Do you know any bad or good things on sony cybershot T9 (6MP)digicam. It looks so amazingly beautiful despite lacking an optical viewfinder. If you have one and aware of any drawbacks, plizz post ur comments.

Ohh sure...I can borrow my Nikon 50mm F 1.8 lens...it's been unused for more than a year, but it's a fast lens to do photography in low light settings.

This camera is one of the best I have tested in the last 6 years.

As an adjunct faculty member at FAU a south Florida +25,000 student university, teaching "Principles of Digital Photography" and authored/published a book with the same name, with Pearson Education, Inc., 2003, I have tested hundreds digital cameras that have been offered to the public in recent years, and this one is truly unbelievable.

One must understand that all cameras cannot do all things regardless of price and size. Digital SLRs, like Canon's 1DsMk2, which I proudly own and consider the very best digital SLR on planet Earth, can execute most imaging tasks beautifully; however you cannot place it in your pocket, does not have built-in flash, and cannot make a video!! Comparing the image quality and color to other similarly priced cameras, both seem better than on previous SONY "T" series units (the T1, T11, T3, T33, T5, T7) in their 6-step progression to the T9. The brightness on the LCD panel is also better and has two brightness levels; The LCD also seems to have a protective covering on its surface. The flash also seems a bit stronger, and the imager noise is significantly lower. Understand that the tiny built-in flash is effective for groups of 3-6 people placed within 8' or less of the camera, period; any further, other than fill-in flash and the results will be less disappointing than in prior versions. It is hard to imagine than so much technology can be contained within this truly thin package. This version has an OPTICAL IMAGE STABILIZER that really works in both Still image and Movie Modes. The large and bright LCD panel is great for sharing images with friends after the picture is taken; a suggestion for SONY is that the automated viewing (post image) is too short, internally set to about 2 seconds, and not adjustable; this should be an adjustable feature, which can be corrected by a simple SONY "firmware" upgrade.

Most critics do not make mention of the Software; Be it known SONY has one of the best (included) software packages available; Install the software one time; then plug in the camera into an available USB post, turn on the camera, and in 5,4,3,2,1 seconds the images and movies, begin their migration into a unique folder in the hard-drive, in a subdirectory in "My Pictures" with today's date as the folder name. Could not be a simpler process.

If you want to see some T9 sample images you can go to http://www.416-1100.com/Test%20Images%20-%20Digital%20Equipment%20Testing/73537. Images will be added periodically so check back often; and while you're there look around at other images posted at your pleasure.

Khaobaddi musta richie rich !!!
PErhaps he should donate some of his old gear to us, the poor one, esspecially me. Thank you in advance for your generosity.

No more Sony for me !!

So, what did we come up to as conclusion? Do you guys recommend T9. Outputs from ppl who already own one would be highly appreciated.

Do anybody have idea about following camera,

KONICA MINOLTA Z6 Champagne 6.0 MP Digital Camera 1/2.5" CCD 2.0" 114K LCD 12X Optical Zoom 4X Digital Zoom, Price- $300.00

Thanks

Cheers,l

canon is da best...although i don't have one yet.

I find LCD panels of all digital cameras to be misleading or are at least inaccurate at default setting when it comes to actual brightness of pics. If people boost the brightness of LCD panel of their cameras I guess they'll get even more frustrated to see that the actual pics (after downloading to their computers) were not as bright as what they saw on LCD panels of their camera.

After getting these frustrating results I have reduced the brightness of LCD panel of my camera by 1 EV(Exposure Value) instead of boosting the brightness of LCD panel. Now, what I see on LCD panel of my camera is what I actually get. Therefore if I get underexposed pics, it shows more accurately right away on the LCD panel of my camera so I can make necessary changes and shoot again to get brighter pics.
