Obsessed with Sony Cyber-shot cameras!

These are my past 3 pocket digital cameras.. The first one is the blue Sony DSC-U20, my first venture out into the world of digital Cameras! This was a 2.0 megapixel camera, probably entry specs at the time. It was my first time of seeing Memory Stick, Sony’s ‘relatively new’ memory format at the time. I remember thinking it was so small, which it was compared to other formats at the time. It served me well for the few years I had it, although I didn’t exactly use it that much. At the time I was still into my ‘classic’ photos using an old style film camera.

As you can probably see, the second one has so far been through the most usage. Its my Sony DSC-T7 I have taken around 6200+ photos in the 2 and a half years I have had it and it has been with me round the world. This was a step up from the last camera as it is 5.1 megapixels, which was about mid range for pocket cameras when I got this in 2005. I was only really worried about ‘pocketability’ when buying this one so I got it since it was at one point the worlds thinnest camera at 9.8mm at the thinnest point! This was my first encounter with MS Duo cards (its amazing how these things keep getting smaller all the time!)

The most recent addition is my Sony DSC-T2 and I love it!

The new camera is not quite as slim as my T7 but the picture quality is pretty impressive and I like the fact that it is a touch screen! I think finger prints may get the better of the camera though. Lets see if it lasts me another 6000 photos! First stop for my new camera is Amsterdam! Its got double anti-blur technology so its good for me if I am taking a picture of something really fast in a quick burst! Face detection is a feature new to me, though it has been around for a while.. I am not too sure if it will quite work or if its going to be a waste time since I always thought the cue to smile was ‘cheese’! One complaint is the fact that it says HD all over it and the box, yet it does not even come with a HD cable supplied!
