The sleek and stylish Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 offers many features that help you take stunning photographs. Built into the camera there is a beginner-friendly Function Guide that helps you navigate through the various functions and settings displayed on the LCD screen. The camera might be ultra-slim, but the 10.2 Megapixel Exmor R CMOS chip will allow you to make big prints. The camera performs well even in lowlight along with its High Sensitivity Mode with an ISO of 3200, Handheld Twilight Mode and Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization.

Fast moving subjects are not a problem since the camera can capture 10 frames-per-second. This, along with Motion Detection that adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when motion is detected, will help ensure that you capture the decisive moment. To really see your subject in motion, the camera can shoot 1080i AVCHD HD movies.

Both stills and video are composed and viewed on the 3.5" Xtra Fine LCD touchscreen display. The display gives you the ability to select the focus point with a simple touch, scroll through images by sliding your finger across the screen, and one-touch access to the menu. Even when shooting in a tight space the 25mm wide-angle Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4X zoom lens will let you get your shoot. Other user friendly features include Intelligent Sweep Panorama, Face Detection, Smile Shutter, Anti-blink, iAudio and many more. The DSC-TX7 certainly is an extremely functional camera with having a beautiful form.

Stylish Ultra-Slim Design
The DSC-TX7 is slim enough to slip into a pocket or purse, so you can take it with you wherever you go.
10.2 Megapixel Back-Illuminated Exmor R CMOS Image Sensor
The DSC-TX7 features a 10.2 Megapixel Exmor R CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera's Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, the combined Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ image processor delivers extremely fast 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Handheld Twilight and 1080i movie modes.
3.5" Xtra Fine LCD™ Touch Screen Display w/TruBlack Technology
A large 3.5" Xtra Fine LCD touch screen display w/TruBlack technology (921K pixels), the largest in Sony's Cyber-shot DSC line, makes it easy to view and share images with simple and fun touchscreen operation. With its Ultra AR film coating, which reduces reflections and increases contrast and brightness, viewing images on the LCD even in bright light is possible.
Easy Touch Screen Interaction
The DSC-TX7 offers intuitive functions on the multi-purpose touch screen, such as the ability to select the focus point with a simple touch, scroll through images by sliding your finger across the screen and one-touch access to the Menu. The display also features improved readability with list view and index view.
Card Slots
The camera has card slots for Memory Stick Duo media and SD/SDHC media
Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens with 25mm Equivalent Wide 4x Optical Zoom
The high-performance Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for outdoor, sports, and travel photos, and close-ups up to just under 0.39" (1cm) from the subject. A 25mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to take wider shots of a scene or a group in crowded spaces.
Intelligent AF
Thanks to Intelligent AF technology, capture fleeting moments like a child's adorable expression with the ultra-quick AF which locks focus in as little as 0.3 sec.
Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization
Optical SteadyShot image stabilization uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically shifts the lens to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality.
Anti-Motion Blur Mode
Capture cleaner and sharper images in low light for non landscape shots. When set in Anti Motion Blur Mode, the DSC-TX7 captures six images in a fraction of a second with a higher shutter speed and combines the data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary detail and eliminate subject blur, beyond the capability of traditional cameras.
Handheld Twilight
Capture cleaner and sharper night shots without using a tripod. When set to Handheld Twilight Mode, the DSC-TX7 captures six images in a fraction of a second with one press of the shutter, and combines the data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary detail and low noise. With these modes, you can capture images in low light without flash beyond the capability of traditional cameras.
High Sensitivity Mode (ISO 3200)
High ISO allows for faster shutter speed, so you can take photos indoors or in low light without the need for a flash. In addition to High Sensitivity Mode (ISO), you can select up to seven ISO settings (Auto, 125, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting conditions.
Scene Modes
The DSC-TX7 features 12 convenient scene modes: High Sensitivity, Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Soft Snap, Landscape, Beach, Snow, Fireworks, High Speed Shutter, Underwater, Gourmet, and Pet.
Backlight Correction HDR
Shooting high-contrast scenes can often lead to washed out backgrounds and/or details lost in shadow. Backlight Correction HDR helps correct for this by taking two pictures at different exposure settings and processing the best elements of both into a single image for more natural looking shots.
