Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90

18 May, 2009, 3:30 pm IST | Nikhil Singh | Point and Shoot

If you're looking for a slim ultra compact, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 certainly fits the bill. If you're looking for a feature rich camera however, you might be disappointed.

Weighing in at just 148 grams, and with stats like these - 94 x 57 x 15 millimeter, the DSC-T90 is undoubtedly scrawny. The camera features a silver brush metal slider that moves top to bottom to sheath and unsheath its lens. The rest of the body is made of silver color plastic which feels and looks slightly cheap.

The top part of this anorexic camera features the zoom toggle to the extreme right. The toggle's extremely small and really annoying to use since its range of motion is very small, making it rather painful for those with big, clumsy fingers. The shutter and power buttons sit besides it.

On the top most part of the camera's facing side sits a preview button. Below it is a 3-inch LCD touch-screen with a rather thin plastic coating. Every time you touch the touchscreen, you get pretty huge LCD smudges, making you almost feel guilty for touching it. The screen could have been slightly thicker to make it less fragile.

Overall, the T90 is decent looking, but features a shabby LCD touchscreen and an inconvenient zoom toggle.
