Sony T2 vs. T70 The Sony T2 came out today with 4GB of internal storage. One could also buy a T70 with an add on 4GB card for about the same price, ~$350. Does anyone see any advantages to one over the other? The T2 seems to be a bit bigger in size. Sony T2 vs. T70 The Sony T2 came out today with 4GB of internal storage.

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.

I've owned three Sony Cyber Shot ultra-compact digital cameras and have had excellent luck, a T1, T7 and currently a T200. Sorry, you are having bad luck with the T2, I will make note. I ended up going with a T20 and an add on 4GB memory card as an Xmas present for my girlfriend, which ended up being about a $100 cheaper in the end, and the cameras have very similar internal specifications.

Well haven't been able to really test the T20 much yet, since it is her Xmas present. I'll let you know in about a weeks time...

Hi I checked the differance between S2 and S3 for more than a year. and finally I found that S2 is better than S3 with more than hundrad resons some of those are:1.S2 is 5mp which hlep you to use more capacity of SD memory.2.S3 comming without Digital Zooming.3.S2 comming with AA battery but SOME of the S3 models comming with special batteries.4.S2 I saw the quality of the camera case is better than the S3.5.6.7.100.I didn't like S3 at allZayed :)

I just placed my order for the 32 GB and here's why: first of all I knew that 16 wasn't enough memory for me personally so I waited until the next memory upgrade came out. But of course, you don't know how much "stuff" the person you're buying it for will put on there.So think in these terms: with the 32 GB, you're essentially only spending 20% ($100) more for DOUBLE the memory. Economically, you're getting much more bang for your buck with the 32 GB. Hope this helps.

Hi Terpsichore, to be honest i dont know, but my guess is that the 4GB one has been discontinued, and when that happens the price goes up. Just buy the one that's best for you and your pocket. DONT BUY THE 4GB Please. :) Hope it helps.

Not sure but in all likley hood it will be cheaper to just get a 32gb micro sd card (approx $25) and put it in rather then paying for extra storage (usually $50 extra). the only disadvantage is speed, but for most applications (ie taking pictures/video and playing music) an external sdcard will be plenty fast Fast Micro SD card: http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-MicroSDHC-Memory-Adapter-SDSDQU-032G-AFFP-A/dp/B009QZH7BU/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1386167203&sr=8-4&keywords=32gb+microsd+cards

It really depends on what you're looking for; i.e. what game(s) you're trying to run. I honestly don't know enough about specs to tell you whether the extra 2GB of video memory is worth the extra $60. My advice: go for the 4GB and you won't regret it.

If they'r enot going to jump straight to 150GB or more, why even bother? Solid-state memory has already exceeded 32GB and has MUCH better performance attributes, including durability, energy/battery life, and flexibility.I will hold out for either a 1TB version or 64GB flash disk (or 32GB Flash disk + CF card expansion capability). And forget it if they try to ram some proprietary codec down my throat!

I think the 2GB version came out before and has been out longer than the 4GB version, so many people bought it before they had the chance to even decide to by the 4GB.

"One of the posters claimed that this would cost 500+ dollars. I would think that the hard drive version could actually be cheaper."I think you should learn how to read. He means that if you want a 80GB+ device in the same size you will have to use flash and flash is expensive.

The difference is that the first one has memory card slot only, the second one has memory card slot plus additional internal memory in the camera itself. There are no difference between these two models in terms of the other technical and optical specifications.

The T2i body only version also is not in stock at B&H; Photo, Adorama and Best Buy. It is not even available on the Canon Web site. I've been thinking of biting the financial bullet and buying a 7d instead.

I just purchased the T500 and I'm very happy with it. If you don't see yourself taking any video, then the T700 is more feature rich. But, if you'll use the video feature the T500 is significantly better. The T500's HD video in decent lighting is impressive for such a small camera. The T500 screen resolution may not be as good as the T700, but I've found it more than acceptable. A friend of mine has a camera with "Smile Shutter" and he says he never uses it, more of a hassle then it's worth. I could see if you had kids who are reluctant to smile, it might be a nice feature. -Good Luck I just purchased the T500 and I'm very happy with it.

I got mine T2i someplace else because Amazon was out, but they included a Transcend 8gb class 10 and I could only get 9 pictures on continuous before it slowed down. I ordered and received a Sandisk Extreme III class 10 4g from Amazon and now I can do over 40 continous(didn't bother to figure out if there is a number bigger). So if your using continuous and need get lots of frames go with the Sandisk Extreme III, for single frame anything will work.

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.More megapixels is mostly just a sales tactic. A 7 MP camera will easily give a clear 10x12 image, so anything beyond that is only useful if you do a lot of cropping. Unless of course, you make poster size prints, in which case, 12 MP is plenty.I could care less about a higher res LCD...The main reason to go for the T3i, is if you are interested (or think you may become interested) in doing video. The T3i does far surpass the T3 in all but just casual video captures. Actually, the T3 has the better image quality.

I bought an 8GB HCSD, because I wanted to have more space. Manufacturer claims is a class 6 card, which is supposedly the fastest (or one of the faster cards). Using it, I found: 1. The RAW shooting, would take about the same time that took my 2G MicroSD with adapter, that is, if you're planning about taking bursts of pictures RAW, that won't do the trick. 2. I found the bigger size of videos is 2GB, and that appears to be limited by the filesystem of the cards it self. That's around 23 minutes in the highest quality mode.

I think it's at least 500 - 800, depending on your settings. If you're worried about the capacity why not just get a 4Gb card for the camera? They're going for under $10... I'm still amazed at the quality of the pictures... Video quality is also good. making stills from the video is a pain but much better than I dared hope for...

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.
