Compared with T900, T90 also has impressive shape, only 15mm thin body, in addition to screen size and resolution down to 3-inch, 230,000 pixels, the rest have inherited all the features of T900, including the 720P HD video recording capabilities, while prices are
also cheaper than the T900.
Development of Sony’s T series has also been 4 years now, and when an outsider hold the opinion that T series appears to have been a dead end, nothing can be changed, Sony brought us new ideas, super-high-definition will be integrated into the thin card camera, so that people can discard DV which is difficult to operate. Put high-definition images into your pocket, make your life easier.

T90 uses 12.1 million effective pixels 1/2.3 inch Sony Super HAD CCD image sensor, equipped with a 4x optical zoom Carl Zeiss lens, the equivalent focal length 35-140mm. Sony T90 on the back of the screen using a 230,000 pixel 3-inch touch screen, this piece of the screen is also one of the very important difference between T90 and T900. Sony T90 equipped with the latest generation of BIONZ Engine image processor, 16:9 widescreen LCD as well as sophisticated The 1280 × 720 pixel resolution, 30fps high-definition camera function, so that the camera is more handy when shooting video. Another, Sony T90 has 11MB built-in capacity of the fuselage can be carried out 1-2 photos taken can be used as emergency use, from the Sony’s official website at this moment, you can get another 2G Memory Stick if you purchase of T90. So let us enter the following review of the Sony T90.
Classic Appearance Introduction
Sony T90 continues the T Series appearance of a consistent style, slider, touch screen, ultra-thin. T90’s measurements is about 93.6 × 57.2 × 15mm, 15mm ultra-thin feeling is very good, plus 128g of body weight for T90 handheld raise a lot of sense, and the body surface is brushed metal handle, compared to the piano paint of T900 can avoid a lot of fingerprints.

We take pink T90 as an example, pink T90 under the illumination appears to be very beautiful, the back of the fuselage using a 3-inch touch screen with a resolution of 23 million pixels, This is the most important difference between T90 and the T900 in hardware, although the selection grade of the screen down a lot, but the corresponding price of a lot cheaper, the market coverage is even more wider. But view this piece of screen, playback quality is very high, the touch screen in color has some impact, from the T90 point of view, this error has been fixed good.

The camera with the lens on the T90 and T900 are the same, are four optical zoom, focal lengths equivalent to 35-140mm, and has a 1cm super-macro capability. Unfortunately, there is no wide-angle capacity remains the largest aperture F3.5-4.6, 10 groups 12 elements in the structure (of which four non-spherical lens, a prism). In the proofs still have a good shot in the actual results, and details of the problem is handled better than the past, there is no wide-angle to shoot a little bad.
Partial details of the introduction

Sony’s working make us assured that all parts details are doing very fine, at the top of the fuselage keys is different from T900, less video capture shortcut keys, need to convert through the menu, zoom button to restore the small, but for man whose fingers are coarse, do not operate very smoothly. It can be said that the top button is the same as the T77, and perhaps this is reason why the T90 is thin. The size of the fuselage can single-handedly control, while in the Sony T90 on both sides have a certain arc, it is consistent with the curvature of finger joints.
The bottom of the fuselage are a digital port and battery storage combinations, T90, as a matter of course the introduction of Memory Stick storage media, and the donated 2G memory stick for our common use is basically completely sufficient. At present, the price of memory cards diving much, to purchase a memory stick is also very easy.
T90 lithium batteries using Sony NP-BD1 which is a classic lithium battery of Sony, after the actual use of this piece of lithium battery for the T90′s battery life is only say that is relatively moderate. Recommend to prepare other lithium battery if you like traveling. Compared with the T900, T90 don’t have a base of the camera, directly through the data cable to connect your computer or TV, although the lack of panache, really easy to take.

Menu, and video
Sony T90’s operate menu is still very rich, While 23 million pixel 3-inch touch-screen LCD is no better than the T900, it will not affect the playback picture quality.There are three selectable display mode in T90 shooting mode and playback mode, simply press the DISP button to select three kinds of display modes. Of the three display modes, all can be turned on or off histogram display, or adjust LCD screen brightness tor the standard or bright. These can meet the needs of different users. Sony T90 also has iAUTO functions, as well as some of the other shooting modes of the T900, while in shooting mode menu we can see the video capture option, this option instead of the Sony T900′s video shortcuts. The simple-degree really be declined.
T90 still continue the “touch-style” focus feature, which can quickly focus on the subject, and the operation is simple, the LCD screen can shot when touching the object. For example, if the subject is human, touching the subject’s facial image to open the face detection function, so that shoot out of character image is clear. If the shooting object is an object, touch the screen to focus the scene, you can operate auto-focus frame. This can be quickly and accurately adjust the focus to the subject and to let photographers easily capture their own style, make shooting more freedom. In the playback, touch screen also has contribution, you can “touch” photo images in the screen to enlarge or view you want to view photos, or spend up / down / left / right to adjust view. You can turn off the icon display to view photos full-screen.
“The music strings film show” feature can achieve photo MTV-like playback. In playback photos, just touch the “notes”on the left of the screen then enter the operate interface, four kinds of visual effects (simple, nostalgic, vibrant, stylish) and stored in the camera comes with four pieces of music with freedom to realize full of fun slide show, you can transfer your favorite MP3 songs to the camera from the computer as background music to create personalized pieces of string show broadcast.
The T90 also has the kind of combination of hardware and software features such as DRO, which is the famous BIONZ image processor, built-in DRO optimization, to optimize the exposure and contrast a variety of scenarios, providing detailed and natural images. Shooting backlit portraits or the prospect of lighting the background and the contrast between the dynamic scene, the function of the effects are particularly obvious. It means that you can make the white whiter, black is more black, to enhance contrast. DRO also has a 2 stall regulation, plus files can handle the additional image processing.
Sony T90 still has a T900 of 1280 × 720 resolution HD video capabilities, can be optical zoom and auto focus, enlarge your shooting creativity. T90 has stereo microphones in flash design, can record sound when shooting video.
High-sensitivity test
Sony T90′s ISO setting is up to ISO 3200 under P.
Summary
Sony T90 selling point is its slim appearance, as well as those 720P HD video recording. In addition to LCD, the other exactly the same as T900 in functionality and performance, the body is thinner than T900, but it is inconvenience on a video switching. It is worth mentioning that such a thin body with high-definition shooting capability can be said the first paragraph in the camera market so far.
