Product Description:

With 8.1-Megapixel the DSC-T20 delivers clarity to group photos and snapshots for greater detail in big prints. The Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens design along with Face Detection feature optimizes natural tones in faces. High Definition output makes photos look even more spectacular when you share them with friends and family on your HDTV screens. Sony Super HAD(TM) (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise. With Super SteadyShot(R) Image Stabilization and high sensitivity ISO 3200, the DSC-T20 compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur, brightens images and allows flash-free shooting. Sony Clear RAW Noise Reduction reduces the picture noise that can ruin low-light shots. The DSC-T20 lets you add creative effects to photos after you shoot including soft edge filter to soften backgrounds, cross filter to place starry dazzles at highlight points, partial color filter to mute surrounding colors, even fish-eye filter to create interesting fish-eye lens effects. The DSC-T20 provides up to 380 shots with a fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery. 1/2.5-inch Super HAD(TM) CCD Imaging Device Exposure Compensation - 1/3 EV Step Increments Focal Length - 6.33 - 19 mm 35mm Equivalent - 38 - 114 mm Focus - 9 Area Multi-Point AF, Center AF, Spot AF Shutter Speed - 1/4-1/1000 seconds (Auto), 1-1/1000 seconds (Program Auto) Aperture Range - f3.5-5.6 (W), f4.3-10 (T) Self-Timer - 10 seconds, 2 seconds & Off White Balance - Automatic, Cloudy, Daylight, Fluorescent 1, Fluorescent 2, Fluorescent 3, Incandescent & Flash Power Save Mode - After 3 minutes of inactivity In-Camera Editing - Red-eye reduction HD 1080i Output Flash Modes - Auto, Forced On, Forced Off, Slow Synch Scene Modes - Beach, Fireworks, High Sensitivity, High Speed Shutter, Landscape, Snow, Soft Snap, Twilight & Twilight Portrait Operating Sys

Waste of money2008-12-16
This camera takes worse pictures than my old 3MP camera.!!! Pictures are grainy and out of focus. Especially indoor pictures, very bad.
SuperSteady shot Camera2008-09-22
You can go 40km per hr, and still get national geographic photos with this awesome camera! It's super Fab! I just bought this for the second time (first cam was stolen after 6 months) and tried a few newer cameras, different models and brands, and decided to hunt down this camera. All the stores told me they are discontinued, so I was SO happy when I found a couple for sale online!
High recommended! No flash required, Awesome pics every time!
Don't lose the moment you want to capture!2008-06-27
The camera is nice and small, definitely an advantage over my old one.

I'm annoyed Sony has to have their own memory card rather than using the SD chip I'm used to - cost me another $70.

My biggest complaint is the menus. They are not intuitive at ALL. My old Kodak has a dial to switch between capture modes. This could be done quickly with ease so I could take a picture and then 5 seconds later start recording a video.

This thing...I was actually too embarrassed to use one night because the event I wanted pictures of had already started and the thing was so noisy with it's little beeps and boops and I couldn't quietly find out how to turn the sound off so as to not disturb those around me.

There is nothing intuitive about switching modes on this thing. Scrolls do not loop bottom/top right/left, so to get to movie mode you've got four buttons to hit.

I've had the camera for two months now and I still have trouble switching modes. You don't go to select, and then hit right to scroll through options. You go to select, OK (which since you haven't done anything is the last thing you think of, THEN hit "Menu" and scroll through options.

And if you want to go back to standard auto, it's not on that selector, it's got a standalone menu.

Every time I try and scroll through options I'm met with error messages that the current mode doesn't support flash/closeup, since the right/left buttons double as the 'quick set' for those, respectively. Of course, I'm not trying to change flash settings at all, just move from ISC/landscape whatever to standard photo.

I don't know how many amazing shots I've missed or had come out blurry because I was in the wrong mode and it took me so long to navigate to the correct mode that I missed the great shot. It may take great pictures, but menus HAVE to be intuitive if you're going to take great pictures of the moments you want.
Excellent Point and Shoot Camera2008-05-06
I purchased this camera after Christmas, so I have had it almost six months. I am very impressed with this camera (I have the silver one that I had purchased at Staples on sale).

>My only problem with this camera is the battery. I have a difficult time keeping it charged. If I want to minimize battery usage, I try to keep my picture viewing at a minimum. For the most part, I can get away with using it for five days until I need to recharge it.

>The screen is amazing, but I am always nervous it might get a scratch on it, because it is so large. It currently has fingerprints all over the screen, which is understandable due to it's large size. (I do not have the touchscreen version)

>My favorite part is the "Program Auto" mode that is on the Home Menu. I find the "White Balances" settings on it to be extremely useful. You can change it from Flourescent 1, 2, 3, Daylight, Cloudy, Incandescent, or Auto. This is the best way for me to get excellent photos in a house (or even outside). I used to leave my camera on the auto mode, but now it's always on Program Auto so I can change the light settings. For me, I think it's as good as the invention of sliced bread!

This is a wonderful camera if you don't mind charging it often. I would highly suggest you buy a spare battery when you get this camera, to save you in case the original dies on you. As I stated earlier, I have enjoyed this camera since December, and plan to use it for many, many months to come. If you are searching for an easy, useful, point-and-shoot camera, it's a good option for you.

Muy buena cámara!2008-02-20
Necesitaba una cámara buena, pequeña y moderna. Pues esta tiene todo lo que busco. Muy buena cantidad de Mp, la pantalla con buena imagen, fotos de buena calidad, lo mas importante es la duración de la bateria, con ella puedo hacer muchisimos disparos. Me dura más del triple que duraba la anterior. La recomiendo por encima de la cámara de toque en la pantalla, pues la bateria dura mucho mas... La recomiendo 100%

Core 2 Duo Scaling
Laptop Scaling Intel's Core 2 Duo is easily the best mobile processor on the market today, boasting sky-high performance and low power consumption. But which CPU is for you: the super expensive T7600, the bargain-priced T5500, or something in between? This article will first take a look at the various versions of Core 2 Duo that Intel has to offer. We will compare Core 2 Duo clocked at four speed grades: 2.33GHz, 2.16GHz, 2GHz, and 1.83GHz in a variety of benchmarks and let you know how to get your best bang for the buck. Note: We will refer to a Core 2 Duo “T7000�multiple times in this article. We were unable to get a Merom sample with 2MB L2 cache, thus we lowered the clock speed of our 4MB L2 model to 1.83GHz to perform near that of the T5600 (1.83GHz, 2MB L2 cache), resulting in our unofficial “T7000�nomenclature. The Core 2 Duo Processor Intel has two lines of Core 2 Duo processors: notebook and desktop. Core 2 Duo for notebooks is codenamed Merom, while Core ...
Professional video camera
A Professional video camera (often called a Television camera even though the use has spread) is a high-end device for recording electronic moving images (as opposed to a movie camera, that records the images on film). Originally developed for use in television studios, they are now commonly used for corporate and educational videos, music videos, direct-to-video movies, etc. There are two types of professional video cameras: High end portable, recording cameras (essentially, high-end camcorders) used for ENG and EFP image acquisition, and studio cameras which lack the recording capability of a camcorder, and are often fixed on studio pedestals. Portable professional cameras are generally much larger than consumer cameras and are designed to be carried on the shoulder. Technology It is common for professional cameras to split the incoming light into the three primary colors that humans are able to see, feeding each color into a separate pickup tube (in older cameras) or charge ...
