Manufacturer's Description
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 is an ultra-slim digital camera that combines Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and Smile Shutter technology with the convenience of a portable photo album. Take your entire photo library with you and share your pictures on the dazzling, ultra bright 3.5-inch high resolution touch-screen LCD display. Cyber-shot DSC-T700 Highlights 10.1-megapixel Super HAD CCD image sensorA powerful 10.1-megapixel, 1/2.3-inch Super HAD CCD image sensor helps you capture gorgeous images with superb contrast and clarity down to the finest detail. With 10.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo-quality prints up to A3 size, or crop your images and still come away with high-resolution shots. 3.5-inch Xtra Fine LCD touch-screen displayCompose images on a dazzling 3.5-inch LCD display and use the touch screen to navigate menus, specify focus points, and more. When you've finished shooting, show off your images with spectacular clarity. Featuring 921K pixels, the ultra-bright, high-contrast LCD screen with a wide viewing angle is among the highest resolution screens available on a compact digital camera, and displays your images with astonishing visual clarity. Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4x optical zoom lensThe newly-developed Carl Zeiss Vario- Tessar lens enables close-up shooting up to just under 1/2-inch (1cm) from the subject (in Magnifying Glass Mode), while the optical 4x telescopic zoom offers superior visual acuity for a compact digital camera. BIONZ imaging processorThe BIONZ Imaging Processor delivers the high resolution and fast performance you expect from a Sony digital camera. Ultra-slim designThe DSC-T700 packs a lot of performance into an ultra-slim design. Measuring just over 5/8-inch (16.4mm), the DSC-T700 is slim enough to slip into a pocket, so you can take it with you wherever you go. Face Detection technologyFace Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and controls flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to deliver accurate, natural skin tones with reduced red-eye for beautiful images of family and friends. Face Detection can even distinguish between children and adults, so you can prioritize the camera’s focus on children in the scene for clear images of their memorable moments. Smile Shutter technologyThe popular Smile Shutter technology automatically detects and captures smiling faces. Simply choose the Smiley Face feature and the camera will capture a smile the moment it happens. You can also select subject priority (Adult or Child Priority or touch subject on screen) and indicate the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity to high (small smile), medium (laugh) or low (grin). Double Anti-blur SolutionThe combination of Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and High ISO sensitivity helps compensate for shaky hands, minimizes blur and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood.

Optical SteadyShot image stabilizationOptical SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality. High Sensitivity ISO 3200High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take pictures indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to eight ISO settings (Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting conditions. Intelligent Scene RecognitionIntelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects eight different types of scenes and selects the appropriate camera settings: Backlight, Backlight Portrait, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Twilight using a Tripod, Portrait, Landscape and Macro. iSCN has 2 modes: Advanced and Auto. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advance Mode, the camera takes a picture with the current settings and only if necessary takes a second picture with optimized setting. Dynamic Range Optimizer Standard and PlusDynamic Range Optimizer (DRO) Standard and Plus uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine the best exposure and contrast settings for almost any shooting environment. The result is more natural images with clearer details that more closely match what your naked eye sees. DRO is particularly effective when shooting backlit portraits or any scene with a dramatic contrast between background and foreground lighting. DRO Plus allows for even greater optimization by analyzing each region of an image and performing additional image processing. Additional Features

Customer Reviews Sony Cybershot DSC-T700 10.1MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom with Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization (Red)From Sony
Great for on the go picture taking and especially HD aspect ratio shooting The picture quality is probably as good as it gets with a slim camera. I'm going to review this based on the following: 1. Size - The camera is about the size of an iPhone, but maybe around 3/4 of inch shorter. It's very small and very thin, but because the framing is mostly metal, it a little heavier than you would expect. However, having said that, it's very sturdy. 2. Convenience - So this is a mixed bag of good and bad...The camera is small and strudy, but it is a touchscreen so I would recommend a plastic sticker or film to lace over that part. IN addition, the touchscreen is not electro-capacitive (I'm not sure if that's the right term) so you have to "tap" and you will not be able to "touch" the screen for a response. This is not too much of a problem because the included lanyard has a stylus sttachment. I find it far more convenient to just use my fingers, but depending on how you handle the camera, it may not be in issue. 3. Quality - I'm no expert, but I think most pictures can be blown up to at least 5x7 without much of a problem. One of the big perks that I love about this camera is that it has an HD Aspect Ratio that allows pictures you take to fit newer monitors without stretching/tiling the pic. I find that I don't see that many red eye pics and oddly enough, the smiling recognition does a decent job. 4. Storage - MS Pro Duo, either love it or hate it...but with this model you have the option to use the internal 4gigs inside..unfortunately there is no cohesive way for the camera to deal with both the internal and any external pro duo cards you use. Without going into the manual much, basically it's one or the other. Overall, I really like this camera and it is simple enough that you almost don't mind the limitations of the touchscreen. One of these days, I hope they build touchscreens on cameras with as much care as an iPhone..that would be a killer sale...convenience and size...
Terrible image quality - shame on you Sony I was a big Sony fan until I got this camera. I returned it and got a Canon. The touchscreen and the features are really cool, but the image quality was terrible. I could not believe Sony marketed this camera. I even went to a store to try another one, thinking it was just a defective item, but it wasn't. You can tell from the LCD screen that the image quality is bad. Please try it and compare with other brands or the Sony DSC-W150 before buying. On auto mode, it is quite inconsistent, sometimes shooting with 800 ISO and ruining the picture. On manual/program it is more consistent, of course, but the pictures are grainy and reddish. It's a waste of megapixels. I compared this camera with an old 3MP Cyber-shoot I had, both indoors and outdoors with a tripod and the same settings. The old 3MP camera beat this camera, hands down. I cannot believe the positive reviews either. Maybe CNET gives a hint: "DSC-T700 will satisfy those who like showing off their pictures as much as they like taking them." I would add: "and those who never look at the pictures they are taking."
Great compact point and shoot I purchased this camera in a pinch back in November 2008. I was heading to the SEMA show in Vegas, and my ancient Sony P-10 was starting to show its age. I didn't want to lug my Canon DSLR around, so I went shopping for a nice and compact P&S. The size of the camera is similar to a cell phone. I use my T-Mobile G1's soft case for the Camera instead of the phone. The picture quality is superb (as expected from upper tier cybershot cameras) in most situations. Like usual, shooting in dim light and in the dark don't work out for Sony Cameras... it's definitely leaps and bound better than the previous ones I've owned though (this is Cybershot number 5 in my household). The on-board 4gb of storage is great. It's meant to serve as a photo album. A memory stick duo should be used for normal shoots, while the on-board storage should be used for small resolution photo galleries. 4gb of duo in addition to 4gb of on-board memory should be enough for most. The touch-screen interface is decent. The only gripe I have is that is smudges quite easily. Aside from that, it functions well. Overall, it's a great ultra compact P&S model. It gets the job done for general use and has a very nice form and feel. The metallic casing shows its position in the cybershot line. Definitely recommended, especially at the current Amazon price ($270) at the time of this review. I purchased it for $385. and would do the same again if needbe.
