The front face of the T100 has sliding panel that covers the lens when not in use and on this panel is a shiny metallic strip that stands out from the body with the Cyber shot logo. The top of the T100 has the shutter release button. The hind surface of T100 has the power button along with the playback button, zoom rocker, menu button, d-panel and home button. It is powered with 8.1-megapixel resolutions, high-powered 5x optical zoom lens, Double Anti-Blur Solution and a large 3.0-inch LCD screen in its compact size. The pictures are clear, with little to no white spotting and true to life colors.
Even the sharpness and contrast with image quality leaves one astonished. Since, the lens is bigger, it works very well in poor light conditions. Various useful features like the face Detection technology, in-camera retouching and red-eye reduction, D-Range Optimization, and 9-Point AF make way for a fulfilling experience for professional photographers. The shots are steady due to strong mage stabilization feature. The HD output allows users to view images in high-definition clarity on the compatible HDTV screens.
The T100 permits zooming in movie mode also. Also, the movies are saved in MPG format rather than QuickTime. The T100 has a 5x optical zoom, 8.5xHD smart zoom, 10x digital zoom and up to 25x smart zoom. The Smart zoom is a relatively technology that Sony has launched which enables users to zoom into certain parts of an image that they want to retain and discard the rest of the image. The T100 has double anti-blur technology, which combines Sony’s Super Steady shot and a high sensitivity of 3200 ISO ensuring crisp and sharp images. The various feature buttons have been replaced by software driven menus. Options from these software driven menus are difficult to select and takes long time. Battery life is one area of improvement with Cyber Shot DSC T100.
