"Worth the price!"

By relag (asia.cnet.com) Read the full review

Low end user. Tried Olympus and Canon, but got lemons. Therefore, I became very careful with what I'm going to choose this time. Not a big fan of Sony cameras due to their price and their memory stick, but decided to give it a try. After a month of...

Size, functions, choice of colours, made in Japan

Memory stick, pricey accesories, package and software could be better

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T90

By Jane (reevoo.com) Read the full review

It is easy to use as a beginner and very simple to access the library of images. It is lightweight and easily portable

The battery does not last long if you leave it in the camera. A backup battery is excessively priced compared to the cost of the camera itself. it is not easy to learn to use the sophisticated features

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 digital camera review

By Gavin Stoker (pocket-lint.com)

Sony's latest snapshot, the DSC-T90, takes up the gauntlet thrown down by its predecessors and delivers beauty and simplicity married to almost anorexic proportions. No wonder it's referred to as a "fashion" model, here boasting a maximum width of a...

Solid feel build, small form factor, large-ish LCD, HD movies

Video isn’t full HD, no HDMI out, screen can get confusingly packed out with info at times

Though priced at a premium, for those who value both style and substance the T90 makes for a happy compromise, if no great advancement from previous Cyber-shots

Useful, as with a narrow screen surround there’s not much of the model presented to get a firm grip on, thus camera shake can seem more pronounced. At its top ISO setting the T90 doesn't do a bad job, the level of grain/image noise visible being...

Review: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90

By Alexandra Savvides (asia.cnet.com)

Don't be deceived by this slim shooter's looks--the T90 packs quite a punch in a small package.

Small and stylish; nice, consistent images if a little temperamental in studio situations; HD video recording; optical zoom works while filming

Slippery to hold without wrist strap attached; fingers can obscure the lens if you hold the camera incorrectly; touchscreen is a little fidgety at times; no wide-angle optics

If you must have a touchscreen camera, the T90 should definitely be on your shortlist. It delivers decent images for such a small shooter, and despite a few quirks with the screen itself, performs well in terms of intuitiveness and ease of use. Plus,...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90

By Gavin Stoker (digicambuyer.co.uk)

Latest incarnation 12 megapixel pocket snapshot features slide open and shoot operation, HD movies, plus rapid response touch screen

With touch screen operation is love it or hate it, gripped in the palm the T90 looks and feels the part for those who want to do little more than take snaps, and have heads turn enviously as they're doing so.

Sony DSC T90

By (cameras.co.uk)

There is a lot to like about the Sony Cybershot DSC T90. It looks great and is incredibly slim and streamlined. Picture quality is good and the touch controlled LCD screen may be the clincher for many people.

Ease of use - design and style - build quality

11MB of memory is not enough to test out the camera

If style is important to you then the Sony Cybershot DSC T90 is likely to impress you. For such a small digital camera picture quality is good and this camera offers something a bit different from a lot of run of the mill models.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T90 Review

By David Elrich (digitaltrends.com)

Award: RECOMMENDED PRODUCT

We love running around during the summer – the beach, ball games, family gatherings, eating out – the usual stuff. In the heat, however, it's no fun lugging around a hefty DSLR with several lenses. That's why compact point-and-shoot cameras like the...

Ultra portable; 3-inch touchscreen LCD; quality 12-megapixel images; decent 720P video

Small size could be a detriment; no aperture or shutter speed adjustments; optional cable required for HD video; relatively expensive

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 is truly an aim-and-forget camera and you

Since cell phone camera quality is still pathetic, the point-and-shoot digicam lives! And the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 is as easy to carry and use as you’d wish. Now let’s see if it's worth the ’60 it costs in the real world.

Manufacturer's Description


Think thin. The ultra-chic DSC-T90 Cyber-shot digital camera is perfect for stashing in your pocket or a small purse. But the T90 doesn't just impress on the outside. Built into its compact body are powerful features that make taking great pictures a cinch. Not sure which mode to use at sunset or when shooting sporting events? The iAuto mode does the work for you. It automatically adjusts the settings for fantastic results no matter what you're shooting or where you are. There's also Face Detection mode for capturing subtle detail and natural skin tones in faces. And when still photos aren't enough, you can record HD video clips and play it back on the 3 touch screen LCD.
