I believe everyone is in agreement that this camera has a spectacular video mode. This is one of the reasons why I purchase the camera because I wanted to have the ability to video record and take pictures with one product. Nice big bright LCD screen. I love the 9 megapixel mode for viewing on your HDTV, pictures come back to life with a good HDTV. The reason why I reviewed this product with 2 stars is because I already had to ship out to a Sony Repair Shop to replace my broken LCD. I took my camera to my 1st trip to Maui, Hawaii and I used it for 3 days when I realized that my LCD was cracked in half. I purchased a Sony leather carrying case and I never dropped it so I’m baffle why it cracked. I purchased a disposal camera to continue capturing Hawaii’s beauty. Sony had a great customer service in repairing my product, it just had to pay for shipping. The intelligent shoot mode is always trying to adjust that several of my pictures come out slightly out of focus, but it’s an ok feature. The “double” anti-blur has not been perfected, on my hiking trips I tend to continue walking and then shoot, and even if I stop. The battery life is horrible. I had extreme hopes for this camera, especially since it was Sony and for the expensive price, including the accessories and additional warranty. My trust with Sony has been shook and next time I’ll wait for any product to be out for several months before purchasing esp. a Sony product.

I don't understand what reviewers are talking about when they say that this camera has a poor battery life? Maybe they received a defective camera or battery, but for those individuals who stated that they only were able to take 50 pictures max, I must correct them and say that this is not true. At first I was hesitant about getting this camera because of the reviews I have read from others about the poor battery life, but after much debate and the option of returning it 14 days later if not satisfied, I decided to give this camera a shot. I just got my T900, charged it the recommended 4 hours (for a full charge) and then commenced to use my camera. After taking 100+ photos (with flash) and taking 3 minutes of video, the battery display is still full. I am trying to drain the battery in a test to see how long the battery really lasts, but after taking a hundred photos, I am confident that the battery will last up to the amount stated in the manual; the pictures one can take with a fully charged battery (approx. 200). Hope this helps you guys.
