Description — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T1 is a pocketable point-and-shoot camera that makes a strong impression through its physical design. The body measures 91 x 60 x 21 mm and weighs just 180g, with an aluminum alloy front panel giving it a premium feel relative to its size. At the heart of the camera is a 5MP sensor measuring 1/2.5 inches, processed by Sony's Real Imaging Processor.
The rear 2.5-inch Transflective TFT LCD — resolving 211,000 dots — serves as both the primary viewfinder and playback screen, with the Transflective panel design offering improved readability in bright outdoor conditions. The autofocus system uses contrast detection with a single focus point. Sensitivity ranges from ISO 100 to ISO 400.
The built-in flash supports Auto, Red-Eye Reduction, On, Off, and Slow Sync modes, with a reach of 0.3–1.5m at wide angle and 0.5–1.5m at telephoto. Creative shooters can choose from four color profiles: Standard, Sepia, Solarize, and Negative Art. Burst shooting is supported at 2.2fps, and video can be recorded at up to 30fps in 8-bit.
File storage uses Memory Stick or Memory Stick PRO Duo cards, and the NP-FT1 InfoLithium battery is rated for approximately 180 shots or 90 minutes.
