The reviewers at CNET have a review on the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T9 where they state, 'The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T9 is a very quick camera, whether you're going through the menu system, reviewing pictures, or shooting. It takes only 1.7 seconds to grab a first shot after turning on the power and only 1.3 seconds between successive shots in single-shot mode. Using the flash with red-eye reduction increases that time to 3.4 seconds. Continuous shooting is only fair at about 1.5fps, but shutter lag is impressive at 0.3 second.
It took Sony a few generations to get the T series right, but it looks like the company finally has gotten the idea. Though the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-T9 is far from perfect, it's darn good for an ultracompact snapshot camera.'
