The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX9 is a point-and-shoot compact camera featuring a 1/2.3-inch sensor with 12MP resolution and a BIONZ image processor. The camera's 3.5-inch Touchscreen LCD dominates the rear panel and acts as the primary control and framing interface. An ISO range of 125–3200 provides usable sensitivity across a range of shooting conditions.
The Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) system works to counteract camera shake during handheld use. For action and fast-moving subjects, the burst mode delivers up to 10 frames per second. Video capture runs at 30fps.
The metal body gives the TX9 a solid, quality feel in hand, though it carries no weather sealing. Storage is flexible, supporting SD, SDHC, and Memory Stick PRO Duo cards. Output options include Mini HDMI for display connection and USB for data transfer.
The battery is Lithium-Ion. There is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth onboard.
