I have a T1, and have posted numerous times on it. In short, It's a pretty good snap camera, but lacks manual features (at least compared to some other point and shoot).
Good:
AWESOME AWESOME screen. Large, hi-res, bright, and fully viewable in direct sunlight. It's great to just have photos to show off to people.
Fairly easy to use, with lots of auto modes. The processor is also very, very fast (in comparison with other cameras I have used). Shutter lag is reallly, really low, making it awesome for instant snaps.
Picture quality is really good IF you take outdoor photos, or in bright light situations.
Macro mode is excellent, and the extra magnifying glass mode is also fantastic (you can see split ends on hairs and stuff like that).
Bad:
In lowlight conditions (most indoor shots, nearly any shot that requires flash) are terrible - fuzzy, and the shutter time is quite alrge, meaning, unless you have a really steady hand, you'll get motion blur. No mount for a tripod to help this kind of thing. The flash helps things, but the flash has a very short range (6 feet or so), and is so close to the lens (at least on the T1) that you get near consistent red-eye, though it's slightly less for the red-eye reduction mode.
Overall, I like it, but at the moment, I'm just taking quick snaps, and don't know much about setting aperture, focl, and priority stuff. Excellent if you're taking any outdoor, sunlight pictures, average at best for indoor (though ithere ARE enpugh manual features you can try and correct for things, if you have the patience).
Also, check out the new T7 model - it's the same thign again, but it's half as thin again. Pure sexiness.
