The Sony T1 is a small shirt pocket size camera. It has a physically small lens about the size of a human eyeball. The advantage of this small lens is that it can be placed close to a microscope's objective lens and a picture can be taken of what is on the stage, just as if you were looking through the microscope. The T1 also has AE Bracketing. It is capable of taking three shots in a row using different exposures. This is a nice feature because when you put the images on an editing pad you can select the best exposure for printing. The features are in the easy to use menu. Prints can be enlarged to make at least an 8 X 10 inch print. There is also a speed burst mode on the camera that will take about eight photos in a row within a second. The video is acceptable, 640X480. Easy to transfer to a social media platform such as Facebook. And the video is clear with good audio. I purchased several of the T1 cameras on eBay. It is a good all purpose camera that will serve you well for general pictures and home video. The camera can also be used in Black & White mode. The camera has a zoom lens , 38-114mm (equivalent to a lens on a 35mm film camera. It's a good range. What I miss on the T1 is an optical viewfinder. The T1 only has the LCD screen.Read full review

Works great and after I printed out the super comprehensive manual I learned how to use this older tech camera to its full potential. Its' still very compact and gives good sd pictures. No its not 4K or 1080pi but I don't need that in a tiny point & shoot anyway. All the cables were useable but one on my new equipment. Fortunately I have a older plasma tv set that had rca inputs so I was able to view all my stills and videos on it. But then I was able to download all the pixx using my mac computer and still view them using my hdmi only mac mini and samsung 40 inch curved screen telly using the usb cable the cybershit came with.

The Sony dsc-t1 camera is an excellent camera, except for the major problem with the defective ccd units which were put in them. This causes the pictures to come out blurry or with dark lines on the lcd. Sony was aware of this problem early on and did allow some to be repaired for free for a period of time. Unfortunately the time has run out and now they refuse to stand behind their mistake and fix any more for free. A camera repair shop will fix them for around $100, with a part that you can buy on Ebay for $10 and it takes about 15 minutes to replace. I personally would never buy a new camera fron Sony due to their uncaring attitude, but when I can buy a $400 camera and repair it for a total cost of $30-$40 , it's a great deal.
The best camera is one you have on you ready to take that spur of the moment, impromptu shot that always seems to beat out the planned "Ok now everybody smile" shot in your photo album or picture frame. This is and extremely advanced amazing high quality digital camera that is literally the size of a pack of smokes, even a bit thinner! I bought my T1 after 3 years with an older Sony Cybershot, a camera that had been dropped and stepped on, splashed, and stuffed into my pocket without a case so many times and still takes perfect pictures today, but when I saw how thin the T1 was I just had to have it, and bought one off ebay complete with lots of accesories and a huge memory chip for less then retail. The available accesories is a huge bonus, the underwater enclosure has been a blast at pool parties It is really neat to take underwater video!!! Every button and feature of the camera is accessible through the hard clear plastic case, not a drop leaks in, Ive even used it in the ocean surfing! Another great feature is the USB cradle, gone are the days of constantly buying batteries or swapping out the rechargeables, The T1 has a docking cradle, after a day of taking pictures set it on its cradle and the camera is ready to download the photos while simultaneously recharging the camera'a internal battery, You never need to consciously think about the battery, I own a spare battery and spare memory cards but never have needed it, the battery life photo storage is awesome, Ive taken literally hundreds of photos at weddings and not used up half the battery or available memory...The huge screen makes sharing the photos and video so fun, its like a TV screen, absolutely huge compared to other cameras Ive used. I guess Im going to have to think of a gripe before people think I work for Sony (I dont!) so I will mention the flash isnt the most powerful, you will want to be within a few feet of your subject when taking photos at night, but that is a minor trade off considering the ultra compact size. The ability to comfortably slip it into a shirt pocket more than makes up for any lack of flash power. I Must say the manual is very easy to understand, although I didnt read it for the first 6 months I owned the camera, right out of the box it took great photos but for the more technically advanced, there are many menus that allow you to tweak the settings for different conditions. I found the menus very intuitive and easy to operate even without the manual, I immediately was able to adjust the resolution and photo size and use the magnifying mode for taking extreme closeups of things I sell on ebay, this camera has more than paid for itself with its crisp clear detailed photos that show my customers exactly what they are bidding on, I highly recommend this camera!!!Read full review
This little camera is an excellent pocket camera. Beware there was a recall on their image sensors so many on Ebay still have the bad (blind) sensor. Always ask before you buy if the camera was recalled or if it was fixed by Sony already. They are tough, boot up fast and can focus at just about 3 inches, great for flowers and insects. I think the most important feature of this camera is the folded optics that it uses, NOT the fragile telescoping zoom style that you see on ebay as jammed or broken. This style is definately the way to go for a pocket or purse camera. I would NOT consider ANY telescoping optic camera unless you have a LONG warranty. The video is very good for its size and price nowadays. Only drawback is that it takes Sony style proprietary Memory stick, not cheaper SD memory. If you are looking for a pocket or purse camera, this is a very good choice for the price range. If you are looking for more control in a camera, this may not be for you as most features are automatic, but you do have plenty of preset options. As always, download the manual before you make any purchase. This gives you a feel for the camera and its ability, and also its shortcomings. Be cautious of multiple problem posts on cameras. Remember that Sony makes millions of cameras, and your only reading about the bad ones. You should be aware of design flaws though, as these are characteristics you can't change, ie telescoping optics that will jam or fail.Read full review
