- No Longer Available
Remember the Essentials
Sufficient memory is not included.
Don't get caught without memory, get a high-capacity memory card.
Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 Digital Camera (Black) goes where you go--to the beach, swimming, skiing, biking--with never a worry, because the TX10 is dustproof, waterproof (to 16'/4.87 m)), freezeproof (to 14°F/-10°C) and shockproof from falls as high as 5'/1.5 m. Not only is it tough as nails, the TX10 also takes gorgeous 16.2MP high-resolution photos and full 1920 x 1080 HD video, with its wide-angle 4x 25-100mm (equivalent) zoom lens. The CMOS sensor gives you high speed, high resolution and amazing low-light sensitivity with superb clarity and greatly reduced grain.
The bright 3" LCD monitor (with 921K-dot resolution) makes it easy to compose your shots and check them during playback. Optical SteadyShot image stabilization and sensitivity up to 3200 ISO eliminate blurry pictures due to low light conditions. The Superior Auto mode recognizes 33 scenes for photographs and 44 scenes for movies, and supplies the optimal settings for each one of them. You can even shoot 10 full-resolution images in 1 second with high-speed shooting technology.
There are plenty of creative effects available too: 3D and 3D Sweep Panorama, Background Defocus (perfect for portraits with a professional look), and many more. For flattering pictures of friends and family, Soft Skin, Smile Shutter, and Anti-Blink modes give you the best pictures time after time. Superior Auto mode automatically and intelligently recognizes 36 different scenes and instantly supplies the best settings for each one.
- Rugged and Stylish
- This camera is just as much at home in the water as on a night on the town! The sleek and stylish TX10 fits the slimmest pocket or purse, yet is waterproof to a depth of 16', shockproof from falls up to approximately 5' and dustproof thanks to its airtight construction. This durable camera can even withstand extreme weather conditions, as it is operable in temperatures from 14 to 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Seamlessly shifting from underwater marvels to a night on the town, the TX10 always makes it easy to get the best shot!
- 16.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS Image Sensor
- The DSC-TX10 features a 16.2 megapixel "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera's Sony G 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 up to 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080i movie modes.
- Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens W/25mm (Equivalent) Wide Angle 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 Focus shoots close-ups within a 0.5" of the subject. A 25mm equivalent wide-angle lens allows you to take wider shots of the scene or group in crowded spaces.
- 3.0" XtraFine LCD Display
- 3.0" (920K) XtraFine LCD technology gives you brilliant-quality still images and movies with easy focus.
- Full HD 1080/60i
- Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080 Full HD. This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.
- Background Defocus
- DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis on your subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping the subject crisp and clear.
- 3D Still Image and Panorama
- Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama capabilities. Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new way.
- High-Resolution iSweep Panorama Mode
- With high resolution iSweep Panorama mode just press the shutter, pan the landscape and let the camera do the rest. It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution panoramic image providing the ability to zoom in on small details. This model even detects faces and moving subjects to stitch intelligently different widths to help avoid subject distortion.
- Superior Auto Mode
- Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The camera automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 33 scenes for still images and 44 scenes for movies, making it easy to get the best shot.
- Backlight Correction HDR
- Don't miss a single detail in high contrast shots. The built in backlight correction analyzes the image and automatically adjusts accordingly to give you a perfectly lit shot. Backlight Correction HDR helps correct for this by taking three pictures at different exposure settings and processing the best elements of each into a single image for more natural looking shots.
- High-Speed Shooting
- The DSC-TX10 can capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, the DSC-TX10 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.
- Sweep Multi Angle Mode
- In Sweep Multi Angle mode, the camera takes 15 images at different angles as it sweeps across the scene. By tilting the camera during playback, the camera's Gyro Sensor detects motion and displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera's LCD.
- Digital Zoom
- Capturing the right shot at the right moment has never been so easy. Digital zoom brings you right close up to the action so you can get that perfect shot, every time.
- Natural Flash
- Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike images.
- 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.
- Face Detection Technology
- Sony's Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends.
- Soft Skin Mode
- Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot.
- 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. You can also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can be used together with Smile Shutter mode. 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.
- HDMI Output
- The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams. HDMI connects digital audio/video sources such as a compatible camcorder, Blu-ray Disc player, a personal computer, a video game console, or an AV receiver to a compatible digital audio device and/or video monitor such as a digital television (DTV). Easily connect your Cyber-shot camera via HDMI cable to any compatible HDMI compatible device to easily enjoy and upload your content.
- TransferJet Technology
- TransferJet technology, developed by Sony and advanced and promoted by a consortium of 18 other companies, allows you to transfer up to ten files between two TransferJet enabled devices just by touching their TransferJet logos together, without the hassle of hunting for cables or the complication of pairing.
- 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.
- 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-TX10 captures six images in a fraction of a second with higher shutter speed and combines the data from all six to create a single image of extraordinary detail and dramatically reduce subject blur, beyond the capability of traditional cameras.
- Includes Sony PMB (Picture Motion Browser) Software Ver. 5.5
- Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort, and view your video and still images on your compatible PC. In addition, multiple output options let you burn your memories to DVD using an external DVD burning device (sold separately), as well as take advantage of one click upload to a number of popular video and photo sharing sites (such as Facebook and Sony's Personal Space site).
- Includes Sony PMB Portable software
- With the pre-installed Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable 5.5 software the DSC-TX10 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.
- Compatible with PC and Mac Systems
- The Full HD video captured with the DSC-TX10 can be used with the provided Picture Motion Browser software for PC and iMovie (sold separately) for Mac systems.

