Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T3

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T3 is an ultra-compact 5.1-megapixel digital camera notable for its slim, vertical design and non-protruding 3x optical zoom lens. It features a large 2.5-inch hybrid LCD screen for the era and utilizes Memory Stick Duo media. The all-metal construction makes it a robust pocket camera, though it lacks an optical viewfinder, relying entirely on the rear display for framing. Used examples should be examined for scratches on the rear LCD, as the screen lacks a protective cover and is prone to surface wear. The sliding lens cover mechanism can sometimes become stiff or fail to trigger the power-on sequence. SDS tests the internal lens prism for alignment and ensures the proprietary battery holds a stable charge, as replacements can be difficult to source.
