Sony Cybershot DSC-T70 8.1MP The slim little camera with a big widescreen. In sleek silver, pure black, porcelain white, or pearly pink, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T70 fits your lifestyle to a T — with a giant, 3-inch widescreen touch-panel LCD display for shooting and sharing, simple icon control and touch-and-zoom capability, Face Detection technology and Smile Shutter mode to help you capture more smiles. Carl Zeiss 3x optical and the Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution gives you great shots in low light — and HD output lets you share memories in spectacular high definition on your Sony Bravia HDTV and other compatible HDTV models.
The DSC-T70 gives your images the startling accuracy and extra emotional impact of a highly renowned Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens. Originally designed in Germany, this high-contrast lens delivers natural clarity without distortion or noise. It’s just the right complement to Sony’s high-resolution CCD and 3x optical zoom.
The DSC-T70’s 3x optical zoom, together with smooth, seamless zooming from 1x to 15x, expands your photographic possibilities. You can capture magnificent scenes at the 1x setting, zoom closer with perfect clarity using 3x optical zoom, attain 5.1x zooming at high-definition quality with HD Smart Zoom (16:9), or focus on minute details like faraway flowers with 15x Smart Zoom (VGA). Whether you’re photographing natural scenes or capturing the facial expressions of distant loved ones, the DSC-T70’s powerful zooming capabilities let you make the most of memorable shutter opportunities.
You can even zoom faraway subjects up close when recording movies with the new T series. The maximum 3x optical zooming power is equivalent to that of many DV camcorders and captures movies that are just as impressive.
Helpful consumer’s review
I want to love this camera, but just can’t for the simple fact that indoor/lower light pictures just look terrible. This is for two reasons. One the camera bumps the ISO settings too high, causing noise. Two, this causes the noise filter to try to correct the problem, but it just winds up making everyone looked smeared.
The face detection seems to work well, tracking up to 8 faces as long as they are looking at the camera directly. Smile detection on the other hand was pretty spotty, and I could only get it to work reliably with very cheezy smiles.
