Reviews of the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T50 (black)

CNET Review
The Good: Optical image stabilization; solid image quality; 58MB internal memory.
The Bad: Slow f/3.5 maximum aperture; too reliant on touch screen.
The Bottom Line: The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T50 keeps the better features of the DSC-T30, but adds a touch screen interface we could've lived without.

Review Summary: The DSC-T50 is a superb well stabilized camera with a 3 inch LCD tactile screen. It was one of our personal favorites. With better colors or a wide angle, it would have received five stars.
