Sony Cybershot DSC-T70 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (White) Reviews

Customer Rating:
Summary: So cute, but definitely not a good value.
Comment: I bought this camera 1 year ago. I thought that because it was Sony and was expensive, it would be a good camera. I also loved the sleek design and the large LCD touch screen. Although this camera isn't terrible, there are definitely better out there (and for less $!). I have a 1 year old and thanks to this camera I have missed out on some special moments. I've been surprised to find that pictures that look good on the LCD screen are in fact blurry, something you don't always notice until you upload them to your computer. Here are the good and bad things I've noticed with this camera over the last year.
Pros:
-Large, crisp LCD screen
-Pictures taken outdoors can come out beautifully!
-Battery charge lasts a decent amount of time
-Sleek, slim design is eye-catching takes up little room in your bag
-You can hook it up to your TV for a slide show (which you can add music to by uploading the music to your camera)
-You can draw on your pics using the stylus and you can add 'stamps' to pics, too
-You can remove red eye and crop photos right there on the camera!

Cons:
-Although the touch screen was appealing at first, it's more of a pain. It gets so dirty, and the menu is ridiculous. You have to go through way too many options just to review your pics.
-The lens is in an awkward place...if you're used to holding your camera with two hands while you take a pic, it's very likely that one of your fingers is going to be in your picture!
-You must use SONY everything...not convenient if you happen to want or need a new battery.
-This camera uses memory stick pro duo rather than a plain old sd card...more $$$
-Pics taken in lighting that is not absolutely PERFECT will most likely come out burry or dark. The flash doesn't always know when to go off when in auto mode
-For some reason, I often can see dust in my pictures because the light from the flash reflects off of it somehow
-It takes a while to focus in order to get a clear pic, not good for someone trying to take pics of a busy toddler
-Shutter speed could be faster
-Face detection is hit or miss, and without it most pics of my son come out blurry
-Smile shutter was completely useless for me b/c it really only detects huge, cheesy smiles that you wouldn't want a picture of anyway

That's all I can think of. I just went today and purchased a Canon SD790IS and I hope I will be pleased with that camera. I would never buy a Sony camera again...it was way too expensive and the fancy features don't make up for the bad picture quality.

Summary: Poor Quality..
Comment: I purachased this Item for gift purpose, but I recieved the item in very bad condition(outer box fully damaged and finger prints on screen). My friend is saying that picture and video quality is also not that much good compared to 3.0 MP Camera(she sent me those photos and videos, those are too worst quality)... So she is not satisfied with the camera..so am also not satisfied with the product that you sent to me. That too I Purchased for gift purpose and you insulted me by sending a worst quality product. so that I decided not to buy any other products through amazon.com website.

Summary: Nice product
Comment: For a starer like me, the product is amazing. Nice steady shot, smile shutter is good, but not of much use. The battery life is good too...

Summary: Im stuck with this camera
Comment: The camera is for someone who has small fingers because everything in it has tiny buttons, the only thing that it has big is the display, this is why I bought it in the first place but I didn't know what I was getting into. The thing is that to zoom the image it's terrible, you have to be an expert to know how to use it to the point that if you ask someone to take you a picture they're going to have a hard time figuring where the button is. I don't recommend this camera, I found it at a very attractive price and because of the 8.1MP, but I will return it if I could!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Poor Picture Quality
Comment: I also own a similar older Sony Cybershot camera and the picture quality was much better on it. It seems this camera is about style over substance. I like how the cover slides down and the large touch screen, but the picture quality is sub-par. As stated in earlier reviews, artificial lighting pics are not good at all.
