Sony T2 vs. T70: Does anyone see any advantages to one over the other?

Bought the export version of this camera in Japan back in November. This camera is magnificent in almost every way except the most important one...it takes ridiculously horrible photos. They looked look something you might expect in the 3MP range or a cell phone. Anyway, I exchanged it thinking I might have gotten a lemon, but the replacement was the same. I recommend you avoid the T2 and Sony all together...they ought to be embarassed to have this product on the market.

From the specs, they are the same except T2 has a large internal memory and rounded shape. From the sony japan site, size of T2 is 86.856.820.2mm (T70 is 9056.420.7mm).

t70 has a bigger screen and the zoom buttons are more intuative, but the t2 seems easier on the eyes because it seems less severe.

Warren, I cannot decipher any difference between the 2 models listed. I think they are one in the same. That said, if the merchant told you that it is better than its predecessor, that may indeed be true--if he is comparing it the 61/71 series or the 65 series from last year's model line. But even Samsung's website doesn't mention the S2F being any sort of an upgrade or anything like that. I've been looking at the A860 for a while. The slim depth plus its couple extra features make it a bit more attractive than the 6 or 7 series lines.

I was faced with this exact problem and chose the 700. Here are my reasons. The 700 has a longer lens but the 800 has a wider lens. For my shooting purposes, longer is definitely more useful. You should think about what kind of shots you're likely to shoot and decide based on that.The 800 has a newer sensor and higher ISO capabilities. The higher ISO enables you to shoot in dark light so if you often shoot at night, that might be something to think about. I doubt the newer sensor is worth the $80. It's not like the 700 had a terrible sensor.

The t2.2 version is a cine lens, ment for shooting film. It has a de-clicked aperture ring to adjust lighting in a smooth fashion versus having preset aperture points such as 2.0, 5.6, 11... I love the f/2.0. I shoot primarily landscape shots with it, and its great for night because of the low f-stop. Hope that helps!

Hands down, the T500 is a far superior camera to get for the price. I have been using the T-series cameras since the original T1. The T700 is nice but overpriced for what you get. The screen resolution is not that big a deal as you're more likely going to be viewing images on a computer or in print. Personally, paying extra $ for this feature is a waste. Same thing with the 4GB internal memory -- I always have my USB adapter around to transfer images from the memostick to any computer. Transferring from internal memory is actually more complicated. The one feature that will make a real difference is the 5x optical. Although it doesn't sound like much, over time you will begin to appreciate this difference. The HD video is also a feature that adds true value. When it comes down to it, you need to consider those features that truly impact the image and image quality, versus the other fluff features that don't actually help you to take a better picture.

the T 5 i has better speed when using the movie function and it has more monitoring capabilities for better viewing of shoot then older versions!Lenses are different as well!

The HD video quality is better on the T2i than the T1i but you don't intend to buy this camera for video recording do you? Other than that, there is a minimal difference.

Sounds good! I'm buying my first digital camera for my daughter and her family. I've locked in on the t1i and 15-85. I really like my 24-105 lens and think that the 15-85 should be a great match for the camera.

Thank you for your help. I think I will skip over the XS and try a more current model. My classes do not start till January so I do have time to do more research on the newer models. Looking over the specs I really like the 50D model, but it's out of my price range. Maybe I will get lucky and a refurbished one will show up in my price range. If no,t I might go for the T1 or T2.Thank you again for your help.

I came to this camera from a D90. Ive only had a few moments to work with it, but the pictures I have so far blow the D90 away in terms of overall IQ.This camera will also expose flaws in your shooting technique which is a possible explanation for many of the complaints.Now, as far as the "comparison" to the D700 goes, you just simply can not compare the two as they are two entirely different imaging systems.

In addition, the back touch-screen interface is 3.5" rather than 3"... a bit bigger. I struggled with the differences and ended up getting a T77 with a 4Gb memory card ($25 more). I decided I could get by with a slightly smaller screen on the back for the price difference.

"Actually, the T3 has the better image quality. Cramming more megapixels onto the same size chip, just gives you a noisier picture, with less dynamic range."That's the problem with generalizations - they aren't always true. The sensor in the T3 is one or two generations behind the T3i's sensor. Sensor technology has improved with each generation. Even though it has fewer pixels, for example, my old 8MP Canon 30D certainly does not offer better image quality than my 18MP 7D. In fact, there's simply no contest between the two at ISO 1600.

I realize your question is now 3 yrs old, but I may still be able to help someone else. My favorite lens for my T2i is the Tamron 118-270mm. Talk about versatile. I have the Canon 50mm and a zoom along with the standard kit lens, but none compare to the Tamron...no more changing the lens so often.

I've tried both and I like the 24-70 far better. It is a sharper, faster lens.

Yes that's the only difference and you should go with the t- r42 because the price differential is not that great.

If you could get adapted to electronic view finder from optical view finder, then yes, A99 or A77 is much better than A700. I just upgraded from A900, while I still keep using A900 now because two bodies work more effective.

Rx100 has a bigger sensor, so the quality of the image is much better. The price between bouth cameras reflect that difference. It is been said that the menus and shooting experience of the sony is so so. I had the lx7 and the menu and the controls are very intuitives. If the picture quality is your preference in a pocket camera, the Ricoh Gr is the best chooise (more expensive too: it has an Aspc sensor, like your D7000) but is has a focal fixed lens (28mm) instead of a zoom. All these cameras shoot in raw, have manual exposition and other dslr functions.
