The newest Sony TX10 Pink was released early on this month but it seems as if supplies are very limited. At the time of this publication, some color models only have a few items left in Amazon online marketplace, and we've heard from tech news that the Japan earthquake may have affected the supplies of the digital products from the nation.
Is it best to purchase it now before items are sold out or should you just wait for the upcoming cameras Sony has yet to release?
Pros and Cons of Sony Cybershot TX10
In case you have bought a Tx camera in the past then you will probably appreciate the small form factor in addition to the big 3" touch LCD screen, but the Sony TX10 Black has much better display solution at 921k dots, more touch sensitive and more advanced processor. I actually do not have huge demands for lightweight digital cameras but I was fascinated with the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX10 Compact Digital Camera's speed and picture quality.
Maybe the biggest disappointment from digicam buffs would be the unavailability of GPS for geotagging capability, which is somewhat odd for a digicam which is dedicated for outdoors people. But if you ask me, I cannot be concerned by that since it's fairly simple to insert this info on flickr and other photo sharing online sites anyway.
Pros: compact, light,waterproof, freezeproof,shockproof, more light sensitive,records full HD videos, 3D capability
Cons: Pretty Average 4x optical zoom, no geo-tagging, a bit expensive
Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX10 Black versus Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX5 16.2MP CMOS Digital Camera
Many people wanted to know the distinction between the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX10 Compact Digital Camera and the previous TX series devices, specifically the Sony TX5 Pink as the cost difference is rather huge yet there are no improvements on the design and style.It may look similar to its Cybershot TX family but the Sony Cybershot TX10 certainly has better impressive features. It films in Hi-def movie at 1080i as opposed to 780p of the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX5 Compact Digital Camera, while its Exmor-R sensor will allow for it to capture clear shots in poor light surroundings.
In case you are not really acquainted with Exmor R, it is just a modern camera sensing unit created by engineers at Sony for its main models this 2011. The tech giant claims it provides more than 2 times the lumination level of sensitivity of conventional sensing units and picks up much less picture noise. This really is practical for a water-proof digital camera because it's oviously dimly lit underwater. User testimonials have confirmed that the Sony Cybershot TX10 Pink is indeed more light sensitive.
But probably the greatest feature is the fact that the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX10 Black is able to shoot 3d photos even with only one lens, thanks to an algorithm hard-wired in the camera that kind of calculates the three dimensional outcome of two dimensional images. In case that won't amaze you, it is also able to snap pictures while recording a movie, as well as panoramic photos using Sony's Sweep Panorama technology.
There are plenty more improvements like increased megapixels (16 MP vs 10.2 MP), higher water-proof and shock proof features, as well as usb charging.
