Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony Cybershot DSC-T9 6MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilization Zoom
Customer Review: Best yet from Sony. This is the one to buy.
Summary: 5 Stars
A while back, I reviewed the T-3 Euro version of the T-33 and it was a fine little camera. However, I wanted to upgrade (isn't that the point?) so I bought a T-9 a few weeks ago. A friend had purchased a T-7 and I was impressed, but when I saw the T-9, I was sold!
The image quality is better, (6+ megapixels!), and this camera includes the "anti-shake" feature. I tested the "anti-shake" extensively on a recent trip to Thailand, as I absolutely h*a*t*e on-camera flash with these small point & shoot cameras. It's never enough and the lighting is far too bright (up close) and washed out. I can tell you, the "anti-shake" works rather well - not perfectly - but you do gain the equivalent of a "stop" or two of light, for all you low-light shooters. You can stretch that by setting the ASA or DIN speeds manually, and the pictures are quite nice. Color rendition is good, producing a very attractive image, and the zoom is the typical 3x. No problems there.
They added a tripod screw on the bottom, dumping the separate plastic base of the T-3 (never used it...). There's a sliding front cover that powers the camera when moved from over the lens, or you can, as I often do, leave the cover down and operate the power button. Either way, the camera powers quite quickly, and battery life is good. I have not noticed any significant decrease in battery life over my T-3, but then I have a separate charger and an extra battery. Nicely, Sony added the separate charger to this set, probably to induce you to buy another battery but that's a smart idea.
I use the leather belt case (same as the T-3) so I did not have to re-invest, and it's very fast. You'll be a real quick draw artist with this camera.
In my T-3 review, I compared the T-3 favorably to the DSC-828 that I have literally retired (using it only for formal events now), and the T-9 is even better. I'd give the 828 away but I don't know who wants a boat anchor now, the T-9 is just that good.
The T-9 is a super camera, as easy to carry everyday as a cell phone with capabilities far beyond cameras 5 times the size (and weight). Features: Red Eye reduction, *HUGE* view screen (really impressive for showing off to your friends what you just shot...), neat carry strap, LARGE internal memory (have to have it with 6 megapixel shots that save as large as 2mb each, but I strongly recommend the 2Gb chip. I keep a number of family and travel pictures on the card (always) to show friends and strangers, and keep about ¾ of the card free for pictures. While traveling on this last trip, I needed to download from my 1 Gb chip several times. It's big but not THAT big, so get the 2 GB chip...you're worth it and so are your vastly improved pictures...
FYI - I shot almost 400 pictures in a week, as I allow that I shot duplicates many times to get the "right" view of a particular shot, and there's always bad ones to delete.
Look for a USB memory stick reader, like the wonderful SanDisk MobileMate MS (the size, literally, of a USB flash drive, i.e. keyring-able), and you're ready.
You can afford this. Think about it. Super small, excellent quality, out of the way...but ALWAYS there. Get it. Or, let me put it another way, "Can you afford less?".
PS What I REALLY like about this camera is that my big 828 scares the pants off my subjects because it's seen (to them) as "professional", yet no one runs away when I pull this little guy out. You can see the differences in their attitude right away.
I get more intimate pictures, with better resolution, using this camera far more frequently, now, than the 828.
