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: Battery trouble
Summary: 2 Stars
My daughter discovered when you place this camera in the case toe scerrn lights up when the bottom edge (oppisite the wrist strap) toufches the bottom of the case, when you start to pull the camera from the case the screen goes black, thus uvery time she goes to use the camera it is either dead or very low on battery charge not much use to her with this condition, we sent it to sony they said there was no problem with the camera, we went to BestBuy tried thier display camera and guess what same problem the salesman couldnt believe what he was seeing long story short we have a camera that is useless to us unless you want tochance carrying it without a case by the wasy we have tried 2 different casesDigital camera Review: Buy it now!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Buy this camera. Small and easy to use. Took it on a trip to Europe. Worked great and took great pictures. In auto mode, it does all the work for you and just takes a great picture.Digital camera Review: Crowd pleaser
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this camera for about a month and never really used it. I recently went to Austin, Tx to see some friends and by the end of the night I had left it out on the table and wandered off. When I came back several people were playing with it and were asking me all sorts of questions. They were amazed by the 720p video and the zoom functionality of it. It is a pretty easy camera to figure out, since I never read owners manuals that is a plus!I am ready for my next outing with it. Great camera!Digital camera Review: Don't buy it! Picture noisier and less sharp then the DSC-T300
Summary: 2 Stars
I own both the DSC-T300 and the DSC-T900. (I am returning the T900) The 900 takes a noisier, fuzzier picture then the T300. On a side by side comparison, their is no comparison! The T900 is twice as noisy and takes a less detailed picture. Why? Sony made the lens smaller. The 12 megapixels are of no use, compared to the 10 megapixel DSC-T300. The smaller lens cannot gather enough light to overcome the noise. Sony also repackaged the camera making it lighter and thinner then the DSC-T300. The only effect that had was to reduce the optical zoom to 4x instead of 5x. I bought the T900 because of the stereo sound, 720p movie mode. But please, save your money, the camera might be feature rich, but it takes terrible pictures. Update 8/16/2009... Sony has just introduced the DSC-TX1/H. It has many more new features. Check out the video here on Amazon. It uses a CMOS 10 megapixel sensor instead of the older 12 megapixel CCD sensor. This sensor will be much better in low light conditions. Most of the latest DSLRs use CMOS sensors. Don't expect DSLR quality, :) but it should outperform the T900 and the T300. Finally Sony is addressing the real issues. Don't be fooled by buying a point and shoot camera by the number of megapixels. Small sensors become less light sensitive as the megapixel count rises. Sony should be applauded for using a 10mp CMOS sensor in the new DSC-TX1/H instead of trying to keep the pixel count at 12 megapixels. Bottom line: Stay away from the DSC-T900. A few more bucks will get you a much better Sony Cybershot.Digital camera Review: Feature Packed but Quality Lacked :(
Summary: 3 Stars
First I have to say that this is my 4th Sony cybershot camera, I have also had nikon and cannon cameras.
The Good:
It's fast, feels great, feature packed, very compact and slim, screen looks amazing, feels solid, HD Video, steady shot, and much more
The really bad:
It's video and still photos have a ridiculous amount of Chromatic aberration also known as purple fringing. 50% of photos taken with any bright light source in it has purple all over. While this may have been tolerated 7 years ago in Sony cameras, it shows how out of date or how cheap Sony is being when it come to quality lenses or proper R&D. For a nearly $400 camera, Sony customers should demand much much more.
While this camera would've been my favorite point and shoot camera to date, my final recommendation would be to stear clear of this model and it's sister the T90
Sony, it's time to wake up and provide the quality that we deserve
