excellent! 
2008-08-03
I know that it is very expensive, but if you can afford it, don't think twice about it. I had the model before this one but gave it away to my nephew and run home to buy another one and found this new model. Takes the pictures fast, the clarity and sharpeness is amazing. Many choices and simple to navegate. Easy to learn. Fits in your pocket and ready to shoot in half a second. If I lose it tomorrow, I will buy another one the day after.
very good camera

Good product from sony.
I am surprised to see its price getting increased after I had purchased the product.
Great camera overshadowing its successorsGreat camera overshadowing its successors 2008-05-25
Its odd to add a review for a camera now out of production, but consistently this camera rates significantly higher then its successors the T200, or T300. The later generations have higher resolution images, and improved software. But this older model delivers better pictures, and more pictures per charge. In the end isn't that what you get a camera for?
Its sad, but true, that the photo journals and consumer report articles on the newer cameras consistently report them as disappointingly inferior to this older model. This explains why this old model now sells for more, sometimes twice as much, as it did when it was in production - or as the newest successor sells for now.
Disappointed 
2008-05-23
This is the third digital camera I've owned and the picture quality is terrible. The pictures come out blotchy and blurry unless the object is standing perfectly still and there's the perfect amount of light. I love the camera, it's display and menu, and the overall handiness, but the pictures are truly disappointing.
What's with the price hike? 2008-05-14
Everyone, including Cnet, is talking about what a great deal this camera is for $400. But I can't find it anywhere for less than $600. Did the price go up recently?
Big Price Tag for Poor Performance

The Sony DSC-T100 delivers an effective 8 megapixel still resolution for incomparably detailed still pictures. It also lets you take movies with sound. But what's really amazing is how small and light this high-performance, easy to use camera is. Enjoy 5x zoom from wide-angle to telephoto imaging. A large, bright LCD screen for viewing shots. Sony's Steadyshot image stabilization that virtually eliminates blur resulting from normal hand movements when taking pictures. What we've got here is professional quality that's friendly for everyday, anytime use here or when you're travelling there. The DSC-T100 from Sony is what you should be taking along.

Sony T100 5X Zoom the Best 2008-02-05
The 5X zoom is a rarity among the point and shoot cameras. It gives me the ability to shoot at a distance without disturbing my objects. The T100 was rated by the CNET as a must-have-if-you-can-get-one, while rated the T200 a not-so-good. After using it for a month and a half, and after over 2,000 shots on my vacation trips, The camera's minuses are more than its pluses. I am a Canon SD630 user. The SD630 provides faster initial machine turn on time and faster prepared shot to shot time over the Sony T100. It often means that in a split of a moment`s difference, the best of a seize of the moment shot has been missed.
PROS:
1. 5x zoom is great and no one else makes this powerful so far.
2. 3-inch LCD is crisply clear and offers great colors.
3. Long battery life for 325 pictures per charge, including zooming and viewing time. That is remarkable.
4. Very good picture quality for in museum no flash allowed low light shooting.
5. Excellent colors under reasonably sufficient light either outdoors or in.
CONS:
1. Slower recovering time between shots.
2. Slower start-up time, you'd easily miss your catch-the-moment shot.
3. Lens protector sliding down takes two hands to operate.
4. Zoom in/zoom out control not as handy to operate.
5. It is not compatible with Windows Vista.
6. When it's used in Windows XP, its software CD-ROM is not as smart and convenient.
7. The camera's control menu is not easy to handle.
8. There is no 1600x1200 image size. This size is an optimum size for 4x6 prints.
9. No Date Stamp function. Sony decided to remove this popular function a couple years ago on T9.
10. Heavier and thicker than the T200.
11. Sony is more expensive as usual. It cost me $420 plus shipping.
Conclusion: A Canon of equivalence would be a better alternative, if 5x zooming is not what you must have.
love the camera 2008-01-25
I love the camera, I was scared at first because of the bad reports some people said but others loved it... I am very glad I bought it
Not what I expected 
2008-01-08
After using an HP945 camera I was disappointed in this Sony. It takes a long time to change settings, the zoom is not great and the pictures are not good compared to what I was able to get from the HP. If it didn't cost so much I would love to trade it in.
A wonderful little camera 2008-01-07
I've taken thousands of pictures so far and for the size of the lens I'm very pleased with this camera and it's features. I'm never without it in my pocket. The battery life is great. The 5X zoom is handy.
