Summary: Sony AJKTHA Case for DSCT1 Adds Tripod Mount
Review: When I initially read about the Sony DSCT1 I was pretty excited. This in turn was much inflated hype, UNTIL I bought the Sony AJKTHA Active Jacket Case. First off, it was much more reasonaby priced thourgh Amazon, and they offer free shipping on items over 25$ (in general, but there are some restrictions) which is something I noticed was a big difference between Amazon and Sony's more complex website. The protective sleeve fits the T1 snugly and covers it with padded velcro release fastens on the front and bottom of the case. The bottom of the case also has a built in tripod mount (something the T1 failed to come with probably because of size and the design, it being ment to rest in the T1 dock. The thing I found most useful however was the built in tripod mount. Its no longer a worry to gently carry my T1 in a shoulder bag or jacket pocket in fears that it would get scratched or nicked/dinged. The case provides pretty comprehensive coverage and insulation of the camera from casual day to day usage. The tripod mount is wonderful, because as you know if you own one, the camera body is so small that its almost impossible to not get camera shake/blur when taking night tim images. Now for the cons. You have to be careful that you use a compatile tripod, as some may screw in too deeply and damage the camera. The feel of the plastic does not feel very rugged. This only accounts for about 30% of the cases materials. Also keep in mind that you will have to remove the case every time you uplaod pics to your comp or other peripheral and the T1 was designed to rest cradked in its dock. This isnt a big deal as the battery has yet to die on me. Finally to keep this from getting to technical (its case for a camera, serously) i would highly recomend that you purchase this case for your camera before you get it, This will pretty much keep your camera in great condition and when im not afraid of small thngs interfering with our spoiling my camera which I (stupid me) paid 600 dollars for, It tends to get used more. Finally, a good tip for low light pictures here you want the sharpness but the effect is to use the timer button on your T1 when using it with a tripod, this virtually elminates any camera shake and provides exceptional result (the little button directly beneath the center button on the control area of the T1)
