 Got it 4 years ago and I am still in love with it.Apr 28, 2009
I got this camera 4 years ago and it still serves me well. It is an amazing little snapshot camera. I know that I can just pick it up and go and use it to document my life out with my friends and family. I really have no complaints except that the battery was a bit of a nuisance to charge until I got the wall adapter.
I will be using this camera for a long time to come!

 SONY SUCKSApr 13, 2009
I've lost my faith in the once-giant Japanese company Sony...they've gradually gone downhill over the years and my personal faith in them has eroded from this DSC T1 camera to the other things like walkmans, boom boxes, TV's and every other Sony product I've ever purchased...they're cheap products that offer no customer support and they've lost touch with a simple word: RELIABILITY.
This camera broke after a few months of using it...and I bought it with the hope that it wouldn't break because of the non-moving lens...I liked the design of the camera - how the cover protected the lens...but the LCD started going haywire on me and the resulting pictures reflected this...
I'm so disgusted with Sony products...I've switched to Samsung and Nikon and other companies that are making strides.
 Not bad at all but...Mar 18, 2009
I prefer to use film cameras. I decided to try this sony digital because of the lens (Carl Zeiss). Zeiss makes great sharp glass (camera lenses) good example Contax G2.
I was disappointed with this camera. I haven't been able to get sharp images from this camera.
Videos are dark when taken in ambient lighting situations. You shouldn't have to light your home like a photo studio to get video. I have back, front and fill light. Now my videos look great.
Pictures look okay but I'd rather have film and a manual camera. There are no real manual control settings. If you want a fast shutter you have to settle for certain crappy aperture settings. The battery life is a joke. I am lucky if it holds a charge for more than 2 hours.
If all you want is a point and shoot this is it. I wouldn't trust this camera for my important photos. Which I have in the past and have been truly disappointed.
Its not really worth the money. You can do better.
 A great camera, if you keep a few things in mindFeb 06, 2009
I bought this camera in 2003, mostly to do underwater pictures (with a dedicated housing). It has served me very well. Best feature is its size, you can really have it on you at all times, like a phone camera, but much much better quality
Couple of hints:
- always use max resolution, so pack the newer, larger memory cards.
- in low lighting, use the bracketing or burst function: both take a bunch of pics after one push of the button, whereby the first one will be blurred (due to YOUR movement when pressing the button) and the second will be sharp. This brings much better results than using the flash, which is awful, like in other cameras of this size
- it can be slow at the start, so keep the autofocus on permanently. This may mean you run out of juice quite quickly, so pack an extra battery and re-charge in the evening
- the macro is very precise and sharp , get up close and use it!
At the end, mine got flooded (my fault), and I find myself looking for a second-hand one, despite all the improvements in the technology since 2003...

Constantly has a blue line running from top to bottom of screen. I owned this camera before and loved it. This particular one that I bought, was defected.
