Sony Cybershot DSC-T500

Consumers have always found something alluring about ultra slim cameras that come with a metal body, sliding front plate and folded optics. They look more like slim mobile phones or thick credit cards, can be slipped into the pocket and no one would ever notice. They can be carried anywhere without much hassle, unlike the bulkier ones, which always need extra care. One excellent example of a camera that is slim and demands less maintenance is the Sony Cybershot DSC-T500. This slim, ultra compact camera comes with resolution of 10.1mp and a zoom capacity of 5x, with a 35mm analogue of 33mm to 165mm.

Most people would expect a slim camera to come in colour borrowed from a teenage girl’s wardrobe, since the popular notion states that they cater to the tastes of the youngest section of the consumers. Surprisingly the Sony Cybershot DSC-T500 makes it clear that though it comes in an ultra slim, metal body complete with a sliding front panel and folded optics – the whole package, in short – this camera is available only in one conventional colour of Midnight Black. It incorporates Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and high sensitivity settings up to ISO3200 helps combat blur and facilitate flash-free shooting for natural-exposed photos. This camera touchscreen-enabled camera is also equipped with the Function Guide, a beginner-friendly optional function which helps navigate through the various functions and settings displaying the description of chosen functions or settings on the LCD screen. Its PHOTOMUSIC Feature combines images with music to produce fun and entertaining slide shows. The user can select from five visual effects (Simple, Basic, Nostalgic, Active, and Stylish) and four pre-loaded tracks. It comes with 4MB of internal memory and is compatible with Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo High Speed, Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo.
