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

this is my new everyday camera. I was using canon s90, GRD3 before TX10. This is perfect size, picture quality, and 1080 Movie(It is also working with iMovie perfectly). easy panorama picture and 3D Picture is one of great features on this camera.

Especially I love this is water, shock proof camera.

Touch is little bit hard compare with latest touch based smart phones but not too bad.

This is great camera. I bought this blue and black color.

Under max x4 zoom, picture quality is same as minimum zoom. AF is great too.

I liked black usually but blue is really cool color for this camera.

I wrote the earlier review about the lagging touch screen and seemingly flimsy lens cover. I am back from my trip to Europe and have some more feedback. Unfortunately, it is negative feedback mostly related to the user interface and functional items. It still takes fantastic pictures and video with a wonderful large screen. However, the touchscreen is still not the most responsive. Also, I found there to be a significant amount of lag from opening the shutter to being ready to take a picture, absolutely unacceptable to me. Also, the menu system was onerous. After taking a picture, to delete it you have to press play, then press delete, then press a button to say only that picture (versus all), then confirm the delete. That means you have to touch the screen FOUR times to delete one picture with a significant LAG between each touch. Please, hard buttons on the next camera. I would not recommend if you are even the slightest bit impatient like me. On the bright side, the lens cover is intact.

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

It is very compact. I do not use it for underwater, but for the same purpose as I used my DSC-TX1 before, i.e. video, still photo, Panaromic etc.

Nothing really great about this product.

DSC-TX1 was much better with a much responsive touch screen. This one is lousy and lazy touch screen. Also no improvement in picture quality. 3D is a big noise and 3D effect not visible on the camer's LCD screen, neither any software exists to see it on PC. This is the most useless spending I did so far. Just adding features does not add any value unless it is of good quality. I used to know SONY to be of good quality but all these new series are extremely poor products. My DSC-TX1 got spoilt after 13 months i.e. just after warranty was over, though I fixed by part purchase online. If I knew I could fix that, I would never buy DSC-TX10.

I recommend everyone to stay out of this new series.

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

    This camera is easy to use with its advanced Auto modes, panorama shooting, Movie mode, and 3d shooting. I have yet to use the Program Auto, Background defocus, and scene selection. I bought the camera for the fantastic pictures and movie mode along with the waterproof feature. The movies turned out better then expected and with an added bonus of taking pictures while in the movie mode. Also when I hook up the camera to the television with an HDMI cord (not included) I can use the TV remote to control the camera. This feature was a nice surprise. The camera is light weight, so much so that it feels like there is little inside, but a good size and takes great pictures. The only thing that I have that is negative right now is that the touchscreen has a slow response when reviewing pictures.

    Haven't taken it in water. Scared of the bad reviews about sony's warranty.seems like a nice little camera tho. Will put it to the test in cabo. Then come back and hike some snowy mountains with it. How can something be certified waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, and freezeproof, yet no one can get their warranty honored? Sounds very lame. At that point this is just another ok digital camera with an unreliable warranty,right?

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

      purchased as a gift,for christmas,but till then,I have been putting it through its paces.
      I have fell in love with it,and the fact that the video is HD and stabilized and can shoot in 16x9
      in both stills and video,great for the hdmi hookup
      to a HD tv.Lets face it,the old 4x3 printing looks
      better in widescreen,and beats viewing on digital
      devices,I-PAD,HD tv etc as opposed to 4x6,5x7 prints
      in an album.Very easy to use,right out of the box.
      No raw files though,and a outboard charger would be
      nice.Get a spare sony battery and a 16 gig memory card and your set...Macros are great and easy too

      I have been using this camera for about two weeks. The video quality is amazing. Picture quality is also really good, but I am upgrading from a 2004 point and shoot. Haven't got it wet yet. Bad thing is it only comes with a wall USB charger. Cannot charge the battery by itself. Also it does not come with any cables to hook up to hi def tv. To get everything you need plan on spending at least another $100 at least.

            We purchased the TX10 to take down the Grand Canyon - spending six nights on the river. Not only is the camera water proof but also has a Zeiss lens - the best out there. I loved the fact that you flip the cover to expose the lens and the camera is ready to shoot - sort of like drawing your gun and shooting whenever the scene shows itself. Everyone else on the trip thought it was great and wished they had brought one.

              I had a DSC-T1, loved it but it got outmoded by technology (my father still has it). Got a DSC-T700 and loved it but it got damaged but not covered by Sony's accidental damage policy (their Sonystyle website is not accurate about their warranty coverage).

              This replaces the Samsung TL225 that I bought after I swore Sony off. Well, I'm back after they added the waterproof feature and improved the camera features & made it rugged. The dual view was the only good thing about the Samsung.

              Likes of the DSC-TX10:
              - Photo quality is great.
              - The Panoramic modes are awesome, love them.
              - 10 FPS at full resolution, it is awesome
              - Waterproof and pictures in the pool, very neat.
              - Decent battery life compared to older DSC models I've owned.
              - The video mode is excellent, lets you zoom in to 16X. No need for a movie camera.

              Areas for improvement:
              - There should be a way to turn the flash on quickly if the camera is set for burst mode. Fiddling with the settings to get a flash picture is cumbersome and a manual override for the flash would be great.

                    I wrote the earlier review about the lagging touch screen and seemingly flimsy lens cover. I am back from my trip to Europe and have some more feedback. Unfortunately, it is negative feedback mostly related to the user interface and functional items. It still takes fantastic pictures and video with a wonderful large screen. However, the touchscreen is still not the most responsive. Also, I found there to be a significant amount of lag from opening the shutter to being ready to take a picture, absolutely unacceptable to me. Also, the menu system was onerous. After taking a picture, to delete it you have to press play, then press delete, then press a button to say only that picture (versus all), then confirm the delete. That means you have to touch the screen FOUR times to delete one picture with a significant LAG between each touch. Please, hard buttons on the next camera. I would not recommend if you are even the slightest bit impatient like me. On the bright side, the lens cover is intact.

                    Took a bunch of shots indoors, not one out of focus! Choice of movie quality from full HD to VGA and you can record more than 2 hrs on a 4GB card in VGA. Not quite as comfortable to hold and shoot as the T5 was. Need to be aware of the left hand, fingers constantly getting into the lens.

                        this is my new everyday camera. I was using canon s90, GRD3 before TX10. This is perfect size, picture quality, and 1080 Movie(It is also working with iMovie perfectly). easy panorama picture and 3D Picture is one of great features on this camera.

                        Especially I love this is water, shock proof camera.

                        Touch is little bit hard compare with latest touch based smart phones but not too bad.

                        This is great camera. I bought this blue and black color.

                        Under max x4 zoom, picture quality is same as minimum zoom. AF is great too.

                        I liked black usually but blue is really cool color for this camera.

                        I got this camera in anticipation of an upcoming trip to Europe. I own a Sony DSC-T9 and aside from having to use Memory Stick media, really like the camera. I got the TX10 for it's waterproof, dustproof, shockproof features (plan on taking it to the beach too). The screen is nice and large, but I think I would still trade the larger screen in for the hard buttons. The screen seems to lag and there are multiple layers of menus. The lens cover seems flimsy and is a bit difficult to open, especially compared to the T9. The camera feels more fragile than the T9 as well because of that screen. Overall, I'll give it a 3/5.
