Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 Digital Camera (Pink) 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).

          Comments about Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX10 Digital Camera (Pink):

          I was actually planning to purchase the TX-5 but when I saw the TX-10 coming out, I decided to wait for it and purchased it right away when b&h finally had it. I already have a dslr and the reason why I bought this camera was I needed a compact one in my purse to compliment my bigger camera plus I was going on a vacation to the beach and I wanted a camera that I could take in the water without it breaking down on me or it having scratches when it gets hit by sand.

          It was very much worth the wait because during my trip, my friends and I went reef walking and I was able to submerge this camera 15ft and it was still able to take really good and not to mention very clear pictures. It was submerged for a good 30 minutes and I was expecting it to give up anytime soon but that trip was 7 months ago and the camera still works like new. It pretty much can take good pictures like my dslr and I
          have no problems with it at all. Plus I love the soft skin feature of it too. I was also able to use this camera as a video camera for a friend's school project and it had no problems whatsoever recording 30 minutes straight. The video was very clear and had minimal noise.

          The only negative thing I have to say about it is it takes a while to power it up, because when you turn it on, it leads you to a screen that reminds you that the battery panel and the side panel has to be checked so that water cannot enter it. And I still don't know how to turn this reminder off. Plus it has a short battery life, and it doesn't come with a separate charger so I had to buy the quick charger because I didn't want to plug my camera in the wall. And lastly, I don't like the slide panel on the front because it seems like its the first thing that would break if the person handling the camera is not very careful with it when they operate it.

          Overall, I would definitely recommend this to a friend (which I already did - and they're purchasing their own units very soon). And I like how it still looks brand new because the front is matte finished so its scratch resistant. I very much love this camera. I use it almost everyday and I think it was worth the investment.

                I bought this camera because the one I had was so outdated. I use it mostly for personal use but I am in nursing school and one of my requirements is to take an at class so I am taking digital photography in the spring. I really don't have any complaints about the product. It takes awesome pictures and is very easy to learn how to use. I can't wait for next semester to learn more about it with shutter apples and aperture and all the other different things it can do! I would recommends buying this camera to anybody!

                A step up above the DSC-TX5,
                pros: a better user interface, screen is flush to back ( smooth looking), Video is way better (HD) , less buttons, love the new auto feature, and back ground blur mode, and took away the digital zoom, ( which made pics look noisy )

                Cons: takes a little more to open the lens cover, movie button is a pro, but takes a while to actually start recording ( 10 sec or so)

                It's pink, waterproof up to 30ft, shockproof, and freeze proof, did I mention it was pink! Bought it for my wife, she loves it, it's our official new travel camera. The photos and video are outstanding, good sound quality on the video too!. Feels like an iPhone in the hand, battery goes quick, hence the 4 stars. So, I bought a second battery, and of course the pink case, and the 16GB HG DUO card. Oh yeah, I love my wife!
