Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1/H 10MP “Exmor R” CMOS Digital Camera with 3-inch Touch-Screen LCD – Customer review, Overview, and Pictures

About the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1/H 10MP “Exmor R” CMOS Digital Camera with 3-inch Touch-Screen LCD

• 3 inch LCD touch screen makes scrolling through your photos easy and fun

• Reduces “grain” by more than 50%,…even with no flash (this means sharp pictures, even in low light environments)

• Lightweight – Only weighs 5 ounces

• Small enough to slip in your front pocket without pushing your keys into your leg

• Record crystal clear video recordings in addition to taking sharp pictures

• 4x optical zoom keeps photos you take at a distance detailed and full of color

• Carl Zeiss Vario-Tasser Lens allows close-ups of objects at 1/2 inch distances

• Optical SteadyShot image stabilization – no more crooked pictures or shaky videos

• You can record videos in HD movie mode, which is 720P

• Anti-motion blur mode

• BIONZ image processor “develops” pictures at breakneck speed; makes this camera ideal for panoramic multi-photos

• You can literally take “sweep” panoramic shots.  Press the shutter button once and sweep the camera itself.  It continues taking high speed photos and threads them all together into one single photo.

• Lightning fast shooting speeds, for “in the action” shots like your son kicking the soccer ball or your dog jumping for the frisbee

• Scribble notes or draw pics on your photos from within the camera using the paint pen

• Automatically detects the environment/lighting and adjusts the camera settings for perfect photos every time

• Smile detection – press the smile shutter button and the camera reads the faces in the pic and captures the ideal moment

• Rechargeable lithium-ion battery gives each charge a longer life than traditional alkaline batteries

Unbiased customer review from Amazon.com:

I normally buy my products through Amazon, but I am here in Taiwan when the TX1 was released and I decided to take a stab and buy one from the local 3C.

I was wary of getting the touch screen version, having tried my sister’s T9 from last year and not liking the interface. But I have to say that the screen on the TX1 is very much improved and now I wonder if I could go back to a conventional interface. Taking pictures with this camera is so much fun.

Because it is so thin and light, pressing the shutter release button without adding shake to the shot takes a very steady hand. I rather prefer to use the 2-second timer, which gives me just enough time after pressing the button to steady up the focus frame on my subject. My only caveat so far is that I could keep it on 2-second timer as default, rather having to set it for each shot.

This, combined with the various technologies give great low-light shots, really incredible for hand-held. The TX1 is my so-called “American Express” camera, replacing my much larger and less-forgiving Fujifilm F31fd. It is really hard to take bad shots with this camera, and if you take the time to learn the benefits of the various modes, I am certain you will get great results too.

I was also skeptical of getting the rather narrow range of the 35mm lens, thinking I would prefer the wider lens on the WX1 when it comes out next month, but the panorama mode is awesome so I don’t miss having the wider lens. All of the technologies work well, and are not just Sony’s hype. This camera really deserves way better than two stars.

Give this little gem a spin. You can always return it if you don’t agree that it’s the best little camera out there.
