DigitalTrends - 3/26/2007 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 and here’s the verdict - “With its optical image stabilization, 3-inch touch screen LCD, sleek design and overall performance, the DSC-T50 is highly recommended. Just don’t expect all of your indoor shots taken without a flash to be museum quality.”
PhotographyReview - 3/21/2007 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 and here’s the verdict - “The Cyber-shot DSC-T50 is a nice, comfortable, pocket-sized digital camera with good auto exposure metering and image quality. The Auto mode works well and the 3-inch touchscreen LCD makes the camera a joy to use. The camera performed very well in low light, aided by Sony’s Super SteadyShot image stabilization. It’s got a solid feel and the compact size is perfect, in my opinion. I would prefer more manual control but the T50 performs very well and I can happily recommend this camera for anyone that wants a good digital point-and-shoot.”
Cameras.co.uk - 11/21/2006 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 and here’s the verdict - “As pocket sized digital cameras go the Sony DSC T50 is one of the best. A lot of people will be attracted by the touch LCD screen, but there are many other plus points that should not be overlooked. These include picture quality, build quality and image stabilization.”
DPInterface - 11/17/2006 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 and here’s the verdict - “The new touchscreen is not fully for the better, in my opinion. While there’s the new (and a little gimmicky) “paint” feature, there’s more bad than good. The protective layer has been removed so you can tap the screen (also adding a risk of it cracking when in your pocket without a case), less buttons on the side means a more slippery surface and you can’t quickly change a bunch of settings without using both hands and a lot of taps. My conclusion is the Sony Cyber-shot T50 is a nice camera, albeit for showing off using the big touchscreen which apparently is the craze nowadays (especially on cellphones), but other than that, I’d certainly consider the less expensive T30 instead which has 99% of this camera’s features and functions.”

PCMag - 11/1/2006 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 and they write - “All in all, the Cyber-shot DSC-T50 does a very good job of taking pictures, and it has decent performance as well. But it doesn’t quite match the great results produced by competitors such as the Canon PowerShot SD550 Digital Elph.”
Steve’s Digicams - 10/12/2006- has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel, 3 inch LCD, 3x optical zoom, and image stabilized Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 and they write - “The image quality of the T50’s 7-megapixel images is very good. Our outdoor samples showed nice exposure and pleasing color saturation. Images are also sharp, thanks to the 5 Area Multi-point AF system and its high-quality Carl Zeiss 3x optical zoom lens. While offering a typical focal range of 38 - 114mm (35mm equivalent), it offers quite a bit of versatility in composing your shots. The 38mm wide angle extreme works well for outdoor landscape shots and group portraits, while the telephoto capabilities are nice for close-up individual portraits. The lens exhibits moderate barrel distortion at wide angle, but virtually no pincushioning at the telephoto end. Image noise was very low in areas of contrast, when the ISO setting is 200 or below. ISO 400 wasn’t too bad, but 800 and 1000 are very noisy. Luckily, this model features Sony’s Steady Shot technology, so you’ll be able to capture blur-free images in lower lighting, without having to boost the sensitivity above ISO 400 very often.”
Imaging Resource - 9/28/2006 - has reviewed the 7.2 megapixel, 3 inch LCD, 3x optical zoom, and image stabilized Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 and they write - “The ultimate judgement will have to await a complete test of a production-level model, but the Sony T50 looks like another winner. I personally dislike the touch-screen interface, but have to acknowledge that a lot of people really like it, so don’t take my word for it. Find one in a store someplace and play with it to see what you think of it yourself. (Or, if you already know you like touch screens, just click through to one of the retailers listed below and buy yourself one, at great internet prices. 
Touch screen bias aside, this looks like a great little digital camera, with a huge, beautiful LCD screen and great anti-shake technology built in. The slightly larger body also gives it better battery life and much better flash range than the similar T10 model. Based on what we saw in our casual usage of the Sony T50, it actually expands on the capabilities of the T10.”

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 Initial Press Release
SONY’S NEW CYBER-SHOT DIGITAL STILL CAMERAS HELP MASTER THE ART OF STORYTELLING
Cyber-shot DSC-T50 and DSC-N2 digital cameras, featuring three-inch touch-screen displays and built-in slide show capability.
The new models’ extra-large screens with intuitive menu options allow for less physical buttons on the camera bodies, resulting in a sleeker design. They also incorporate Sony’s Clear Photo Plus LCD technology for higher resolution (230K), higher contrast and optimal viewing from various angles.
You can use your photos to craft dynamic, personal narratives with in-camera slide shows – complete with your own music and transition effects such as pans, wipes and fades.
“ With digital photography, the social interaction that happens when people share their pictures has become as important as making great photographs,†said Phil Lubell, director of marketing for digital still cameras and photo printers at Sony Electronics. “Large, durable, scratch-resistant touch screens with enhanced photo-viewing capabilities are a means to ensuring that photo buffs get the maximum enjoyment out of using their cameras.â€
High-Tech Features for Creative Sharing The ultra-slim and stylish DSC-T50 model is the new top-of-the-line camera in the T-series. It is equipped with a seven-megapixel CCD imager, a Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 3x optical zoom lens, and 56 MB of internal memory. This camera shines with its performance and looks, shipping in bold red, black and silver. With pictures stored on an optional four-gigabyte Memory Stick Duoâ„¢ or Memory Stick PRO Duoâ„¢ media cards, the camera can play back more than 1,100 high-resolution images in slide show mode.
The elegant DSC-N2 camera debuts in champagne gold and is a ten-megapixel powerhouse with an extending Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar 3x optical zoom lens. With its built-in photo album function, this model can be a photo diary in your pocket, loaded with up to 500 of your favorite images.
Every time you snap a picture, the DSC-N2 model will store a full-resolution image on the optional media card or in the camera’s 25 MB of internal memory. Additionally, it automatically resizes that same image in VGA resolution and stores it in a portion of the camera’s internal memory dedicated to pocket album. No matter how many pictures are offloaded from the media card, you can choose to protect the images you want to keep and, over time, you have a collection of your favorite shots in the camera.
Taking great photos with the DSC-T50 and DSC-N2 cameras will be as enjoyable as sharing them. With shutter lag reduced to milliseconds, you can snap away until the whole story is told. Sony’s Real Imaging Processor circuitry delivers fast response times and helps to prolong the life of the cameras’ supplied Stamina InfoLithium batteries — up to 400 shots per full charge for the DSC-T50 model and 300 shots per full charge for the DSC-N2 camera.
Blur the Storylines, Never the Photos These new models feature blur reduction technologies to help you get the shots you want, even in some of the most challenging conditions.
The Cyber-shot DSC-T50 camera offers Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization to minimize blur caused by shaky hands. Both of the new models incorporate high light sensitivity, up to IS0 1000 for the DSC-T50 camera and IS0 1600 for the DSC-N2 model, to facilitate shooting without blur at faster shutter speeds– a necessity when capturing fast-moving subjects or taking photos in low-light environments.
Print and Share You can spark your audience’s imaginations even further with one of Sony’s print and share solutions. Tell your story one snapshot at a time, from the convenience of your own home, with the Sony DPP-FP55 photo printer. Or, order multiple digital prints at www.imagestation.com, have them delivered to your home or pick them up at retail, and weave a yarn that’s sure to impress your family and friends.
The Cyber-shot DSC-T50 camera ships in October for about $500. Optional accessories include the HVL-RLS ring light, used for close-up shots, for about $100, NP-FR1 InfoLithium battery, and LCJ-THA leather carrying case for about $40.
