Sony Cybershot DSC-T100 Digital Camera
Sony Cybershot DSC-T100 Digital Camera
Sleek, Ultra-Slim Vertical Design
With silver-accent case in matte silver, sleek black or chic red, the DSC-T100 looks like no other digital camera -- and fits your lifestyle as easily as it slips into your pocket, briefcase, purse or handbag.
8.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD
More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony® Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.
Carl Zeiss® 5X Optical Zoom Lens Design
With 5X power to zoom in on our subject, this ingenious Carl Zeiss® lens design brings you closer to the action -- and optical zoom also operates in movie mode, so the DSC-T100 can follow family sports action with ease. Macro and Magnifying Glass modes are also provided for super-sharp close-ups and miniature hobby photography.
Face Detection
By automatically controlling focus, exposure, color and flash, this new Sony feature reveals faces in shadow, makes skin tones look more natural and eliminates harsh facial glare -- to help bring out every expression on every face in every shot, so you’ll capture the personalities and emotions that make memories come alive.
The Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution
With Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200), the DSC-T100 compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur, brightens images and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood -- and Sony Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction reduces the picture noise that can ruin low-light shots.
3.0”1 Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Screen
The huge, bright 3.0”1 screen of the DSC-T100 is styled to fit flush against the camera back for a clean-line look, with Clear Photo LCD Plus™ design to make photos look more natural even in sunlight.
Simple Setup Controls
A quick press of the Home button opens your user-friendly GUI -- and you can select functions by simply moving a cursor vertically or horizontally to the appropriate icon. Function names and the on-screen Function Guide display make it easier to learn camera setup operations.
HD Output2
Thanks to Sony, your photo album can go high-def -- with direct HD output2 to your HDTV screen, so you can share DSC-T100 still photos with family and friends in spectacular high definition clarity and detail. Your life never looked so exciting!
HD Slide Show with Music
It’s the high-definition viewing experience that makes photos come alive on HDTV screens, accompanied by your choice of visual effects and any of four preset musical selections stored in memory or your favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from PC to your camera for use as background music.
9-Point Auto Focus
Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, the DSC-T100 can measure auto-focus precision at 9 points on your screen -- giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image.
D-Range Optimization
Powered by the exclusive Sony Bionz® high-speed processing engine, D-Range Optimization preserves image data in bright highlights and reveals more detail in shadows or backlit areas -- for great results even in difficult lighting conditions.
In-Camera Retouching
The DSC-T100 lets you add creative effects to photos after you shoot -- including soft edge filter to soften backgrounds, cross filter to place starry “dazzles” at highlight points, partial color filter to mute surrounding colors, even fish-eye filter to create interesting fish-eye lens effects.
In-Camera Red-Eye Reduction
Irritating “glowing eyes” can ruin even the most creative photos -- so the DSC-T100 provides in-camera correction at the touch of a button to reduce lingering red-eye effect that other systems might miss.
31 MB Internal Memory
The DSC-T100 allows you to capture a large number of images without a flash memory card, so it’s great for traveling or for quick candid snapshots.
Memory Stick Duo™ Media Convenience
A built-in slot accepts optional Memory Stick Duo™ media or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media -- the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easily to upload photos to your computer or make lab-quality prints at home on your Sony Picture Station™ digital printer (sold separately).
25X Smart Zoom® Feature4
The Sony Smart Zoom® feature intelligently “crops into” the central portion of interest in your photo, avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.
MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode
Captures VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second5), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.
Stamina® Battery Power
The DSC-T100 provides up to 340 shots3 with a fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery -- enough shooting capacity to cover a long weekend or a whole vacation.
Picture Motion Browser Software
Supplied software makes it easier toupload, organize and search photos on your PC -- and provides a convenient map view function to sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map by using an optional GPS unit.

Sony Cybershot DSC-T100 Digital Camera user reviews
"i've had sony t-100 for a year and a half and it works great. i have no complaints." "
The camera's easily pocketable, all-metal body measures just 0.875-inch thick and weighs a bit more than six ounces. It comes in silver, black, and red, so you can have your choice of colors. Despite its sensibly laid out controls, the DSC-T100 still sacrifices some of its function for form; the camera's buttons feel smaller and more shallow than I would like and can be a bit tricky for large thumbs.
A surprisingly strong heart beats beneath the DSC-T100's slim, shiny exterior. The 8-megapixel camera features a 35mm-to-175mm-equivalent 5x zoom Zeiss lens, a notable upgrade over previous T-series cameras' 3x zoom lenses. Its 3-inch screen supplies an extremely wide view; the display stays clear and colorful, even when looking at it from a near-90-degree angle in any direction. The T100 uses Sony's Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization and can boost its sensitivity to as high as ISO 3,200 for low-light and high-speed shooting. The camera also features a 9-point autofocus mode, an extremely useful feature normally found on much higher-end cameras such as digital SLRs.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100's firmware offers almost as many useful features as its hardware does. Its face-detection mode automatically adjusts exposures when shooting family photos. You can also tweak color, correct red-eye, and even apply different effects such as fish-eye and cross filter, all within the camera. The T100 can also output MP3-playing slide shows to standard definition TVs with the included RCA video cable, or to high-definition TVs with an optional component-video cable. It also works with Sony's CSS-HD1 Cyber-shot Station, a dock with a remote and HD component output support. If you plan on viewing your photos on an HDTV, we highly recommend the component cable or dock option.
In CNET Labs' tests, the DSC-T100 performed exceptionally well. After a quick 1.1-second start-up time, the camera rattled off a new shot every 1.4 seconds. With the flash enabled, however, that time ballooned to almost 3 seconds; the tiny 3.4 watt-hour battery simply can't recycle faster. The shutter responded quickly, lagging just 0.4 second with our high-contrast target and 1.2 seconds with the low-contrast one. The camera's burst mode also worked admirably, snapping 15 shots in 6.6 seconds for a frame rate of 2.3 shots per second. " "
that lets you snap and share photos easily. Innovative technologies like Face Detection, in-camera retouching, D-range optimization and HD (high definition) output expand the possibilities of digital photography - and the Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution lets you shoot in low light without flash to preserve the mood. Its shooting speed is very high 2.2 frames per second continuous shooting. Supports memory stick Duo and PRO Duo as well. Internal memory 31mb. Self timer with 10 sec/2sec delay. Bundelded with additional features like Direct print, USB 2.0 compatibility, built-in speaker, auto power save, digital noise reduction, DPOF support, display brightness control, PRINT Image Matching, PictBridge support, histogram display, in-camera red-eye removal, face detection. I got carry case absolutly free with my purchase"
(Digital IXUS 800 IS) which had great image quality but terrible audio noise on movie mode and lack of useful info on the display. Also had a Fuji F30 - great IQ indoors but not so good outdoors (blown highlights) and poor movie mode and ergonomics.
The T100 has everything - grid lines on the display for framing, basic live histogram, all the shutter speed and aperture info you could need onscreen, great optical image stabilisation, orientation sensor and superb matrix metering (way better than my Nikon D80).
Of particular note is the stunning movie mode: at 30fps you get great image stabilised films and you can optically zoom the 5x lens.
Images aren't as sharp at 100% as the previously mentioned Canon and Fuji - but that comes down to the folded lens. Also high ISO shots are not good - why couldn't this camera have a 6mp fuji sensor?!
As someone else mentioned this isn't the perfect newbie P&S as it selects ISO 400 far too much. But put it on program mode and use ISO 80 and take advantage of the excellent Image stabilisation and you've got a superb tiny camera."
