ADDITIONAL IMAGES:

Four Stylish Colors in Ultra-Slim Dimensions

With sleek metallic case in silver, black, white or pink, the DSC-T20 makes a dramatic fashion statement that fits any lifestyle -- and also fits easily into your pocket, briefcase, purse or handbag, so you’ll always have a great little Sony Cyber-Shot® camera on hand to save your memories.

Face Detection

By automatically controlling focus, exposure, color and flash, this new Sony feature reveals faces in shadow, makes skin tones look more natural and eliminates harsh facial glare -- to help bring out every expression on every face in every shot, so you’ll capture the personalities and emotions that make memories come alive.

HD Slide Show with Music

It’s the high-definition viewing experience that makes photos come alive on HDTV screens, accompanied by your choice of visual effects and any of four preset musical selections stored in memory or your favorite MP3 tunes downloaded from PC to your camera for use as background music.

In-Camera Red-Eye Reduction

Irritating “glowing eyes” can ruin even the most creative photos -- so the DSC-T20 provides in-camera correction at the touch of a button to reduce lingering red-eye effect that other systems might miss.

31 MB Internal Memory

The DSC-T20 allows you to capture a large number of images without a flash memory card, so it’s great for traveling or for quick candid snapshots.

MPEG Movie VX Fine Mode

Captures VGA (640 x 480) audio/video clips at high frame rate (up to 30 frames per second5), with length limited only by the capacity of your media.

Carl Zeiss® 3X Optical Zoom Lens Design

An ingenious Carl Zeiss® lens design provides 3X Optical zoom in amazingly compact dimensions -- and even at full zoom the lens doesn’t project beyond the camera body, preserving its ultra-slim styling.

HD Output1

Thanks to Sony, your photo album can go high-def -- with direct HD output1 to your HDTV screen, so you can view DSC-T20 still photos in spectacular high definition clarity and detail. Your life never looked so exciting!

D-Range Optimization

The DSC-T20 lets you add creative effects to photos after you shoot -- including soft edge filter to soften backgrounds, cross filter to place starry “dazzles” at highlight points, partial color filter to mute surrounding colors, even fish-eye filter to create interesting fish-eye lens effects.

Simple Setup Controls

A quick press of the Home button opens your user-friendly GUI -- and you can select functions by simply moving a cursor vertically or horizontally to the appropriate icon. Function names and the on-screen Function Guide display make it easier to learn camera setup operations.

15X Smart Zoom® Feature4

The Sony Smart Zoom® feature intelligently “crops into” the central portion of interest in your photo, avoiding the image degradation of other digital zooms.

Picture Motion Browser Software

Supplied software makes it easier to upload, organize and search photos on your PC -- and provides a convenient map view function to sort photos by location and display their origin on a world map by using an optional GPS unit.

8.1 MP Super HAD™ CCD

More megapixels give you more detail and definition when you make big prints or crop in tight on your subject. The advanced Sony® Super HAD™ (Hole Accumulated Diode) CCD design allows more light to pass to each pixel, increasing sensitivity and reducing noise.

The Sony Double Anti-Blur Solution

With Super SteadyShot® Image Stabilization and high sensitivity (ISO 3200), the DSC-T20 compensates for shaky hands, minimizes blur, brightens images and allows flash-free shooting to preserve the mood -- and Sony Clear RAW™ Noise Reduction reduces the picture noise that can ruin low-light shots.

9-Point Auto Focus

Because an off-center subject can make your shot more interesting, the DSC-T20 can measure auto-focus precision at 9 points on your screen -- giving you greater creative freedom to compose your image.

2.5”2 Clear Photo LCD Plus™ Screen

With its Clear Photo LCD Plus™ design, the big, bright 2.5”1 screen of the DSC-T20 makes photos look more natural when you’re sharing on location -- and gives you adjustable brightness for viewing even in bright sunlight.

Memory Stick Duo™ Media Convenience

A built-in slot accepts optional Memory Stick Duo™ media or Memory Stick PRO Duo™ media -- the compact, high-capacity storage media that make it easily to upload photos to your computer or make lab-quality prints at home on your Sony Picture Station™ digital printer (sold separately).

Stamina® Battery Power

The DSC-T20 provides up to 380 shots3 with a fully charged NP-BG1 Lithium Ion battery -- enough shooting capacity to cover a long weekend or a whole vacation.

Worst Purchase Ever Buy this camera if you want your hard earned to go waste. After a few minutes of using the Lens starts to vibrate and the camera feels like a mobile phone which is vibrating on silnt mode and you cannot take photos. the worst part is once the vibration starts you cannot restart for 2-3 hours. And the WOW factor is Sony will not take responsibility and will charge you $110 to repair this. June 28, 2011
Handle it with care......:) Its my first camera and I have been using it for 3 years now, it is an excellent compact camera which will help you records all the movement that you want to remember as it was exactly. Currently I have H50 Sony. Still always I carry my T20. June 24, 2010
