Digital camera reviews of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Black)
Digital camera Review: You won't want to share shapshots without retouching each one...
Summary: 2 Stars
As I sit here for the umpteenth time retouching pictures that were taken by this camera, I wanted to write a review warning other buyers.
No doubt, this camera has the coolest design, easy touchscreen controls with simple menus, and an amazing video function that allows you to zoom while filming and looks great (HD) on playback.
But you will be sorely disappointed by the blurry, overexposed photos that are produced by this camera. I'm no novice; I took a photography class in junior college, but I'm definitely not an expert. Still the photos from this camera annoy me so much that I never carry this camera with me to holidays, parties or anything else - if I do, it stays in my purse because it's seriously not worth the trouble. I have literally stopped being the person with the camera because I don't do anything with the photos afterward (because they suck)! Even on auto-focus, there are blurry rainbows around peoples faces, anything white in the picture is completely blown out exposure wise (glare, hot spots, etc.).
I've tried to create custom settings to control for the overexposure, but that only made the situation worse.
It's really tragic because the video and usability are exceptional on this camera. Nevertheless, I'm going to try to get a replacement since I got the warranty and hope that this is just a dud or something. From the other reviews, it doesn't appear that's the case.
Sure, you'll impress your friends with the touchscreens and video, but I swear you won't be sharing too many of your pics on Facebook or with friends (unless you spend time retouching each one).

Summary of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 12.1 MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Black)
"The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 camera combines style with power and intelligence. At just over 5/8" (16.3mm) thin, the T900 comes in 4 sophisticated colors and has a stylish look. With the T900 taking great pictures is now easier than ever. The iAuto mode goes beyond the traditional auto mode, thinking and working for you; recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, faces, and automatically adjusts camera settings resulting in clearer images, and faces with more natural skin tones and less blur. T900 also features HD Movie mode, recording in 720p and stereo sound for capturing your precious moments on video. Compose, review, and share your memories on the dazzling 3.5" high-resolution (921k pixels) touch-screen LCD. The DSC-T900 offers a step up in features and capabilities from the T90 with a larger and higher quality touch-screen LCD, and HDMI output with the included stand and stereo sound for movie recording.Digital Cameras
