Should I get this Digital Camera? Sony DSC-T500?

http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stor...





It's the sony DSC-T500, it's slim like I want, and I like the HD recording and the 10.1 megapixels, and I have been wanting a digital camera for quite some time, is this a good one?



We just put the new T500 through its paces during the arrival of our new baby. Both still shots and HD video taken with the camera came out beautifully. Camera performance is excellent. The touch screen controls are intuitive, the options are plenty (if you want to bother with them), and the quality of the output is great.





The only reasons I'm not giving the camera at 5/5 is that the battery seems to get dragged down rather quickly (admittedly mostly due to video usage), and the included docking station is required to plug the camera into your Mac (or PC). As I travel a fair bit, and like the small size of the camera, it's a bit of a shame that a docking station is needed, in addition to the USB cable (would be optimal if you could plug straight into the camera and avoid the extra hardware).





One last point to note is that this camera is the better choice if you want video and still photo capability in one. If you're looking for a camera that can store a ton of still pics on board, without requiring the not included Memory Stick Duo cards, then go with the T700 model.





All in all, this is a solid camera, with a great output, in a perfect size. Definitely can't go wrong.
