Excellent performance in a small package

We just tested the new T500 on the arrival of our new baby. Both the stills and the HD videos captured by the camera were great. The camera performance is excellent. The touchscreen is intuitive, the options are plentiful (if you're willing to tinker with them), and the output quality is excellent. are fairly quick to drag and drop (admittedly mostly due to video use) and the included dock is required to connect the camera to your Mac (or PC). Since I travel a lot and like the small size of the

Great camera for price/performance

In short: Pros Great video performance as promised Pretty good photos Sure looks sexy Wide touchscreen looks good and works well Cons: Very short battery life Dock only connection (Nr direct connect) USB/HDMI) Depends on dockTouch screen isn't bad, actually quite good but could be better No smile shutter (I don't care but you could) For some reason images are blurry at times, poor low light performance Some thoughts: HD recording is great, but I think if you're into 100% HD recording then the…

Worth buying Best of digital cameras

What drew me to this camera was the HD resolution for videos. If it wasn't for that, I would have looked at others that are slightly smaller. I had a Canon SD800 that I was replacing that was thicker but smaller. I also have a Sony FX1 camcorder. After a month of use I have the following observations. The HD resolution from such a small camera is nothing short of amazing. I never want to go back to 320x240 or even 640x480 videos again. Although it will NEVER compare to a dedicated HD camcorder…

Hybrid video/digital camera here with Sony T500

Like many others, I was looking for a device that was a successful combination of camera and camcorder. We have an old Sony point and shoot camera and a Canon MiniDV camcorder and I've noticed that over the past year the camcorder has been spending more time at home while the number of short clips from the camera has increased. The Sony T500 arrived last week and exceeded many of my expectations. The large touchscreen on the back makes the design simple and intuitive. I thought I would miss the

Pros

An amazing camera if you are ok with its limitations!

I recently purchased this camera from Revain as an alternative to the long awaited Samsung HZ10W and was really blown away by its performance! The big advantage of the T-500 for me was the availability of HD (720p) stereo video in MP4 format, which is extremely rare in any digital camera these days. This was my second attempt at a compact HD camera - the first being the Kodak Z1275 which was a huge disappointment with choppy video that stuttered and due to the lack of IS actually shifted the…
