| Verdict: | The Sony DSC T700 comes out top of the tree when it comes to looks. It is one of the sleekest looking digital cameras you will find. It also has a touch controlled LCD screen and 4GB of built in storage. For the money I would expect picture quality to be top drawer. It does not quite hit those levels, but it is still a more than capable snapshot camera. |
