Remember the Essentials
Sufficient memory is not included.
Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
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.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 Digital Camera (Red):
I bought the DSC-TX7 as a replacement for an older Cybershot camera gone bad. This Christmas gift was a hit! My wife loves the point-n-shoot ease and amazing pictures it produces. The pictures on the TX7 are much nicer than the older model it replaced. The larger touch screen makes reviewing and viewing soon-to-be photos much easier for our middle-aged eyes. We're fans of Sony cameras but this one, albiet not their top model, hits a homerun! One semi-downside is the lame red color. Something muted is nice, but the faded red leaves a little to be desired. Last, I'm a new B&H customer [...] I'll be back!!!!

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 Digital Camera (Red):
My parents bought this camera for my sister, who wanted it because Ms. Taylor Swift was advertising it...and beacuse of the sweet panaramic sweep feature. I was in charge of finding the best price and the red color. [...] Everything about the camera seems exceptional so far, but sometimes it's too early to tell.I would HIGHLY recommend this seller to anyone who doens't want to give their money to some over-priced big box store.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 Digital Camera (Red):
This tiny package is embarrassing in that it takes shots out of the box that rival my D3 which took me a bit longer to learn. Really just about the best point and shoot I have ever touched. And I bought it as a gift. Now I think I need one.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 Digital Camera (Red):
I found the camera really easy to use, I hate reading instructions and havne't yet had to look at them as the camera is really simple to operate and self explanatory.
it takes great photos and videos, with an excellent zoom and great colour.
At this stage there is nothing I can fault about the prodcut. This is my third Cybershot camera and I would continue to buy them.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 Digital Camera (Red):
I just love this camera. I bought it two weeks ago, since this moment it is in my pocket every single day. If see a squirrel running over the street: Camera out, slider down, shot. And it will be good one. Also for concert pictures this camera is very useful - I love the image quality in low light. The only minus is the zoom which is too limites for my taste. But this Cybershot is really worth its price.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 Digital Camera (Red):
Amaizing feature set including usage of SDHC card in a Sony device!
Excellent stills with superb autofocus -real point and shoot without thinking about it.
Video video video - don't take your camcorder. This is an amazing video camcorder with SDHC Ultra. One disadvantage is that it's hard to open the cover (nothing to hold). Overall an amaizing device that gives excellent results.
