That camera has two (bad) things going against it:

-Sony doesn't use CFII
-Too small to effectively use 5MP sensor. Lenses are very important! If the optics cannot gather sufficient light you're gonna have to increase ISO (which means much more noise), increase exposure which makes blurry pix. Plus the flash is practically on-axis so people and pet shots always have the evil eye.

The camera would be fine if it were 2MP. Of course people wouldn't consider it seriously nowadays in the "more is better" society we live in. :|

Cheers!

From the release:

The slim metallic design of the Cyber-shot T1 digital camera is attributed to a new Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® optical lens that operates within the camera rather than extending out. In spite of its compact design, the camera still features a five megapixel CCD image sensor and a 3X optical zoom to ensure great image quality.

And the tag line from Sony's PR department is relevent to what shuttleteam said how? Shuttleteam is correct in everything he said. For such a tiny lens the 5mp sensor might actually cause problems that wouldn't exist in if it had, let's say, a 3 or 4 mp sensor. I think 4mp is the ceiling for these tiny point 'n shoot lenses. They just don't allow in enough light to feed a 5mp sensor. And having the flash right next to the lens sux in terms of red-eye.
