Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T2 Review The 8-megapixel model features 4GB of internal memory and can store up to 40,000 VGA-quality photos or 1,000 8-megapixel pictures, eliminating the need to manage multiple media cards. And, you won’t spend hours trying to find your pictures on this camera.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T2

Design That Makes a Statement:    
With ultra-slim body in black, blue, green, white or pink, the DSC-T2 makes a sleek fit for any lifestyle ? which simplifies camera operation using a 2.7” Widescreen touch-panel LCD that replaces function buttons with easy on-screen icons.


Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T2


8.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD:

More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony® Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical Zoom Lens Design:
An ingenious Carl Zeiss® lens design provides 3X Optical zoom in amazingly compact dimensions -- and even at full zoom the lens doesn’t project beyond the camera body, preserving its ultra-slim styling.

The Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution:
With Super SteadyShot® optical image stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200), the DSC-T2 compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood -- and Sony Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction reduces the picture noise that can ruin low-light shots.

2.7” Clear Photo LCD Display:
Clear Photo LCD design enables the giant 2.7” LCD of the DSC-T2 to display photos with superb clarity and color reproduction -- with AR (anti-reflective) coating for excellent visibility even in bright sunlight.

Touch-Screen Operation:
The DSC-T2’s touch-panel LCD replaces small buttons with simple on-screen icons and a user-friendly interface that make camera operation faster and simpler. You can touch any point on screen, in shooting mode, to focus on the person or object you’ve selected -- and touch and zoom in playback mode to concentrate on your subject.

Face Detection:
Because the face makes the photo, Sony has created Face Detection technology that recognizes up to 8 faces in a photo and automatically controls focus, exposure, color and flash to bring out the best in everyone. Unlike some competitive systems, Sony Face Detection makes skin tones look more natural and reduces red-eye with pre-strobe flash.

Smile Shutter Mode:
In Smile Shutter Mode, the DSC-T2 helps you capture more smiles by shooting automatically when your subject laughs, smiles, even grins. You select the person to watch and the expression to catch -- your Cyber-shot® camera’s Face Detection system and intelligent Smile Shutter algorithm do the rest!

HD Output:
Direct HD output to your Sony Bravia® HDVT or other compatible HDTV screen lets you view DSC-T2 still photos in spectacular clarity and detail.

HD Slide Show with Music:
It’s the high-definition viewing experience that makes photos more entertaining to watch, accompanied by your choice of visual effects and any of four preset musical selections stored in memory or your favorite music downloaded from PC to your camera for use as background music.

9-Point Auto Focus:
Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, the DSC-T2 can measure auto-focus precision at 9 points on your screen -- giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image.

D-Range Optimization:
Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz™ high-speed processing engine, D-Range Optimization preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for great results even in difficult lighting conditions.

In-Camera Red-Eye Reduction:
Irritating “glowing eyes” can ruin even the most creative photos -- so the DSC-T2 provides in-camera correction at the touch of a button to reduce lingering red-eye effect that other systems might miss.

Enhanced Paint Function:
In-camera retouching continues with the ability to “paint” decorative borders, graphic stamps and hand-drawn words or symbols like hearts, stars, arrows and other ways to add charm and fun to photos you save, print or send via e-mail (internet connection required).

4GB Internal Memory:
The DSC-T2 allows you to capture up to 4GB worth of pictures in-camera.

Up to 15X Smart Zoom® Feature:
The Sony Smart Zoom® feature lets the DSC-T2 crop in close on the central portion of interest in your photo while avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.

MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode:
Captures VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second), with length limited to approximately 10 minutes.
