Product Description
The Sony DSC-T300 offers excellent performance and an elegant, sophisticated design. It includes Face Detection technology to optimize focus, exposure and color for up to eight faces. The compact body houses 10.1-Megapixel resolution and a beautiful, wide 3.5" touch-screen LCD for easy operation. A Carl Zeiss 5x optical zoom lens give you the power to get even closer to the action, a real benefit for distant landscape views and dramatic portraits.

With high sensitivity of ISO 3200, you can shoot effectively in low light without flash to preserve the mood, while the Sony Clear RAW Noise Reduction system helps suppress the color noise that can degrade low-light shots.

Great overall performance September 3, 2008
Excellent photo quality in good lighting. Need flash in low lighting to get better results. The camera has some very nice and useful in-camera photo editing features. I'm very satisfied with the overall performance of this camera.
 Excellent August 31, 2008
this is an excellent product. the lense and zoom have to be tried to be believed and the touch screen is phenonmenal. if you love photography and don't want a bulky camera, this is the equipment for you.
Great camera August 31, 2008
Takes great photos and I love the touch screen interface. Faster shooting then with some cameras and excellent quality with more features than I know what to do with. Love the smile shutter too!
This is a great camera August 24, 2008
I purchased this camera a month ago and so far it's been a great purchase. The camera has great focus and the pictures never come out blurry, battery life is quite good and the big LCD is nice for displaying the pictures
 $$ you have to spend after you get the camera. August 22, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
1. You have to buy a smart battery $49. (Was included in previous models but no more!)
2. I bought a "compatible" smart battery and Sony locks it out so you can't use it even in its dumb mode. That is, you are forced to buy their battery. BTW there is case law on this topic Laxmark was barred from creating an incompatibilities so you are forced to buy their product (ink cart.), hope an attorney catches on to this and files a class action.
3. One of the selling points is you can view your images on and HDTV however they fail to tell you that you have to buy the cable, $39.99! What a rip off.
4. To get proper lighting in macro mode they sell you a $99.99 adapter. Just the fact that you can buy this as an accessory tells you they knew about this being an issue and could have designed it into the camera. Cannon designed it into theirs!
5. !!Heres a big one. Device does not power through USB!! All other devices I have run on USB power when you plug them in...NOT SONY. And guess what, they have a solution, you can buy a power adapter for $39.99
6. Another big one!! You can only take 20 pictures! If you want to take more, you must buy a PROPRIETARY PRo Dou memory stick. That stinks... how much? anywhere from $29.99 to $199.99 depending on the size you want. NOT INCLUDED
7. And they don't even include a $14 case with it, you have to buy it too!
BOTTOM LINE...your $400 camera winds up costing you more like $700. or more these are just the things I found out after having it only 1 hour.
Note from what I read in other reviews this issue is really pissing off a lot of other people too. I'm returning my camera and going to get a Cannon.
