"Just OK, but that's about it." on by elbenton
Pros: Small, light and easy to carry. Large LCD screen
Cons: No viewfinder, battery does not clip in and battery compartment can be accidentally opened easily
Summary: I had a Canon S30 before this, and I think the S30 took better pictures than the DSC-T1, even at 3 Megapixels vs. 5 for the Sony. In low light, the Sony flash does not illuminate any subject beyond about 8-10 feet. Pictures of people in a restaurant booth will result in the people nearest the camera being illuminated, and the ones farthest away will be darker and blurred if they moved. The battery is not held in place with any clips or even with friction. The battery compartment is easy to accidentally open, resulting in the battery dropping out of the camera. The lack of a viewfinder causes the photographer to hold the camera away from him/her. Not being able to steady the camera against your face while looking through the viewfinder results in some camera shake and unwanted movement. In low light, the lack of a viewfinder requires that the photographer use the pre-flash orange light to frame the subject(s) before shooting. This takes some practice and can be disconcerting, and also esult in some camera shake and unwanted movement

"Ohhh man big mistake" on by xylitolsmint
Pros: Small pocket size; good movie quality
Cons: Bad night photos; red eye is mediocre
Summary: it is a pretty small size camera with 5 megapixels. the pictures come out very well when you are outside during the afternoon. BUT, during the night, the flash is very weak and the SL flash gives horrible pictures. Pictures also tend to drag quite often without flash. Many good options and features. The Red-eye flash reduction does not work what so ever. I recommend getting next years model.

"Disappointing" on by spanswick
Pros: rapid action shots, big screen
Cons: No viewfinder, blurry indoor shots, redeye, sleek design but easy to drop
Summary: Initially, my biggest disappointment with this camera was the blurry indoor shots. I was forced to use a flash which resulted in overexposed photos with redeye. The design is sleek but it is also hard to hold on to. My LCD was broken when I dropped the camera and because there is no viewfinder, there was no way to use the camera even though it still worked fine. Sony would charge $375 to fix, so now I'm in the market for a new camera even though this one is less than one year old and was $500. Because of the blurry photos, I would not have recommended this camera anyway, but there is NO WAY I would ever buy another camera that does not have a viewfinder.

"small, decently performing camera" on by yellowmaranell0
Pros: so freakin' unbelievably tiny, big screen in back as well, internal zoom lens, picture quality is really good if your lighting is, really tiny!
Cons: picture quality is as good as your lighting unless you choose to use flash, which gives you single-plane, pale, red-eyed pictures, the flash itself is a little weak,
