Panasonic Lumix 7.2 Megapixel Digital Camera DMC-TZ3K vs Sony Cyber-shot T50 Digital Camera 7.2 Megapixels?
They’re quite clearly different cameras, the size factor alone making this pretty much a question of what do YOU prefer or need, instead of the two typical -and largely nonsensical- questions: which one would we choose (something that should be irrelevant to you, since our needs and preferences won’t necessarily be the same as yours), or which one would we recommend to you (a question that can’t be properly answered while barely knowing at all what you need, or at least the intended purposes of the camera).
Assuming that you were just asking for a breakdown of the differences between both cameras, and what those differences mean in practical terms, here it goes:
The Sony T100 is a much smaller camera that can fit in almost any pocket, but it makes several compromises to achieve that: its optics are nowhere near as versatile in terms of maximum wide angle and telephoto length (in other words, zoom), nor are they as fast in terms of maximum apertures (and thus light gathering capabilities), or as sharp and free of lens distortions (chromatic aberrations, barrel distortion, corner sharpness); pretty much the only thing they have in common is that they’re both stabilized.
As for generic image quality, they’re just about equal. At low ISO sensitivities, the Sony image looks crisper because it uses a much more agressive internal sharpening, but it’s not actually capturing any more detail than the Panasonic; at higher ISO levels, both are pretty bad, except in a different fashion: the Sony leaves ugly blotches of chromatic noise, while the Panasonic blurs the hell out of it, leaving the image with a somewhat more pleasant, film-like grain, but also smudged colors that seem to “bleed”, like a too wet watercolor picture.
Other significant differences are that the Sony’s battery lasts longer (400 shots with LCD on, against Panasonic’s 270) and has a closer macro focusing distance (therefore being able to capture much smaller details), whereas the Panasonic has a maximum burst shooting rate twice as fast, a much wider range of shutter speeds (eight times slower, and twice faster), it uses the more convenient SD/SD-HC memory card type, it offers a slightly wider maximum video resolution, and has a probably more powerful flash.
All of this might seem to suggest that the Panasonic is the better overall camera, size notwithstanding. And it probably is, but you still have to decide which features are the most convenient to you.
