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

I REPEAT!!!...do not buy this camera..or any other sony camera for that matter....Many people, including myself, have experienced a very simple but devastating problem with it. IT WILL NOT TURN ON. The battery is fully charged and nothing. I tested the battery in another camera and it worked fine so the problem is with the camera. And by the way, i find it kind of funny how everybody that i have spoken to who has this problem mentioned that it didn't happen until after the 1 year warranty had expired. Save yourself the heartache that you will experience in little over a year and stay away from Sony!!

I love my camera! Of course I researched the item in consumer reports before purchasing and it lived up to it's name!

soy fotografo aficionado de uso rudo y he tenido unas siete camaras digitales mmm varias aiptek , varias sony dsc y de la t pues todavia tengo la t7, bueno puedo decir con seguridad que es una camara my confiable porque toma fotos muy buenas y la bateria te dura por dias y eso que le daba un uso muy rudo (se me perdio), el video que toma es bastante bueno asi como te permite hacer zoom mientras estas grabando video- esto casi ninguna camara digital lo hace- y es delgada a diferencia de los nuevas dsc t...la compraria otra ves

I think this camera is great!
It just amazes me how people bad mouth things that are not perfect.
I got a great deal for $179.99 at Officemax back in August 2007.

Pros:
Perfect compact size, and takes great pictures. I take it everywhere
Great price!
Everyone I show my pictures too always says, wow you camera takes good pictures".
Easy to use!
Flip the door down to turn on is very cool.

Cons:
I do notice the white spots every now and then, but it is not all the time.
And yes it has a monsterous all in one chord, but so what?
And no one likes the red-eye reduction mode everyone says they go blind from it,
so I had to turn it off. and now all my pics have red eye.

So do not listen to all the bad reviews here, this is a great little camera.
I am very happy with my purchase.

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.
