We had the pleasure to be the
first to review the Sony
Cyber-shot DSC-T1, when it came out in Japan.
We also reviewed the Japan-only Sony
DSC-T11, when it came out. Thanks to our
friends at Dynamism, we
are able to continue the tradition to review the
World's Thinnest 5MP Digital Camera from Sony. The
DSC-T3 is thinner than the DSC-T1 through a design
change of the lens-cover. Dynamism sent us the black
version of the Sony DSC-T3, that is only
available in Japan. Sony made a strange move a
couple weeks ago pulling back the launch
of the Sony Cyber-shot T3 in the USA. The silver
version of the DSC-T3 is shipping in Europe and of
course in Japan though. The US is officially left
with the Sony
DSC-T1. Read my review below to see if the T3
is actually better than the T1.
The Japanese release
Black and Silver Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T3 sell
for $599.00 at Dynamsim.

| Sony re-designed the power and
shutter button layout. Now it is harder to hit
the power button by
accident. |

| The DSC-T3 has a slightly
different shape, which also requires a bit
different docking
station. | |

How to Buy
The Japanese release Black
and Silver Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-T3 sell for
$599.00 at Dynamsim.
Dynamism is providing the original English
language manual via pdf and of course ships
international.
The silver version of the Sony
DSC-T3 is available in Europe. The silver DSC-T3
sells for £291.99
(~$552)
at Amazon.co.uk.
Non of the
big stores are carrying the DSC-T3 in the USA. But
there are a set of small
stores that sell the silver version of the
Sony DSC-T3 in the USA online (range: $399-$499).
To own a black DSC-T3 directly from Japan
is more expensive, but that is the price for
having a unique Digital Camera.