Let me start of and say, I haven't bought a camera in a LONG TIME........ (Not since early 2000).
I enjoy taking pictures, but all I want is convenience, with a little creativity and ruggedness.
I pretty much bought this camera to use for everyday use (parties, outings, etc...), as well as being rugged enough to take a beating (not that I treat my stuff badly, but hey, I'm kind of clumsy...sometimes).
It does what it says it will do and that all the other reviews here and on the Web are pretty accurate (I don't know about the..."IT DOESN'T WORK UNDERWATER...." reviews, as I haven't used it in water), this is why I'm giving it 4 stars, I might change my star rating when/if I use it in water.
I also haven't used the 3D features as I don't own the latest and greatest 3D TV's/Computers. If 3D does take off (unlike 8 Track/BETA/MiniDisk/HD DVD's) , it would be I guess future proof in that way, but I have no way in saying how good the quality is.
Get to know your camera, what it can do and can't do. If you are spending extra cash on something electronic, get the extra insurance. I can see a piece of hair or dust, anything small enough to keep the seal "open" to let moisture/water into the camera and ruining it. Also going from a cool, air conditioned environment to a hot and humid environment might cause condensation in the device or visa versa. These are just my thoughts, so please take it with a grain of salt.
On to the touch screen, yes it is a little finicky, but I found that if my hands were bone dry it wouldn't be responsive, as soon as I licked my finger it worked (I guess using hand lotion would work as well). This is during the winter, so summertime might be a different story; this is why I put the touch screen as both pros/cons below. I use a touch phone and it is not of the fruit kind, so I am used to the touch screen lag (I want it to respond NOW >:( ... eye roll).
I bought this camera with the bundle package - extra battery/8GB class 6 card/pouch/2 yr Sage protection and it was well worth the bundle. I did take around 340-350 pictures at 1 of the holiday parties and I needed the spare battery (whew). This is of course with a lot of reviewing and some 2-3 minute videos.
Tip & Tricks
I noticed when I use 12MP I get to utilize the widescreen/16:9 pictures, which uses all of the real estate on the LCD instead of the full 16MP, portrait/4:3 pictures that only uses 2/3's of the LCD. Unless you are planning to have you pictures blown up to enormous sizes 12MP is good for regular size photos/facebook.
For panorama, I changed the setting to take the photo vertically, turning the camera 1/4 turn, then pan horizontally in the direction it states to go, this is to make the pictures larger in height. This is great for facebook purposes as you can view panorama pictures larger than the usual, photo horizontal, then pan horizontal.
Do yourself a favor and if you want to keep your LCD screen nice, buy a screen protector.
Use the wrist strap, this camera is a slippery sucker.
Pros:
- Taking pictures without the flash in low light is great very natural looking.
- Very easy menu to understand/straight forward
- Touch screen
- Large LCD screen
- HD movies
- Background defocus
- Panorama
- Takes pictures quickly as long as you are in the correct setting, not the auto/scene settings.
Cons
- Movie takes long to start recording (if in picture mode 1st)
- Touch screen
- Have to charge the battery within the camera
- No HDMI cable included :'(
I really enjoy this camera as the learning curve for me was quick and painless, but then, I'm kind of a tech geek guy.

