Sony’s Cyber-shot T-series has proven popular in the market thanks to designs with slim, compact bodies, and an emphasis on ease of use (while still allowing a fair degree of control over the final image). The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 is an update to the existing DSC-T30 model. Both cameras include the same image-stabilized 3x optical zoom lens, branded with the famous Carl Zeiss name and coupled with a 7.2 effective megapixel CCD imager.

The Super Steady Shot technology minimizes blur caused by shaky hands, while the high light sensitivity (ISO 1000) mode reduces blur by shooting at faster shutter speeds. There’s even an added defense with Sony’s Clear RAW™ noise reduction system, which kicks in to counter picture noise associated with high-sensitivity shooting.

As with other T-series cameras, you simply slide the lens cover down and the camera is ready to capture images in seconds. Sony’s ultra-fast Real Imaging Processor circuitry increases the camera’s efficiency for quicker start-up, faster shot-to-shot times, higher-quality movie capture, and longer battery life. The supplied InfoLithium battery provides plenty of power for up to 400 shots per full charge.
