'She who must be obeyed' dropped her 35mm 'compact' camera on a night out, having decided it really wasn't worth fixing, we started looking for a replacement digital camera.
I've always been a devotee of Olympus kit, since the days of the legendary OM1 (reviewed previously) and whilst I'm extremely happy with my C-8080WZ (also reviewed previously) it is, to be fair, a bit chunky, and bristling with buttons.
The boss holds true to the principle of 'less is more' and the Sony DSC-T50 meets that criterion admirably.
The T50 is currently the top of the range 'Cyber-shot' camera from Sony.
It shares the same basic format - a thin oblong block, with a sliding cover over a rather small objective lens.
Unlike a lot of 'compacts' it doesn't rely on a motorised 'snout' which pushes the lens forward on power-up, instead it has ingenious static 'periscope' mirror which allows the light path to take a right angled turn once it enters the camera body.
The main benefit of this is that there are no moving parts, and it means the camera can be ready for action in a fraction of a second - it's also one less thing to break!
From the front, the camera is virtually indistinguishable from most other Cyber-shot models, however from the back; it's a completely different story.
Instead of a plethora of buttons competing for space with a small LCD screen, there's just one great big touch sensitive viewer.
Ordinarily, you slide open the lens window, this powers the camera up, then simply point and shoot with the 7.2 megapixel sensor.
Under around 90% of occasions, that's perfectly adequate.
The camera seems to have an alloy body, which means it feels reassuringly solid, although at 130g shouldn't pose a problem for anyone.
The default settings allow auto-focus, auto flash etc - you hold the camera at arms length (no optical viewfinder to peer through) and press the button when your subject is in frame.
It's when you start using the onscreen menus that you realise this is a seriously capable piece of kit.
Image quality is exceptional - especially considering the diminutive size of the lens. The built-in flash is possibly a little too close to the objective (even in 'red eye mode'- meaning that red-eye can be a problem, although the instructions suggest moving closer to the subject (surprisingly enough - this actually works!)
There's a plethora of program modes; portrait, sport, landscape, and one I hadn't come across before; 'fireworks' - the 'steady camera' feature works very well, except don't expect that much from a moving subject!
It's even got a 'video' mode - which is significantly better than most mobile phones, but not up to proper 'camcorder' standards.
The camera uses one of Sony's 'short' memory sticks - don't expect it to work then with older kit (my PC, a VGC-V2S - previously reviewed, etc) without an adapter, although I was able to pick up a 1Gb card on Ebay for around twenty five quid.
The battery provides three or four hours usage - less I you use flash a lot. Sony will sell you an spare one for around £50, you can get a third party one on eBay for significantly less than a tenner!
In producing a small camera, compromises have to be made, or putting it another way, corners have to be cut.
Batteries have to be charged 'off camera' - the supplied charger comes with a 13A/ 'figure of 8' power connector but if you wanted to use the unit abroad, it copes with supplies from 110V through to 250V.
Something it doesn't have is an 'external power' jack, so if your battery goes down, you're goosed.
The other niggle I have is the proprietary USB connector - this doubles up as the video and data connector - it all saves space, but if you break / loose the cable, you're stuffed.
Saying that- it's got a rather fancy 'slide show' function which goes through the photos, applies various wipe and fade effects as well as playing music in the background! This can be played back through a normal TV system.
The icing on the cake for this particular model makes use of the touch screen facility to allow you to edit your pictures without the need for a PC- personally I'd always prefer to take 'standard' pictures and edit them on a computer, but it means you can use a 'Pict-bridge' printer and produce pretty respectable results in the field without having to lug your laptop around with you (I used it with my PCT-P30s - also reviewed, without any problems)
Were I to offer one criticism of image quality, that would be that the flash can be a little strong. Given the relatively short focal length, the depth of field can be fairly big. The result is that in a dusty environment, particles can be lit up, and produce random halos on your image - we checked the lens for contamination but it seems to be an atmospheric phenomenon. It's easy enough to avoid this, but something worth noting.
In all, an amazing range of features in a format smaller than a packet of fags.
To give you an idea of the quality of image, I photographed an A4 typewritten document, and running it through an Optical Character Reader program on my PC, was able to convert the image to text with a degree of accuracy which was easily the equal of my flatbed scanner.
The RRP of this model is £349 - careful shopping managed to find a street-price nearer £246.99 on Amazon, and I managed to claim back £7 by selling it to myself as an 'Amazon Associate' (work the system!)
