Total Rating: 9 of 10

Summary of review published by Digital Camera Magazine — April, 2006 (page 65)

Rated 9.2 of 10


The Sony Cybershot DSC-T5 is a stylish camera with a uniquely designed silver casing that places it somewhere in between an ultra-compact and an ultra slim. It weighs just a tad more than the slender Casio at 4.8 ounces, but its footprint is a bit larger. An unnecessarily bulky and unattractive on/off slider in the front adds visual heft and actual thickness. For the T5’s housing, Sony made use of no less than four textures of silver: shiny, brushed, and two degrees powdered. While the T5 uses Sony’s proprietary memory sticks, it also has 32 MB of internal memory to get you started. It further has a large 2.5 inch LCD with a very high 230k pixel resolution. Along with its T7 sibling, this screen will not be readily washed out by the sun’s glare and offers the best outdoor performance by far. Controls are well laid out with most of them clearly marked. The menus are not that clear, however they are consistent and easy to get used to. The Sony T5 comes with a battery charger and a proprietary cable that combines USB, AV, and power.
Pros:
-High resolution LCD screen is the best in a roundup
-Impressive battery life
-Typically well-designed Sony camera
Cons:
-A bit bigger than it should be, given its features
-Few functions
-Lacks audio capabilities
