Thorough review of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300

This is the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T300 which has had a thorough review by Digital Photography Review, the camera is pretty smart when it comes to the use of touchscreen controls and the size of the LCD screen (3.5 inches) is massive compared to the size of camera. While DP Review gave the DSC-T300 an above average rating it still has some major set backs, they said the camera had a noise-reduction feature that reduces image quality and noise, the battery life was said to be “terrible” and it had “over-enthusiastic reds”.

Conclusion – Pros:

• Post processing options well implemented
• Clever focus point selection
• Feature-packed (including DRO and image stabilization)
• Largest possible screen for a camera of its size
• Touch-screen interface generally pleasant to use
• Long zoom for such a slim camera
• Small, smart design

Conclusion – Cons:

• Redundant power button
• Uninformative and frustrating ‘Function Guide’ mode
• Lack of manual white balance (combined with average presets and inaccurate preview)
• Higher ISO settings of very limited use
• Over-enthusiastic reds
• Poor use of screen in playback mode
• Terrible battery life
• Noise reduction that reduces image quality at all settings
