The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W50 is a compact 6 Megapixel camera with a 3X optical zoom lens, 2.5" LCD display, VGA movie mode, and point-and-shoot operations. One of the other big features on the W50 is its high sensitivity mode, which can boost the ISO to 1000 for sharp, blur free photos. Less
The EOS Rebel T2i has an 18.0-megapixel CMOS sensor that captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range and offers more than enough resolution for big enlargements or crops.

Pros Good quality pictures, Long battery life, Low price
Cons Uses expensive Memory Stick media
Recommended it? Yes

It's not everyday that I'm impressed with a particular digital camera. In fact, I come across several digital cameras monthly due to the nature of my hobby. Last month, I worked with the DSC-W50 to photograph some cars for a local automobile dealer. Having already worked with the DSC-W30, I wasn't... Read full review »

Pros Better than it's more expensive predecessors. Fixes key faults.
Cons Television real-estate hucksters. Camera? No cons, really. Good value for price.
Recommended it? Yes

I've been a DSC-T1 owner for about 2.5 years now I guess, and I've had a chance to run the DSC-W50 through its paces and see how they stack up. The DSC-T1 broke new ground with its deck-of-cards form factor, and, I must say, despite my aging Nikon Coolpix 995's vastly superior indoor flash... Read full review »

Pros Easy interface, beautiful renderings, fully customizable. 
Cons Could use more zoom, but different lenses can be purchased for distant shots.  
Recommended it? Yes

I recently purchased the Canon REBEL T2i / EOS for a family vacation to niagara falls.  I have never owned a professional camera beforehand so I figured it would be difficult to learn but it was really simple.  Beautiful pictures, ample shot settings, and quick changing to different style...

12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Many different shooting modes<br>Lovely contrast<br>Simple to master
Cons The camera cannot be set down without tipping forward, hard for self-timer.
Recommended it? Yes

I got this product as a gift and could not be happier with it.  I have been taking photography classes in school and became very interested in it, so I decided that I wanted a digital camera as well as a film camera.  I originally thought that it would never stand up to film, but so far...
