Camera Overview — Sony DSC-T900

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T900 is a slim, pocket-friendly point-and-shoot camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by Sony's BIONZ image processor. At just 16mm thin and weighing 143g, its brushed aluminum body measures 98 x 58 x 16mm — making it one of the more pocketable compact cameras available. The standout feature is the large 3.5-inch Touch Screen LCD with a high-resolution 921,600-dot panel, which dominates the rear of the camera and serves as the primary control interface.

ISO sensitivity spans from 80 to 3200, giving users a reasonable range for both bright outdoor and lower-light shooting situations. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with face detection AF across 9 focus points. Optical image stabilization (OIS) helps reduce camera shake without relying on digital cropping.

The camera includes a built-in flash with multiple modes, shoots burst sequences at up to 1.8 fps, and records video at 30fps in 8-bit color. Connectivity includes USB and HDMI output via a proprietary optional adapter, though there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Storage relies on Memory Stick PRO Duo media.

Battery life is rated at approximately 220 shots per charge using the NP-BD1 Lithium-Ion cell.
