<p>The Cybershot DSC-T300 is the second generation of touch-screen ultra compacts from electronics giant Sony. Thanks to some clever folded optics Sony has managed to cram a non-protruding 5x (33-165mm equiv) zoom into the slimline body, which is also packed full of the latest special modes and functions, including 'smile shutter,' that only takes a photo once your subject is smiling. The real stand-out feature of this camera is the huge, 16:9 aspect ratio touch screen that covers the entire reverse of the body.</p><p>Image quality is fine for smaller prints, though you won't want to use the high ISO settings too often. Now superceded by the DSC-T500 (more pixels but otherwise very similar)</p>
