, and it's very fast. You'll be a real quick draw artist with this camera.
<br />
<br />In my T-3 review, I compared the T-3 favorably to the DSC-828 that I have literally retired (using it only for formal events now), and the T-9 is even better. I'd give the 828 away but I don't know who wants a boat anchor now, the | 5 | 754 days ago | Memory Card ONLY WORKS with Sony computers!
I am no technical guru like most other reviewers, however I am thrilled with the operation of my camera, and the quality of all of the features I researched has not let me down.
<br />This being said, my frustration is that neither the Sony website nor other websites which provide information about and reviews for various cameras (Amazon included) highlight the fact that the Sony Memory Stick Duo is ONLY compatible with Sony computers. Yes, the use of USB connector means you can upload your photos onto any computer, but it's not nearly as convenient.
<br />I am not sure I would have bought this camera if I had known this. | 3 | 754 days ago | beautiful camera
i am very happy with this camera. i get some frizzy picture once or twice but all most every picture looks shape and clear. | 4 | 741 days ago | No longer the latest, but, for my purposes, still the best
This is my second digital camera, so, I had some idea of what features to look for,but, I'm not a professional photographer. I wanted, I thought, a lot from this camera. It needed to record good enough data to be reproduced on my laptop drive on promotional literature for my customers and myself. At the same time, I travel by plane every week,and, smaller and lighter is better. Therefore, it also had to be small enough to fit in my shirt pocket. This is where you're starting to ask a lot. Then, I found out about image stabilization and realized that, as small as this camera is, this would be an important feature. Small cameras move in your hand easily. I decided that to produce quality enlargements of the size I intend, I needed minimum 6 MP. Now, when you make a list that says 6 MP, pocket sized, image stabilization, minimum 2.5 inch LCD screen, and plenty of available accessories, you eliminate most of the cameras out there. I went down to a camera store and handled the Casios, Olympus, etc., and as soon as I handled the Sony, I knew. The fit and finish is superior to the Casio and Olympus, in my opinion, and, since I've had the camera, about a week, I've been pleased and surprised at the quality of the camera and the photo's it takes. The T-30 is now the latest in this model-line, but, is much larger in the hand. The Casio and Olympus are both less expensive and about the same size. But if you want a true pocket-sized camera that takes excellent photo's, and, you are willing to pay a little more to have something that continues to impress you each time you use it, I recommend the Sony T-9. I like mine a lot. | 5 | 741 days ago | The best deal I've ever got!!
This is a remarkable camera with cool output and handling. By far the best digital output I've ever seen. I tried some takes against the light and found that the images were superb. This is the 4th camera I've used and found the value for my money with it. The flash is very powerful and helps in managing the finer details into the snap.Red eye problem is almost not there (with the exception of photos that are taken from a very close distance). The zoom is not that great but still works for me as I normally take pictures from not very large distances. The battery life is good and lasts an entire day of sight seeing. The ultra slim design makes you crave to use it more n more. One of the best models Sony has ever produced.... | 5 | 741 days ago | Amazing definition, and good colors too
I bought this camera to replace a 5 megapixel Fujifilm camera I had grown to love. I was astounded at the improved definition I got from the image stabilization technology. Now I would never buy another camera without stabilization, since I never use a tripod and often capture split-second "opportunity" shots. Sony have made a real winner here. Recommended. | 5 | 741 days ago | Amazing little camera but...
I had the Sony T-1 which was also a great camera... but I left it in a cab and I was not getting that little baby back... So I ordered a replacement with this camera. And for the most part, I'm thrilled. I love that it goes anywhere, the screen is huge, and its really user friendly. (I can hand it off to my grandparents who are baffled by most digital anythings and they figured it out)
<br />
<br />My only qualm is the docking station, or in this case, a lack thereof. The T1 I had before had a nifty little docking station I plugged into my computer and left on my desk. WHenever I wanted to charge or transfer pictures I plugged it in and it sat there nice and pretty. This camera does not. Rather, to get that you have to pay an extra $70. I had never thought of sony as a company that would nickle and dime me... thats not true I guess, specialized formatting kind of is their M.O. and all, but I was very disappointed when I saw that this new version didn't come with the docking station. It just seemed like poor marketing from a keep your consumers happy kind of angle. Bought the dock... if you like that kind of thing I suggest you do too, and have no problems with it ;o)
