What Digital Camera Magazine - 6/20/2007 - reviews the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T20 and writes, “The touch-screen is incredibly fun to use too, not only allowing you to change settings but – using the included stylus – you can also draw onto your images, apply filter effects and even add a frame from a selection of sometimes-ghastly border effects.

Yet the T20’s performance is lacklustre, with a four-second start-up and an AF system that’s steady rather than speedy. There’s also a slight delay when storing and retrieving images.”

Pocket-lint - 2/12/2007 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera the Pentax Optio T20 and here is the verdict, “We love the design, we love the concept, we love the picture quality, and we especially love the large touch screen on the back, however we don’t love the fact that it takes so long to take pictures that you miss the action. Even when we were just trying to snap a group of friends in the bar it was embarrassingly slow.”

TrustedReviews - 1/5/2007 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera the Pentax Optio T20 and here is the verdict - “The Pentax Optio T20 could have been a much better camera. It is stylish, well made and the touch-screen technology is well implemented and has some genuinely useful features. However very slow performance, severely limited battery duration and the annoying AF monitor-freeze are major handicaps that are impossible to ignore.”

PCW - 11/30/2006 - has reviewed the 7 megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera the Pentax Optio T20 and here is the verdict - “Image quality is good, with natural-looking colours and pleasing levels of detail from such a physically small lens. Build quality is excellent. Constructed from a shiny aluminium alloy with rounded edges, it’s both sturdy and stylish while thin enough to be easily pocketable.

The Optio T-20 lacks image stabilisation, but the new ISO-800 produces usable results and while it’s not much of a step up from the Option T-10, it costs considerably less than the T-10 did when we reviewed it – making it a much better value proposition.”
