Sony's 5 megapixel DSC-T7 ultra compact reviewed

With Sony's DSC-T1 and DSC-T3 seemingly the de rigeur ultra compact digicams for red carpet groupies and chi chi party-goers, we can except to see even more Sony-madness abound now that their even-smaller-so-it-must-be-better DSC-T7 5.0 megapixel model has been released. The T7 is one of a trio of similar cameras in Sony's lineup (the T5 and T33 being the others) that offer good quality photos despite their diminutive sizes. Steve's Digicam just got it on with the T7, and they could barely find a fault, what with the quick startup time, short shutter lag, large, sharp LCD, attractive design and smart ergonomics. The downsides are mere quibbles in comparison: no tripod mount (big whoop), awkwardly-placed lens prone to smudging, and the inevitable million-and-one, lose-them-and-you're-screwed dongles, doodads, and chargers that Sony loves to torture us with.
