Description — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T20
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T20 is a compact point-and-shoot camera centered on an 8MP sensor in a 1/2.5-inch format, processed by Sony's Bionz engine. Its body is constructed with a metal aluminum alloy front panel, weighing just 159g at dimensions of 90 x 56 x 23mm — a genuinely pocketable form factor. The ISO range of 80 to 3200 and built-in Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) help address a range of everyday shooting conditions.
Autofocus combines Contrast Detection with Face Detection AF across a 9-point multi-point system. The 2.5-inch fixed LCD at 230,000 dots handles all framing duties, as there is no viewfinder. Burst shooting reaches 2.2fps, and color profiles include Vivid, Natural, B&W, and Sepia.
Maximum photo resolution is 3264 x 2448, while video tops out at 480p at 30fps in 8-bit. Storage covers Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO Duo, and internal storage. The InfoLithium NP-BG1 battery is rated for approximately 380 shots per charge.
