Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony Party-Shot Personal Photographer for Sony TX1 and WX1 Digital Cameras
Customer Review: Its a very VERY good accessory and companion to your camera
Summary: 5 Stars
I just dont know why people have not posted reviews about this little gadget... it sold out fairly quick (estimated time for delivery on amazon is about 1 to 2 months)
Thats why ill write my review about this little gizmo.
These are probably the things you already know:
Its an automatic photographer
it uses two AA batteries
and no, IT WILL NOT WORK with your older cameras (only the WX1 and the TX1 will work)
it can be mounted on any tripod
The things you might not know:
it really is a novelty item, as a previous poster said: It might catch up (I think it will) or it might just fade away like the sony rolly
This thing is literally a robot. You put your camera on the base and thats it... the base will start looking for faces and snap some pictures.
It has a mind of its own... you let the base take the pics and thats about it.
I've used it on a family dinner (about two hours) and it took around 237 pics. about 160 pics were awesome... the other were not that great (blurry, low light etc)
I got positive comments about it, but some family members felt uncomfortable by it... why?
As I said before it has a mind of its own, and if it really likes you (and believe it or not, it choses its favorite subjects) it will stare at you for a long time until it gets a good picture (it took about 10 pictures of my brother before changing subjects)
A nice little feature it has is that it detects when a person blinks. In the weird event that it snaps a picture at the same time the subject closes his or her eyes then it will mark it as "blink eye detected" and immediately snap another one.
Dont expect to put this thing on a tripod and take pictures all around your dinning room. Remember that it is limited by the camera's lens. In other words, it works best with the WX1 (yes, I have both, the WX1 and the TX1)
This thing works best at a table, or with a closed group of people, not in a huge party.
aside from being a new gadget I think its very useful and practical because you forget about taking pics
On a side note:
It works best when you ignore it. Disable your cameras flash and let it go... Try it, you wont be dissapointed
I hope you find this a helpful review and yes.. I would buy this thing again!
(if you are also looking for the camera, go for the WX1... its not as feature packed as the TX1 but it has a better lens =) )
