Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T9

Good – Quality product from Sony. Has a few weakness like battery problem but easy to overcome, just get a spare battery. Doesnt have water resistance like TX5 or photo edit feature like T77, but have panarama / auto stitch feature, good lens and good night shots. Be careful to avoid magnetic case for the camera, it will switch the camera on and drain all battery. Good night shot

Compact

Have gold color! (Personal favor)

Easy slides on/off Pricy as sony tradition

Battery life is a bit less than average, even worse if u use the night mode feature / photo stitch

Good feature, but I found the older model from my gf T77 has some feature it doesnt have, like to edit the photo and detect ur mouth then give u a smile.

Terrible – The camera has never taken a clear photo since day dot! I purchased this camera based on the reputable name and ever since have wished I didn't. After adjusting just about every possible option (and there are a few) I still have the same problem - absolute cr@p photo's and at the end of the day it's the picture quality I am seeking. I have used $60 K-Mart specials that outperform without question and based on the price difference, it's pathetic. The camera has been looked after 100%, never dropped, never been exposed to ay elements such as moisture, heat, etc, etc.

Sadly for Sony, I would not recommend their name again for anybody looking at purchasing one of their cameras.

*clearly I got a lemon..? Loved the size, features, inbuilt battery & found the menu easy to understand. The included RCA connections were an added bonus which get used frequently and the separate battery charger means I always have the second battery (purchased separately) fully charged and ready to go. Expensive.
