Summary
The high-end camera that fits in your back pocket. Sonys DSC-T1 features a huge 5.1 Megapixel resolution, 3X Optical Zoom, and a 2.5 Hybrid LCD Monitor, all in a package the size of a credit card. The T1 even packs extra features you would normally expect on a camera twice its size, such as a high-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens, Sonys high-speed Real Image Processor, 5 Area Multi-Point Focus. It is even able to capture full screen VGA (640x 480) video at an astounding 30 frames per second. It¿s twice the camera at half the size.
