Frank,
I believe that Zeiss has the same relationship to Sony as Leica to
Panasonic.  So, I don't imagine that there are any real T* coatings
involved.  :)

By the way, this is a very similar camera to the P150 which is on
clearance at a much better price at many locations.

Thanks all, for the replies.  I'm will continue to browse.  Any 
thoughts on the Sony Cyber Shot DSC- P200?  Do Sony's digital Zeiss 
lenses have the same coatings as  the T* lenses?

Here is a link to the camera:

Thanks, as always.
