The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 is an ultra-thin digital camera released by Sony in April, 2009. A precursor to the DSC-T900, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 sports an ultra-compact 15mm thin body with a 3” wide-screen/touchscreen LCD and a 4x / 12 megapixels Carl Veiss Vario Tessar optical zoom lens. What separates the T90 from competitors’ models is its inclusion of an intelligent auto mode that “thinks” for the user by detecting scene conditions and then adjusting settings as necessary. Plus, the intelligent auto mode enhances face pictures by capturing natural skin tones, identifying open/closed eyes, and reducing blurs without damaging image quality. In addition to rendering top-quality images, the DSC-T90 records movies (w/sound) at 720p using an MPEG-4 codec. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T90 retails for $299.95 and comes with a 90 day limited warranty.

Pros
- clear identification of scenes and back-light via scene recognition
- tools for editing, archiving, and sharing
Cons
- battery could last longer; had to spend $38 for the Sony infolithium battery
- too much digital smoothing; makes full res shots look almost bad
- need to use stylus for touch screen; otherwise if you use fingers, you can see fingerprints on the screen.
- little too expensive; should be around $200 to $250
