Camera Overview — Sony DSC-T50

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T50 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 7MP, 1/2.5-inch sensor powered by Sony's Real Imaging Processor. One of its most notable features is the large 3.0-inch touchscreen LCD with 230,000 dots of resolution — a genuinely useful interface for composing shots and navigating menus in a compact form factor. The camera includes optical image stabilization to help reduce blur from camera movement, and an ISO range of 80 to 1000 for managing exposure across different lighting conditions.

Autofocus uses a contrast detection system with 5 focus points. Maximum photo resolution reaches 3072x2304 pixels, and five color profile options — Normal, Vivid, Natural, Sepia, and B&W — give shooters some creative control over image rendering. For video, the DSC-T50 captures footage at up to 480p at 16.6fps.

The camera weighs just 170g and measures 95 x 57 x 23mm in a metal and plastic composite body. Storage is handled via Memory Stick PRO Duo, and the NP-FR1 InfoLithium battery is rated for up to 400 shots or 200 minutes per charge. A built-in flash with auto, on, off, slow sync, and red-eye reduction modes covers flash distances from 0.15 to 3.5m at the wide end.