Amusingly, Sony Pictures in their recently released James Bond film 'Café Royal' did a bit of blatant 'product placement' by featuring the eponymous Mr B using the exact selfsame camera - now if that isn't cool, I don't know what is!
Advantages: Very stylish camera that can produce good quality prints Disadvantages: The intuitive touch screen interface can lead to problems
...which is the standard for sony cameras and produces a very clear and rich image. It produces images that are sharp acros the entire picture with very minor saturation on some picture which could alway be rectified at a later date with a decent piece of software.
The camera has nearly every kind of shooting mode you could want. One of the most impressive is the super-macro mode. This acts like a magnifying glass and can produce some stunning, intimate ... ...ensuring there is enough light on your subject.
The camera also has the superb feature of image stabilisation and makes a dramatic difference to picture quality, especially when taking indoor photos and you are using the shutter at less than 1/4 speed. The difference in picutre quality with the feature on and off is very noticeable and very welcome if your lilke me and struggle with a steady hand.
Overall I feel this is a cracking camera, full ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Sony CYBER-SHOT DSC-T50
Advantages: Sleek, stylish, great pics Disadvantages: Quite pricey
The Sony DSC T50 is a pocket sized digital camera- and an absolutely great one! It offers something different to almost every other digital camera. This is because the DSC T50 has a touch screen!!
The DSC-T50 is a beauty. I used a silver version but it's also available in a very bright red or black. The camera measures 3.75 x 2.25 x .9 (WHD, in inches) and weighs 5.8 ounces with battery and Memory Stick Pro Duo card. The front of camera is as clean ... ...the metal case. There's also an eyelet for the wrist strap. DSC-T50 takes 640 x 480 pixel clips at 30 frames per second, basically VHS levels. On the left side is a compartment for the battery that's rated 400 shots per the CIPA standard and the memory card slot. On the bottom are a metal tripod mount, speaker and port for the special combination USB/AV/DC-in cable.
The real standout is the 3-inch LCD screen on the back (there's no viewfinder). ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "Sony CYBER-SHOT DSC-T50"
Advantages: Excellent compact camera at a great price Disadvantages: Needs a carry case
I\'m quite new to digital cameras and wanted my first one to be the best I could get. I done my homework and every time I checked cameras out it came to one conclusion - that the SonyDSC-T50 was the best out there.
My first impression was on how small and stylish it is - I couldn\'t really believe that all the features are crammed into such a small camera. It has all the features you would expect from a digital camera and the pictures it takes are amazing. The 3\" touch screen is excellent and on it\'s own is a great way to view your snaps. Showing them on TV is better though, as the phone has some excellent slide shows in which you can add your own music to play alongside them.
It also records video brilliantly as well - i\'ve recorded better video\'s on this camera than I have seen on much more costly camcorders. The camera ...
Advantages: Easy to use, good picture quality Disadvantages: MemoryStick Duo must be purchased seperately
Intro:
-----------
I have been the proud owner of a SonyCyber-shotDSC-T50 for about 18 months now and I have to say I have never owned a better camera. Everything about it is excellent!!
Price:
--------
At the time I paid £350 for it but, having just 'googled' the product you can now pick one up for around £150-200. Yes, £350 was a lot of money to pay for a camera but it has certainly been put to the best use keeping a record of my daughter growing up and capturing our most precious memories.
Overview of Features:
------------
7.2 Megapixels,
Memory Stick Duo,
LCD display,
Touchscreen menu,
3 x optical zoom,
Super steadyshot,
Slide show function with music,
Internal memory 56mb,
USB 2.0 High spped transfer.
The camera comes with instruction manual, battery recharger, USB cable and editing software, wrist strap ...
Advantages: nice and compact loads of features available in black silver for red Disadvantages: None i can find at the moment
where a flash is not permitted or might disrupt the mood.
The DSC-T50 also comes equipped with a precision Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical/2X Digital zoom lens and 56 MB internal memory for capturing images without a flash memory card. The SonyCyber-shot® DSC-T50 is available in three fashionable colors: black, silver and red.
An outstanding 7.2 mega pixel resolution plus Double Anti-Blur technology adds up to sparking images with the slim-line Cyber-shotT50 camera from Sony. The Cyber-shotT50 weighs a mere 130g*. At just 95.0mm (W) x 56.5 mm (H) x 23.4m thin, it's compact enough to slip into a pocket or bag for use any time. It's easy to use, too, thanks to a large 3.0-inch touch-screen for quick access to shooting and playback functions.
Complementing the high-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x Optical Zoom lens, Double Anti ...
Great looks and well built.