Many negative reviews were written for this camera, and the preceding DSC-TX5. Sony advertises camara as waterproof. I rationalised paying extra for this camera to get this waterproof feature. First time jumping into a swimming pool, the camera got water in it. The camera was well within the warranty period. Sony would not cover the water damage. I was disappointed. The warranty department said the camera had corrosion???? I believe the camera is of a design, that does not stand up to the integrity, Sony is advertising. Many reviews state the same incidence. I would not have bought the camera if I read all the negative reviews. I will not buy another Sony camera based on Sony's warranty service.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 Digital Camera (Black):
I am a college student who knows that things spill, get dropped, etc. Therefore, I bought this "crushproof, waterproof..." camera with the hopes it would withstand a beating. It seems more fragile than my Pentax Optio (old waterproof camera) and I have not tested it underwater yet. It withstood the craziness of my pocket at Mardi Gras, but it remains to be scene whether it can handle a Senior Year Spring Break. Update to come.
The touchscreen is a little annoying, although nowhere near as bad as some reviews say.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 Digital Camera (Black):
I love this little camera. It's SO light and small. In fact, it's so small that I would not recommend it for people with big hands but it's perfect for petite people like me. You need to be quite precise when pushing buttons on screen and your fingers can easily get in the way of the lens.
Technically the quality is very good, nice pictures (for a point-and-shoot) and amazing HD video. Awesome to take panoramic photos with the "sweep panorama" feature. I haven't used it underwater yet but with a small child I like the idea of the camera being water and dust proof!
Highly recommended for travel as it's so portable, has a great panorama feature and has wide-angle.

works well, even low light. Already dropped it on tile from the kitchen counter and still seems to work with no issues.
Actually would rather have lower resolution, 16mp just seems so pointless, testing with 5mp, but don't know results yet.

Touch screen. Clear big pictures for oldies. Easy mode for the technologically disadvantaged like me. Dummy proof, can press everything and not destroy it. Many modes and settings for different pictures. Still experimenting. Get my big finger in the way of the photo sometimes as I am not use to a gadget that is so small. Great pictures. Can't wait to use it underwater.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 Digital Camera (Black):
The manual of use is so simple. It would be better more complete instructions of use. I like the small size and the quality of pictures and video. The wide angle is great, but I´d like a little more power zoom.
The touch screen sometimes no response, and sometimes is very sensitive and you access a function that you don´t want. I prefer buttons.
I like the auto selection to close focus. I like the caption of natural colors in flowers, (magenta).
I´ve couldn´t have access to the program for see my videos. Sony must include the drivers and the program with your purchase and the cables for conect to a TV.
The flash control is limited. Only auto and cancel, sometimes you want to add the flash for special situations and you can´t.
Great combination: waterproof and housing. But you need learn to use with your experience, not with the manual.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 Digital Camera (Black):
Good shots. Nice panorama mode and easy for use.
Two things should be improve. The shutter delay between the shots and the touch screen sensibility.
I recommend this camera for travellers.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 Digital Camera (Black):
Many negative reviews were written for this camera, and the preceding DSC-TX5. Sony advertises camara as waterproof. I rationalised paying extra for this camera to get this waterproof feature. First time jumping into a swimming pool, the camera got water in it. The camera was well within the warranty period. Sony would not cover the water damage. I was disappointed. The warranty department said the camera had corrosion???? I believe the camera is of a design, that does not stand up to the integrity, Sony is advertising. Many reviews state the same incidence. I would not have bought the camera if I read all the negative reviews. I will not buy another Sony camera based on Sony's warranty service.

Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 Digital Camera (Black):
- I used it for a trip in Montreal and New York, and in a Canadian Parc called Mauricie. I also tried taking photos under water (swimming pool and lake).
- Pictures and even videos are of very high quality, whatever the conditions are : day, night, panorama, portrait, underwater, city, countryside, etc...
- Maybe zoom is a little be just but you can arrange this by redimensionning the photo on your computer (quality is so high than you can easily zoom on the computer). Battery drops in a day and a half with very intensive use. At the beginning, you often mask the scope with your finger but it is a habit that you quickly loose
