Overall I think people critique this camera too harshly being that it was like around $400 or something retail when it was first released and I think people have forgotten that it's now dipped to around $250. It really isn't as bad as a camera as some reviewers make it seem. This is a great camera but performance can be shifty, so if you want a more reliabaly consistant performance still picture camera, look to the sony w290, if you want something for HD recording, get the kodak zi8, if you want common ground and will sacrifice sometimes inconsistant low light performance, GET THIS CAMERA from Amazon.com I owned a DSC-T1 Sony Cybershot which is now on the slopes of a mountain in Wyoming. I had to buy this one to replace and thought I would get similar, but advanced camera with the same image taking/making ability. from Amazon.com ! it don't take great PICTURES* it has problem with color video is great from Amazon.com This camera was to replace the Cannon supershot that was acting up on me. I miss my Canon, this camera drives me nuts. from Amazon.com The rest of the world has gone to SD cards, yet Sony insists that you only buy their type of "film" that will only work in their cameras. Why such arrogance? from Amazon.com Purchased camera in May 2008, since day one camera did not work properly. Pictures had red dots in them or pictures were out of focused. Shipped camera out to be repaired and received camera back with the same problems and poorly packaged. Sony did not offer explanation and I had to send it out once again. from Amazon.com This is the first time I'm writing a review. I never felt before so strongly about a product that I thought that I should warn against or endurance it...until now. The Sony Cybershot DSC-T500 is a digital camera. You are about to purchase it because you want to take PHOTOS so you can print them or view them on your computer screen. from Amazon.com Did a lot of research before I purchased this camera and i can safely say that for the price this product has the best features (at least it did at the time I purchased it). The touch screen is great and easy to use, no false touches like you get with some. the pictures are great, the steady shot works very well, and the auto balance gets the color right just about every time. from Amazon.com -Memory management and organization is way to awkward. I got this for my girlfriend, and all in all she loves it. Most of its negatives are true with any pocket camera- week night time/flash performance and some of the 'auto' features need work. Of partiuclar note is the sometimes counter intuitive places you need to look for adjustments (there are actually alot but mostly a pro wont be using this camera) and the poor memory organization. from Amazon.com I run a photography studio, so I know a little about cameras. Although, we do not use point and shoot cameras for our business we do use them day to day and on vacation because we hate carrying the big boys around. I have been a long time user of Canon cameras (both professional and point and shoot) and I have always been extremely pleased with them. However, my wife and I wanted a small camera that could take some high def video because we presumed that would give us better video quality. from Amazon.com
