Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T7

This little buddy unfortunately put an early end to my FD-91's time in the sun, because it quickly stole the spot for my favorite daily driver digital camera. In terms of something easy and portable, nothing else I own compares. It's the smallest (real) camera I've ever seen and the picture quality is remarkable. It's thin, sleek, pocketable, and stylish. Not to say it's perfect, the image stabilization is godawful, and you can't zoom while shooting video, whatever you set the zoom to you're stuck with. You have to do a lot of fiddling and get a bit lucky to have photos not turn out smeary depending on the conditions, sometimes you're just fucked. I haven't yet cracked the code on reliably getting stable images in all conditions, but I don't think that's something I should have to do. I will however commend the T7 for offering a variety of options to tinker with, and somebody who actually knows what they're doing could probably dial this thing in a lot better than i could. The Memory Stick Duo format offers a break from the constant disk juggling and makes transfer to a PC fast and easy. Thank god that card reader I got with a 3DS accessory kit when i was 10 years old had a MS-Duo slot on it. This camera is a great pick for when i go somewhere but don't want to commit to a big camera like the Mavicas, making it useful for outings with buddies or times i need to mind what i'm carrying.
