Is the Sony DSC T-1 flawed?
I thought I was getting the Sony DSC T-1 for Christmas, but every shop I looked, it was out of stock. I could have bought the non-HK authorized dealer version and paid US$100 less, but I would be without any warranty if it breaks. I decided to wait. But a few of my friends and customers didn't wait and went to get the non-HK version. They all came back to tell me I should hold off buying or pass on it altogether. They said the zoom on the T-1 sucks; it takes horrible pictures when it is on. One of my customers explained to me in details of why the non-protruding zoom lense does not work as well as traditional zoom lenses, but I am too dense to understand. Since he is the camera pro, I believe him. My other friend said he would e-mail me pictures taken from his T-1 with zoom on, but I am still waiting. He said he is going to try it for a few more days, then pack it up and sell it fast. Now I wonder the reason it is out-of-stock everywhere is whether it is a hot-seller in stores or a cold-lemon being recalled. I am going to be patient this time and wait it out.
