Cyber-shot Digital Camera TX1 Review

Date Added : July 27, 2010 | Views : 419

Series Highlights: 3" touch screen, "Exmor R" sensor, Sweep Panorama Mode, 10fps at full 10.2MP, Anti-Motion Blur / Hand-held Twilight, HD Movie mode (720p), Optical SteadyShotâ„¢, 9-scene detection iAuto mode, 4x optical zoom.



The sleek DSC-TX1 incorporates the "Exmor R" CMOS sensor and boasts stunning low-light performance, reducing grain by more than 50%, even without a flash. High speed burst captures 10fps without distortion and expansive Sweep Panorama shots are easy to achieve with press and sweep motion. Control it all with its 3" touchscreen LCD.

Beautiful Images—Even in Low Light



You don't always want to use the flash. The back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor delivers stunning low-light performance and increases sensitivity by 2x to reduce noise. Perfect for capturing the low-light mood of the moment.

Breathtaking Images with Sweep Panorama



Sweep Panorama Mode reaches beyond the traditional wide angle lenses to let you capture expansive, breathtaking shots of landscapes or skyscrapers. Just press the shutter and shoot the scene with a sweeping motion. The camera does the rest.



The Sony TX1 features Sony's Bionz image processor, and offers sensitivities ranging from a minimum of ISO 80 to a maximum of ISO 3,200 equivalent at full resolution. Burst shooting is possible at ten frames per second, and Sony has included a high-speed mechanical shutter that prevents the image distortion which can occur in cameras using an electronic shutter with high-speed burst shooting. The TX1 doesn't offer shutter/aperture-priority or manual modes, but does provide a good range of scene modes that offer some control over the look of images. An Intelligent Scene Recognition mode is also available, which can automatically select from a subset of nine common scene modes. Images are metered with multi-pattern, center-weighted or spot metering, and the Sony TX1 includes a nine-point contrast detection autofocus mode, and face detection capability. As well as using the location of detected faces when calculating exposure and focusing variables, the TX1 can trigger the shutter automatically when your subject is smiling.



Starting with Scene recognition, which can quickly tell if you're shooting Macro or Landscape, for example. But the Sony TX1's Bionz processor does some heavy lifting. Not only does it include Sony's excellent Dynamic Range Optimization, but it can handle snazzy new features like Sweep Panorama and Handheld Twilight mode. Those are two very useful items we wish we found on every digicam, frankly. The Sony TX1 can also capture full resolution images at up to 10 frames per second using a mechanical shutter to reduce distortion. And its Anti-Motion Blur mode captures six images at high shutter speeds for compositing into one detailed and sharp image. And, yes, movies are 720p HD.Find more deatils at http://www.nowbytes.com
