Captures good detail, HD video recording, HDMI included on dock

Noisy images even at low sensitivities, touch-screen interface is very fiddly

Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-T500 is a decent compact camera with some nifty features such as 720p video recording. However, its touch-screen interface is irritating and its images are noisier than normal.

Great image quality. Touch-screen menus are quick and responsive. Big 3.5-inch screen. High-def video recording. Includes a camera docking station with HDMI out.

Poor battery performance. HD video is very susceptible to shakes and is a bit choppy. Significant shutter lag. A bit pricey.

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T500 is a great pocket video camera despite being merely passable at snapshots.

A stunning compact with impressive hi-def video powers, but you’ll have to fork out for it

A stunning compact with impressive hi-def video powers, but you'll have to fork out for it

3.5-inch touchscreen LCD ; HD movie recording with stereo sound ; 5x optical zoom

No wide-angle lens ; Noisy images at ISO 400 and above ; Unimpressive battery life

Conclusion Although the T500 has a swanky HD video-recording function, it seems the lack of the BIONZ engine has an impact on the image quality. But a redeeming factor for the shooter would be the large 3.5-inch touchscreen LCD and on-board stereo...
