Description — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 is a metal-bodied point-and-shoot camera with a 10MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, processed by Sony's BIONZ engine. At 94 x 58 x 17 mm and 142g, it sits comfortably in a shirt pocket without sacrificing build quality. The primary interface is a 3.0-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus Touch Screen with 230,000 dots — the sole framing tool, as there is no viewfinder.
Sensitivity spans ISO 125 to 3200, and Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) is built in to keep shots sharp during handheld use. The contrast-detection AF system covers 9 focus points, while burst shooting reaches 10fps for fast-moving subjects. Video captures at 30fps with 8-bit color depth in a Standard color profile.
The built-in flash supports Auto, On, Off, Slow Sync, Pre-flash, and Red-eye reduction modes. Output options include Mini HDMI and USB, and the camera accepts Memory Stick, Memory Stick PRO Duo, and internal storage. The NP-BD1 lithium-ion battery delivers approximately 250 shots per charge.
