Customer Review: Expensive but worth it for great pics, videos, and features!
Summary: 5 Stars
First, I want to give props to Sony for adding a SD/SDHC media slot, otherwise, I would not even consider this digital camera. I do not want to pay double the price for Sony's Memory Stick Duo versus SD/SDHC cards with same capacity. When shopping for a new camera, I considered all the major brands and Sony's DSC-TX1 and CyberShot T90. Currently, I have a Canon PowerShot SD600 digital camera that has given me many many great pics. However, its about four years old and I want the newest, latest technology. I searched the web for all the digital cameras I was interested in and then went to Best Buys and Fry's Electronic to see and test them. Nothing, I felt, came close to this camera with all its features. The Sony DSC-TX7 is slim, about two-thirds of an inch thick, but there are other thinner digital cameras out there if that is what you are looking for. My Canon dimensions overall is smaller than this camera. Turning on the camera is quick and easy. Slide the cover down and it's ready to take pics/videos in about 2 seconds. The lens does not pop out like many other digital cameras. The lens stay internal even when using the optical zoom, which is why it's only 4X. Not a problem if your subject is not distant. It's wide angle lens allows you to get more picture or closer to your subject. A small issue I encountered is that sometimes while sliding the cover open, my thumb would touch the top of the lens dirtying it. I have an average size hand so it may be a concern for those with large hands. The 3.5" touchscreen LCD viewfinder was absolutely the best with excellent sharpness, brightness and clarity. I suggest you try it at the store and you will see when you compare it to other cameras. Give credit to the optics of a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens and xtra fine LCD screen. In full sun, I was clearly able see the the subject in the viewfinder. With my Canon, the screen was totally dark and even with my hand partially blocking the sunlight, it was very difficult to see anything. I have taken hundreds of photos/videos with the TX7 in many different lighting conditions and I am very pleased with the results. The photos/videos are clear and sharp, and the colors are vivid and fairly accurate. In low-light conditions without the flash, the TX7 takes very good pics that was much less grainy than my Canon SD600. For extreme close-ups, it has two settings, macro and super macro. With super macro, I was able to be one-inch away and still have a super sharp focus on the subject I was pointing at. You won't find that with any other brand camera unless its a DSLR camera. The iSweep Panorama Mode is very cool, simple and easy to use. After pressing the panorama mode and then the start icon, just move the camera slowly in one direction and it will capture a panorama picture. That's it and the camera does the rest. No need for photo editing software to stitch your photos together. The battery life has so far been good. I have used the camera all day long, taking mostly photos and some videos, and have not had a dead battery. Sorry, but I did not count the number of photos taken or the length of the videos. An extra Sony battery will run about $50, quite expensive, so I am waiting for the generic ones to come out on eBay, which will cost considerably less. The TX7 has only 45 MB of internal memory, which is not much so I bought a 16 GB SDHC, class 6, memory card on Amazon for about $40.00. That will allow me about 5 hours of HD quality video or thousands of high-resolution photos. Besides the high price for this camera, I love this camera!
