In my view the Sony Cybershot DSC TX7 is the most feature packed pocket camera on the market. Its specification contains a number of features that you would struggle to find elsewhere. These include 1080i High Definition movies, touch screen control, anti blur technology, handheld twilight shooting, the ability to shoot at 10 frames per second and a sweep panorama mode.
A 1080i High Definition movie mode offers the potential for greater quality movies than the more standard 720p mode you find on the majority of digital cameras that offer High Definition movies. Touch control with the Cybershot DSC TX7 means exactly that. The vast majority of features and settings are selected via the screen. The anti blur and handheld twilight modes work by blending a series of shots together. The aim of these features is to deliver photos with less noise than you would otherwise find. The LCD screen is 3.5 inches in size. The ability to shoot at up to 10 frames per second at full resolution means that you should be able to capture all the action with the Cybershot DSC TX7.
In terms of looks, cameras in this part of the Sony range have their own unique design with sliding lens covers. The Cybershot DSC TX7 is a very attractive digital camera. It is available in silver, blue and red.
