CNET Asia Review

Excellent

View score

The good: Trendy, slim design; buttons provide tactile feedback; generally responsive camera; Steady Shot reduces blurring due to camera shake; 58MB of internal memory; excellent performance and image quality.

The bad: Flimsy battery/memory card compartment cover; slightly weak flash; zooming takes a long time; red-eye problem.

The bottom line: If you have no problems shelling out extra cash for a high-capacity Memory Stick Duo, the Cyber-shot T9 is a great snapshot camera to carry around with performance to boot.

Great Camera!!



Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Light, Compact, Great Pictures, Ease of Use!
Cons: Red eye is a minor problem, oh well?
Opinion:
I got exactly what I asked for with this camera. It isn't the cheapest on the market, but everyone loves the pictures, it is easy to use, I keep it in my pocket, and I am very happy with it. The issues I have seen reported such as flimsy battery cover, folks that don't like the lense cover, etc.....is absolutely crazy!! In fact I only submitted this review becuase I think that's just stupid! Anyway, I love my camera!

 

Very disapointing quality and service from SONY China



Rating: 1 out of 10 (Abysmal)
Pros: Good enough photo quality
Cons: Poor hardware and service quality
Opinion:
Just bought my T9 in Tokyo last April 10,2006 (7months ago).
And suddenly 2 weeks ago, the screen went dim practically can not see much.
The power on / off also not working. All happened at the same time.

Try to repair at SONY service station in Shanghai as I am residing there for the moment.

Very indifferent customer service, despite that I have a world wide guarantee card and the receipt from the Tokyo shop. The SONY people there are not helpful at all. Most probably we suspect, they dont want to shoulder the cost for repairing under guarantee from SONY worldwide.

I will not buy again from SONY. Change to Olympus for the replacement and also cancel my BRAVIA LCD purchase.
I recommend to think twice before buying from SONY again.

Awful Red Eye!!



Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: Sharp, good colours & slim
Cons: Red eye, unimpressive low light shots
Opinion:
I bought this camera in Dubai when it launched & it took great pics in the store. With a "high" ISO of 640, low light photography is better

However, after using it for a while I found that pictures taken in bright light turn out sharp with saturated colours. It has problems focusing in low light & pictures can get pretty grainy

My main complaint about it is the red-eye problem, even after using the "Red-Eye" function. The flash is placed too close to the lense, thus this might cause this problem. 90% of my low light + flash pics of people turn out like this
