Reviewers Conclusions & Verdicts - (updated 24 November’08)

Digital Camera Review
“In our view, you can’t get anything with more aesthetic appeal at the moment, and so long as you have realistic expectations for the T700’s images, this alone may be reason enough to justify the purchase. If you’re the type who likes to spend time dissecting the details of your shots, however, the T700 will give you plenty to agonize over.”


ImagingResource
“It takes a picky reviewer to be disappointed with the Sony T700’s image quality. The casual photographer with a Sony T700 is mostly going to be looking at resampled, smaller images than full resolution prints — and probably mostly on that gorgeous 3.5-inch screen because the camera can store about 988 high resolution images internally (and over 1,500 medium resolution images).”


RegHardware
“For the most part produces good pictures and offers superb internal storage capacity. But it’s not the easiest of cameras to operate, and you pay for the slim design and large LCD screen with a shorter battery life.”

“It looks great and will appeal anyone who is style conscious. Looking at the price tag I expect outstanding picture quality. The Sony DSC T700 does not quite hit those heights, but is still more than capable of decent snapshots.”

DPExpert
“This camera is a surprise. We took one look at it and thought: “Party fashion accessory” and expected nothing from it. However, behind the eye-catching, feminine appearance there lurks a decent camera. The touch screen goes beyond the gimmicky into the seriously useful, but we’re not sure that we could live with a camera that always looks smudgy with finger prints.”


TrustedReviews
“Has excellent build quality, respectable performance and image quality that will be more than sufficient for most casual snapshot situations. It has some useful and entertaining features, but its primary feature is its style.”

CNET Australia
“For everyday situations, picture quality is relatively good, with strong but not overly saturated colours captured in a variety of situations. There is, however, a loss of sharpness at some exposures, and when viewing at increased magnifications.”

PhotoReview
“Exposures were generally well-balanced and metering was accurate in a wide variety of shooting conditions. The test camera seemed capable of covering a slightly wider dynamic range than many other small-sensor digicams we’ve reviewed.”

CNET
“Overall, the experience offered by the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 is enjoyable, especially if your main objective is to shoot lots of pictures in good light and then show lots of people the pictures you took.”

“We’ve owned point and shoots in the past but my how far they’ve come. This one is so easy to use it’s mind boggling. If you don’t want to mess with settings it’s as simple as point, shoot and be amazed.”

“I settled on this camera and I am glad I did, it has the same processor as the A100, it’s 10.2 Mp just like my DSLR, but it’s less than 6oz, it has 4G of internal memory, the LCD is larger and it’s all metal, so it’s perfect to just carry around all day.”

“I’ve had it for about 2 weeks and have no complains whatsoever. The camera itself has 4gb of internal memory and I can view my pictures on my 1070 HD TV and they all look amazing. It has so many features and you would definitely not expect that coming from a camera that size. This camera is absolutely fabulous, so I am very glad I invested in this little gadget.”