Easy Shooting Mode
With Easy Shooting Mode, even beginners can take great photos. In Easy Shooting Mode, easy-to-understand basic instructions are displayed on the LCD screen and the camera switches to all automatic settings, removing several function choices and allowing you to focus on just your subject. Since this mode works together with Intelligent Scene Recognition, the camera selects the optimum setting for each scene. In addition, the Easy Shooting Mode simplifies Preview Mode.
Intelligent (iAuto) Auto Mode
Unlike traditional auto mode, Intelligent Auto (iAuto) mode thinks for you by recognizing scenes, lighting conditions, faces, and adjusts the settings produce clear images and faces with natural skin tone and less blur. Take advantage of all the technology without leaving Auto mode. Take pictures from a kid on the playground, to landscape shots, to a beautiful flower or an indoor birthday party and get clear images without leaving Auto mode.
Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode
Capture expansive landscapes with Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode. Press shutter and sweep and the camera does the rest, continuously, shooting images and in one second stitching them together. This model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently different widths to help avoid subject distortion.
Face Detection Technology
Face Detection technology detects up to 8 individual faces and adjusts focus, exposure, and flash to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
Motion Detection
Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection, adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces.
Smile Shutter Technology
Smile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the rest. Intelligent Scene Recognition can now be used together with Smile Shutter mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.
Anti-Blink Function
It's frustrating to think you've captured that perfect shot, only to review it later and discover one of your subjects blinked just as you pressed the shutter. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot.
High Speed Shooting
The DSC-TX7 can capture full 10.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that you capture the decisive moment such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, the DSC-TX7 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
Viewing modes
Find your photos using the simple folder or calendar viewing modes.
In-Camera Retouching Tools
Retouch and enhance your photos on the go with in-camera trimming and Red-Eye Correction functions
PhotoMusic
PhotoMusic combines images with music (4 tracks, 5 minutes per track) to produce fun and entertaining slide shows with standard visual effects (Simple, Nostalgic, Active, and Stylish). Select from pre-loaded tracks on the camera or transfer your own from your compatible computer (sold separately)
Creative Painting Tools
Decorate your photos with words and drawings using the included paint pen or your finger. Have fun using more than 30 stamps and 15 types of picture frames and save new images at up to 5 megapixel resolution.
Function Guide
This beginner-friendly optional function helps navigate through the various functions and settings displaying the description of chosen functions or settings on the LCD screen.
Lithium-ion Battery
Included lithium-ion battery provides added convenience with longer lasting power than alkaline batteries (capacity of 230 images or aprox 115 minutes).
Includes Sony PMBP (Picture Motion Browser) Software
With the pre-installed Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable software the camera makes it easy to pre-select videos and images in the camera and conveniently upload them from the camera to a compatible PC and popular internet sharing sites without the need for any additional software or install.

Camera takes great low-light photos. I'm glad Sony brought back the 3.5" touch screen. The HD video (1080i) is great, also in low-light conditions. Accepts SDHC cards = awesome. The only thing that bugged me is the lack of filters (Black & White, Sepia, etc.). Not important, but would be nice to have. Optical zoom is only 4x, but what do you expect from a very slim camera? Note: the silver color for this model is not like the silver color for the TX1, it is more like a meteor silver. All in all, a great value packed camera for its class.

Pros: For this money - none! Com'on people, brilliant photo quality? Awesome low-light pictures? Are you kidding me?Cons: Go for it if you are ok with fuzzy, interpolated, grainy images with random unrealistic color spots & tiny purplish dots all over the photo - just the quality my 10yr old cheap 4MP cam used to do.Also beware CD isn't compatible with 64bit platforms.Summary: I've owned previous Sony (and not only Sony) models that unfortunately have been discontinued, one of them - my favorite - is Sony DSCW7. But I could only find used ones to buy, which made me look for a new cam.If you're planning to take pictures of people, stay away from TX7. As opposed to some previous models, there's an issue with the TX7 lens that, the least to say, does not flatter the 'models' at all, making the faces look puffy, the noses - bigger, pimples - brighter, etc., you get the picture. And it doesn't flatter the body either, slightly distorting proportions, again, not in the model's favor.[...]

