“The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 is a solid shooter with plenty of appeal. The big touch-screen LCD makes interacting with the camera a pleasure, and it has plenty of cool (if unnecessary) extras, like in-camera editing and various modes like smile and blink detection. Keep in mind, however, that with its shutter lag you might miss some photo ops, and with its power-sucking screen, battery life isn’t as long as with other point-and-shoot cameras. Overall, though, the T700 delivers in the most critical way a camera can: It takes good, sharp pictures with a minimum of noise and a maximum of rich, realistic colors.” [PCMag.com | Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700]

The T700 was a runner-up on dpreview.com’s Ultra Compact Group test. Nice overall design, great image quality, responsive touchscreen display, and 4GB internal memory are the great features of the T700. If you don’t mind the rather short battery life, standard resolution video recording, and the high price, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 is a very nice digital camera to consider.
