Cyber-shot DSC-T700

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T700 was Sony's flagship touchscreen slim compact in 2008 — featuring a 10.1MP CCD sensor, a 3.5" touchscreen (large for its era), and a 4x Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar zoom lens covering 35–140mm equivalent. The T700 represented the peak of Sony's T-series design philosophy: ultra-slim, pocket-first, and ahead of its time with a touch interface. By modern standards the image quality is limited and the CCD sensor struggles in low light, but as a piece of digital camera history — and a reminder of how smartphones changed everything — it holds a place in the GearFrame archive.
