Oh yes

Why haven't you got one of these. It's the best bargin you'll ever get with 'Sony' stamped on it. Everything that the other reviewers say is true. It even fits my ancient, but excellent, 1980s SLR camera.

Not suitable for the W range of cybershot cameras

This is a well made, practical and good value case from Sony.

Unfortunately it is not suitable for the W series cybershot camera for which I purchased it (it is specifically listed for this model) as the case is simply too large and unless wrapped up the camera would bounce around inside.

There are good fabric and leather alternatives for the W series available from Amazon, so do buy the specific case for your model.

False Advertising

The case displayed in the advertisment is not the case that was dispatched. In fact it was nothing like it. The picture displayed a black leather looking case and i received a black cloth case with blue piping.

The case dispatched has the correct product code but is not representative of the item listed for sale.

Nice camera, good pictures, but confusing menu system...

We've had this camera for about a week and overall we're very pleased with it. There are no problems connecting it to our iMac using iPhoto (good as there's no software for Macs supplied with the camera) and the pictures it takes are very, VERY good... But... And there's always a but! The menu system is SO frustrating... You'd really have thought that having a touch screen would have meant a simplified menu system which was easy and intuitive to use, but it's really not. Some of the icons are just plain obscure and some of the features seem buried deep within the menu system accessible only after reading through the manual. The touch screen itself isn't particularly good either, you really have to PRESS it to get it to react. It's certainly not able to accept a light touch like my iPhone does, this suggests to me that it'll wear out fairly quickly but obviously as I've only had it a week this is just speculation!
...Yet you'll notice after the above mini-rant I've still awarded four stars. The confusing menu system is only confusing until you've learnt it after then and being a pocket camera, you'll probably never need to go traipsing through it again. After all you're not buying a professional SLR or anything and for a pocket camera it really is fantastic quality much better than my Fujifilm E550.
So all in all, great camera, great looking camera too! But I'd try and use one before you buy it, unless you particularly enjoy reading manuals!

Sony DSC Camera USB Cable

This is a very solid cable, doesn't deteriate with age or flexing unlike some other USB leads. The bulbous part near one end of the lead is a magnetic loop that cuts the amount of interference. Nice addition but you won't notice the difference if you remove it!

great little pocket marvel

I got my T2 on friday (2 days ago) and i love it.

style
it's smaller than I expected which is a good thing. On sunday I had a shirt on rather than a tshirt and I kept the camera in the shirt pocket all day. Consequently I took about 40 snaps I wouldn't ordinarily have done.
I can be carried in a pocket without looking strange! But I would recommend getting a small case either the sony soft case, tamrac neo 3 or crusher PP40 - I've opted for the sony because I'm sad! (don't forget to look at the other companied esp. those who make trendy phone cases - this camera is so small it will fit in those ones)
It is simple, minimalistic and strangely tactile; I can't help opening the shutter cover on it.
Personally I think it is pretty because it is simple, some people might prefer something a little more 'traditional' in looks.
I have the black edition, but I can see the other colours being attractive for people who like coloured IPODs! Add a trendy case like the crusher and it's a great fashion statement.

ease of use
its a fast start to shoot time and has very little shutter lag.
touch screen is easy to use but is worth spending an hour learning the menus and getting used to what the camera does. Don't bother with the manual, read the screen it tells you everything it does and try stuff out. In playing like this, I found it has useful features such as gridlines !!! I guess for those people who need help with horizontal and vertical framing and rule of thirds! - recommend you keep this turned off and be creative!!!
speed of multi-shot is much better than i expected. 3 frames go off as quick as saying `smile everyone'
Face recognition works fine, but like all cameras with this feature, works best with people posing for a shot rather than a random point and click. As such not really tried the smile detection yet as I tend to take more natural snaps of people rather than posed.
Interesting question to ponder - is it better to take a portrait using smile detection or multishoot? Sometimes you never quite know what you get when you use a multishoot or burst mode!
zoom/wide button is a little awkward and it looses marks because of this. This being my 7th sony camera its definitely the hardest to zoom - the buttons just don't fall under the thumb as you would expect. But this is relative and you get used to these things.
focus is great - the multipoint is the best on a sony I've seen. Don't get worried when you see all the focus blocks appearing as you start to press the shutter.

pic quality
takes great pics with everything set to auto.
Colours on outdoor snaps are fantastic
Indoors ones are ok, but all cameras tend to struggle in low light
flash is ok for most pics and the colour isn't too washed out with glare

playback
love the auto rotate feature - it just knows to turn the snaps around for me.
never been a lover of the scapbook they introduced on earlier models, but on this camera it is growing on me. With 4GB of internal ram you can't help but to use it
I prefer to copy snaps by moving the memory stick over to the laptop rather than use a lead connected to the camera, so I am considering adding a memory stick, however that seems like overkill in capacity! Maybe I'll just get used to the idea of using a lead!

features yet to try...
I am fascinated by the auto upload to web sites - will try that as it might make life easy to keep my mum updated about our twin boys.

summary
I don't think this camera is a 5; that also means no point and shoot should be given a 5 in my opinion. The reason being having used several DSLRs I can see the difference in quality of pictures between this style of camera and a DSLR.
But to put this into perspective, i think this is the best Sony point and shoot I've used. It is on a par with the T200 but smaller. Same spec as the T70 so I would choose this one instead. Not tried the T300 but then it has a better spec so expect a little more.
