Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300 (Red)

Pros: Provides true HD output when Cybershot Station CSS-HD2 is used

Cons: It is easy for a finger to hit the touchscreen menu display when taking a photo

Summary: The pictures that I have taken thus far (about three weeks of use) are what I would expect for a 10 Meg camera. In particular, the output to my HDTV is spectacular when using the Cybershot docking unit. This was the feature that was most in my wants when shopping for a camera. Another plus factor for me is the availability of Wide-End Conversion Lens which takes the camera's wide view to app. a 25mm lens. I have always found that I take more wide shots than telephoto. You can always crop to get a telephoto view, but you can't add width to a photo if it was not there when the shot ws taken. The conversion lens (VCL-DEO7TB)is small and also pocketable making it easily available when I want to use it.

As for the photos, I have not observed the noise mentioned in CNET's review. That review almost prevented me from purchasing this camera. In fact, I purchased it where I knew the return policy would not be a hassle in case I found the photos to be unacceptable. This is not the case. I recommend that if the features of the camera are what you want, buy one and try it for yourself. Just be sure of the return policy in case you decide to return the camera. I'm betting that you will not find that you want to!
