Camera Overview — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 is a slim, metal-bodied point-and-shoot camera built around a 10MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by Sony's BIONZ image processor. Measuring just 94 x 58 x 17 mm and weighing 142g, it's genuinely pocketable without feeling plasticky, thanks to its all-metal construction. The camera is operated primarily through a 3.0-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus Touch Screen with 230,000 dots of resolution — there's no optical or electronic viewfinder, so the display does all the heavy lifting for framing and menu navigation.

ISO sensitivity runs from 125 to 3200, giving a reasonable range for indoor and low-light shooting. Autofocus uses a contrast-detection system with 9 focus points, and optical image stabilization is on board to help reduce camera shake. For action moments, the burst mode can rattle off up to 10 frames per second.

Video records at up to 30fps in Standard color profile at 8-bit depth. Connectivity includes USB and a Mini HDMI output for TV playback. The camera stores images on Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO Duo, or its internal storage.

Battery life is rated at approximately 250 shots per charge using the NP-BD1 lithium-ion pack. A built-in flash covers Auto, On, Off, Slow Sync, Pre-flash, and Red-eye reduction modes.
