The Bottom Line
If you aren't quite to the pro or digital SLR level, but still want a lot of camera, this is an ideal choice. It packs a lot of whollop with 5 megapixels and some cool features. It is compact, so it's extremely portable. It is not as great as some of the larger cameras of its size, but if you want a small camera that will yield great enlargement prints, this is a wonderful choice.

- Five megapixels in a compact size

Guide Review - Sony Cybershot DSC-T1
There are two primary advantages to this camera: it has five megapixels and it is compact. The rest of the camera's features aim to make people on two ends of the spectrum happy. Those who want a simple point-and-shoot camera that is easy to use and cute get it. Those who want a few extra options, a large LCD screen and high-quality images get that, too. It doesn't excel in either category. You can find higher megapixel cameras (although not many at its $500 price) and you can find smaller cameras. You will hardly find many that do both jobs so well. On the downside, users need a steady hand to avoid annoying blur from shaking on the images. The flash is a bit weak as well. It's a nice and slim high-end point and shoot.
