Thread: IPod for photos: Sony Cybershot DSC-T2

In an unusual concept is Sony at the Sony Cybershot DSC-T2 dared - and the merits alone, but sometimes applause. With their colleagues from the compact area, it has in common that it has a shutter and, like others, with eight megapixels photographed. Otherwise, it is already obvious at first glance that the camera is different.

The lens, for example, is pushed down and slides are on the lower part of the device. Since the Sony engineers most of the Sony Ericsson phone designers learned. And where are all the keys go? Sie sind zum großen Teil virtuell . They are for the most part virtual. Although there is still the release, but otherwise uses the T2 largely on the touch-screen on the back.

It works with pointed fingers very well - the camera does not belong in the hands of Grobmotorikern.Sony also provides a small "pen". With 2.7 inch display is not overly large, it also reflects relatively strong. The unusual operation should also beginners through relatively quickly - but only those who have no other digital camera obsessed.

Because the change is not trivial. Sony has, however, tried to the touch-screen makes sense. So you can, for example, the focus rectangle with a finger to the desired point. The auto focus works not particularly fast. He may, however, faces particular rush, which worked well in the test.

They wish he waits until the person smiles. What the camera interprets as smiles, from person to person quite different. Once she solves at every suggestion made, sometimes you have to really mean grin. When I up the camera, I instinctively wanted from my wardrobe a memory card pick.

It is not necessary, because the T2 provides four gigabytes of built-in memory - that is as much as a small iPod nano. Then adjust depending on the image quality, a lot of photos, meisdt enough for a whole vacation. To quickly transferred to the PC and into the net to bring you the camera on the enclosed special cable to the computer.

It then starts a auomatisch Sony software, the image-such tasks. Who is annoyed them, the camera on the space program saved but also remove. Important is the special cable for the Sony transporttaugliche a solution. With an optional cable can the DSC-T2 to a HD-TV tether and there organize slide shows with music. The image quality of the camera is also okay.

The optical image stabilizer, the necessary sensitivity in some situations down the pictures was very good. Sony has the camera still spendiert ISO 3200 - a setting that you really only in an emergency should choose. The white balance can not manually - this is a real disadvantage, even beginners quickly felt. During busy photographing, the DSC-T2 quite well, with 300 photos were of a battery charge no problem (with little flash use).
