The ultra-compact Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T7 offers a 5.1 megapixel resolution, a completely internal 3X Carl Zeiss zoom and a large 2.5-inch monitor.
While the DSC-T7 has the same technical characteristics as the DSC-T5, with this model Sony engineers have miniaturized the camera even more.
The thinness and compactness of the design come at a price, however: places to hold the camera are few, and fingers with no resting place easily gravitate towards the lens, getting in the way of the image. The T7 is a camera that requires a bit of time to get used to.
With a body size that is so thin that it could almost be fitted into a credit card holder, the T7 still provides a Carl Zeiss zoom with a useful range and is able to produce high resolution images. In addition it offers a variety of scene modes and a program mode that gives the user a fair bit of creative control, surprizing for such a compact camera.
Sony’s DSC-T7 should please those that appreciate the miniaturization afforded by digital cameras, and it deserves to find a home in purses and briefcases, making it possible for owners to capture images at a moment’s notice.

The new Cyber-shot T7 is just over a third-of-an inch, making it Sony’s thinnest, fully-featured model yet. Though small in stature, the camera packs a powerful punch. It has a 2.5-inch ‘hybrid’ LCD screen, covering about two-thirds of the back of the camera, which is perfectly sized for framing, displaying and sharing pictures.
The T7 is a robust performer, turning in results nearly identical to the T5. From sliding open the lens cover till the first shot was captured measured an impressive 1.4 seconds; you will not miss many unposed spontaneous photo opportunities. Shutter lag, the time between depressing the shutter and capturing the image, measured 1/10 second when pre-focused, and lag including autofocus was an equally impressive 3/10 second; both of these times include about 1/10 second of delay in the live image on the LCD viewfinder. In single shot mode, images could be captured at a rate of 1 every 8/10 second with Auto Review off, or 1 per second with Auto Review on. Using flash, shot-to-shot time ranged between 1.5 and 4 seconds depending on subject distance.
And don’t worry about your battery keeping up with you; Sony’s Real Imaging Processor power management system lets you shoot full resolution images in seconds. At 240 shots per charge, the Cyber-shot T7’s InfoLithium® E series battery won’t let you down.

The Sony DSC-T7 is Sony’s latest subcompact Cyber-shot model, a device that we can safely say is like no other. Sony digital cameras span the full range of price and performance, and Sony enjoys a leading position among digital camera manufacturers, but the Sony T7 breaks new ground in slim camera design, and it will not go unnoticed in the market.
Sony’s Cyber-shot T7 is a truly full-featured digital camera, with a 5 megapixel CCD, a 3x optical zoom lens, a huge 2.5-inch LCD screen, and a full complement of options such as variable ISO settings, color saturation, contrast, and sharpness adjustments. Automatic exposure control offers point-and-shoot ease, with a handful of scene modes for more difficult shooting situations. Its diminutive profile has forced some interface compromises, including an external charger, a dock that offers no connectivity, and an unusual Interface Adapter to enable image offload and A/V out.

Thinner and lighter than any other camera in Sony’s T series, the 5.1-megapixel Cyber Shot DSC-T7 will appeal largely to the fashion-conscious snapshot photographer. Beyond its ultraslim design, other strong points include a large LCD, speedy performance, and easy operation. Unfortunately, its image quality doesn’t match the T7’s more attractive attributes.

Sony’s latest digital compact is even smaller than the last. Following in the footsteps of the T3 and T5 models, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T7 promises great photographs from an ultra thin body, but can it really achieve what it promises. Pocket-lint was one of the first to find out.
The camera without a doubt is small, measuring 92 x 60 x 15 mm (3.6 x 2.4 x 0.6 in) in its dimensions. Even loaded up with battery and a Memory Stick Duo card it weight in at 134g (4.7oz).