      It's LCD screen is big enough. The menu functions are clear to access. Quality of the images are great too.

      The only thing I don't like about its design is, so easy to shoot pictures with my left hand finger included in the pictures; because the lens' location on the camera body is not good enough.

        I use this camera for pictures and i'm pretty amazed by the low light, some pictures actually look better without the flash and the 1080i video is really nice too, though the slider to open is different from the other model. I recommend a light push from the tip of your fingers to move the slider up and down, other then that it's really great so far.

          I own Canon EOS 550D which is my primary camera. I still wanted to have optional point and shoot device. Sony seemed to have all function that I wanted in one good lookin packet and thats why I decided to go with it and I'm more than happy that I did. Camera has great image qualition, it looks great and touch screen functionality makes it easy to use and it works very nice. Also low light photos looks great. Battery life could be a little better and HD movie format should be some other commonly used format. But overall DSC-TX7 is just great.

          Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 Digital Camera (Silver):

          I had a he** of a time getting an answer to my problem of transferring video to imovie '09 (8.0.6) on my mac (10.5.8). Sony tried, but was little help. I eventually ended up saving the video files as mp4. AVCHD may be great for viewing on an HD TV, but you'll need a third party conversion program to get them to show up on your mac. Even then it's going to convert it to mp4. If anyone has found a work around, please post it here and let me know.

          panoramic function is really fantastic as is low light capability. the automatic backlight correction HDR is also quite handy.

          only downsides so far is the battery life seems not stellar and it doesn't give you much warning when it starts getting low. also seems a bit hypersensitive to light. i've had a few glares pop up when i wasn't expecting them.

          The camera is almost great,the best thing is its screen, it is really great to see you pictures and videos, and besides that the features to edit your photos are cool. The only problem is, it does not have a pause feature while recording.

            I bought this camera willing to take perfect pictures with low light and to shoot great full HD moview. Fulfills it perfectly. If it performs tough tasks well, you can imagine how it deals with the easy ones. Be advised that the lens are wide angled, which gives you great picture, and the natural price of it is the barrel deformation, which you can fix easily afterwards.

            I traveled to New York in June and needed a camera that can accurately depict the magic of the city. And I found this on tx7 Sony. The best feature of the camera and isweepypanorama who takes panoramic pictures so fantastic. Requires a certain precision. I found the camera a little heavy but nothing that disturbs me. Filming in HD are also perfect. I put the movies on a screen of 42 inches and not lose quality. Sony could have done with more megapixels, though 10 seems just not notice any problem in the photos. Wonderful, recommend to everyone

            Ican capture the moment when I want, also at night it get beatiful pictures. HD camera is wonderful. Because of its size, carring it is not a problem anymore. Only the program that you import your pictures and videos is not efficient enough.

              I use my camera for both stills shots and movies of family activities and sometimes alternating quickly between the two modes. I am moving up from my previous Sony DSC camera and the mode switching is quick and easy compared to before. I was also looking to upgrade the quality of the video image and this camera is fantastic. The panorama feature is fun, I am still playing with it but it certainly gets the initial "wow" factor points. I have only had the camera one month and have not had any operational issues. The sliding cover was noted in previous reviews as being difficult to open but I have overcome this by pulling with a short fingernail but I did have to study the best location to get a smooth pull and avoid the working parts under the cover. Low light photos are so much better and I enjoy the ease of exposure control when I need it,Overall, I am very happy with this purchase.

              As a serious amateur photographer who usually shoots RAW (with my Canon 5D Mark II), this TINY camera is superb in producing JPEGs that are very good. I would like the battery life to be longer, but that's a tradeoff I'm willing to take for the picture quality. Haven't used the video yet.
