Sony DSC TX7 is the newest family member of the T-Series and one of its most overachieving. It’s the world’s first digital point and shoot camera with full High Definition movie (1920 x1080 60i).

All About the Video

This 2010, point and shoot digital cameras are all about video capabilities. Just check the reviews we made on Canon (a fierce competitor for Sony as King of point and shoot camera). Camera giants are taking the competition to the video/movie capturing playing field and these leaders (Sony, Canon, etc) are showing us amazing technology that’s as exciting as a summer movie blockbuster!

Sony TX7 is leading the pact with advance movie making digital cameras with its 60 frames per second video (yes, 60!). That is an amazing performance for a slim point and shoot camera!

It also runs in a video format called Advanced Video Codec High Definition (AVCHD) video capability which means a leap in quality of video compared to other digital cameras. Unfortunately though the AVCHD is sometimes an unfriendly format and is not so easy when, say, you want to upload video to You Tube.

The Sony TX7 allows you to burn the HD movies you make into DVD at full 1080 clarity. The TX7 lets you put it on a Blu-ray disc player or watch it directly on your Play Station 3. The videos really are smoother and crispier when shot with Sony TX7 camera. Movie files are limited to 29 minutes each.

Why Worry, It’s Auto mode

The Sony TX7 is an intelligent camera and has the one of the best auto mode features. For example, take a picture of a party it uses its face detection and if you take a picture of, say, your thumb it switches the mode to Macro. This camera thinks so you can just point and shoot that photo. Sony boasts that the TX7 has Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization reduces blur without impacting image quality, Face Detection and Smile Shutter technology, which captures faces and smiles naturally.

The DSC-TX7 camera is also compatible with the Party-shot (model IPT-DS1) automatic photographer, which pans, tilts, zooms and adjusts composition to capture spontaneous images.

There is also an “On-demand shot” mode which  is activated with the touch sensor. The “On-demand shot” mode, allows users to select the shutter timing without losing the advantage of Party-shot’s built-in intelligence.

Flash Power

In spite low light you still get decent pictures because of this camera’s  back-illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS.

Buttoned Away

You just tap away with Sony TX7’s 3.5 LCD touch screen display.

Panorama Mama

The Sony TX7 has a Sweep Panorama Mode that lets you expansively capture mountains and cityscape and seascapes as easy and painless as possible. Just press the shutter and shoot the scene with a sweeping motion. The camera does the rest.

10 images in one second

You want to capture that soccer ball game like ESPN? The Sony TX7 can shoot 10 images in one second at full 10.2 megapixel resolution. It uses a mechanical shutter so distortion of the images is reduced.

TransferJet  It!

The Sony TX7 is also equipped with a TransferJet technology which is an advantage if you have VAIO F Series notebook because you can do wireless transfer with the Sony Memory Stick. .

The DSC-TX7 camera is also compatible with the Party-shot (model IPT-DS1) automatic photographer, which pans, tilts, zooms and adjusts composition to capture spontaneous images.

There is also an “On-demand shot” mode which  is activated with the touch sensor. The “On-demand shot” mode, allows users to select the shutter timing without losing the advantage of Party-shot’s built-in intelligence.
