Sony Cybershot DSC-T10 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Steady Shot Zoom (Black)

The size of this camera is great. The picture clarity is great if you only take pictures in the direct sunlight. However, unless you like red-eye pictures do not purchase this camera. This camera is the biggest disappointment. I purchased a Sony cybershot three years ago and it was great, never had any issues but unfortunately my son broke it so I had to purchase a new one. I did lots of research, read all the available reviews and finally decided to purchase the new DSC-T10, "one of the best ones out there". Well I do not agree. I have called Sony at least three times to receive help on how to remove the red-eye from my pictures and their only suggestions is to use the red-eye reduction feature, which does not work! I use it every time and I still get red-eye. Their other suggestion is to tell the people to look away from the camera...well it still happens. I am so disappointed in this camera. I can't believe I spent $350+ for this camera and it is the quality it is. I'm ready to give it away I'm so frustrated. One other thing if you like to use the date stamp then you'll need to purchase either a docking station for your computer or purchase their additional software because if you take your memory stick to a store to print out your pictures then the date stamp will not print on them. The biggest disappointment!

So I waited and saved up to buy THIS camera. I had to have it after seeing how cute it was and hearing about all of its features including the supposedly Super SteadyShot stabilization. So finally, I bought it and I must say, for the price, it has been a let down. Don't get me wrong, it's VERY cute and small - easily fitting into a pocket or purse. And some of the features are very nice, like the flip down front to turn on and off, but the negatives outweigh the positives. Use your $300+ dollars towards a SLR camera or save yourself some money and buy a cheaper camera. This one is not worth it. I made the mistake of not returning it a few days after I got it, thinking I just didn't know how to use it properly. If anyone reads this review and still wants a barely used t10, contact me!My major problems inlcude:**Even though it has "Super SteadyShot stabilization" I still get blurry pictures just like I would with any other camera. I don't see this amazing technology Sony claims this camera possesses.**There's something wrong with the design of the camera and the flash being so close the the lens. This results in large reflective circles appearing in some of your pictures for no apparent reason and it's impossible to repair the image once this has happened. You never know when they will appear and it results in the picture being ruined. Sony acknowledges the problem but offers no solution. They claim it's due to "dust particles in the air."**The next MAJOR problem is red eye. I have never experienced such terrible red eye problems on any camera. There is a red eye reduction setting which does ABSOLUTEY NOTHING.**The camera is cute and small, but the cord that comes with it to transfer pictures resembles an octopus. Sony attempted to make an "all-in-one" cord for this camera, but ended up making a nuissance. I like to carry the camera and cord in one small case so, if need be, I can transfer my pictures to a computer whenever I like. This cord makes that impossible because although the camera is tiny in size, this cord would take up half my purse! It may seem trivial, but it's a pain to me.

The form factor of the camera is the strongest selling point. Together with a nice back screen and a menu that is easy to use and navigate, makes this camera a good product. But the quality of the pictures taken by this camera felt short of my expectations. When compared with a Nikon Coolpix of 5.1 MP, the pictures of the Sony did not have the contrast, depth of field, color accuracy and resolution that the Nikon had.

Beautiful design for it's time. I must say the build quality of Sony products as of late has not been on par with older models. Step up your game Sony!!!

sony is lame. i agree. they'e inexplicably expensive, provide terrible or non-existant customer service, produce equipment that has major faults, and only support their own proprietary formats and accessories so if you lose a cord or want to increase your memory card, you have to give them even more $.that said, this camera is amazing, and you should buy one.1. the small size of this camera makes it a non-decision as to whether to bring it with you, which is a major defect of most larger cameras. look at it this way: if you are not a photographer, you will likely never bring that big camera with you on simple outings, and will probably not even take it out of its case unless a really good photo op happens. so you will spend the same amount of $ on a much better camera that you will never really use. this camera fits in my shirt pocket, and comes everywhere with me.2. The "magnifying glass" mode on the sony t-series camera cannot be beat except with a much larger, more expensive SLR camera. believe me, i am a botanist and this camera takes such good pictures of flowers that you can see the grains of pollen, in relief. this camera can see better that you can.3. sony is not the only lame electronics manufacturer.
