Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX100V

 

The latest 2011 digicams continue to ramp up still and video quality. Have we finally topped out? Sony tries to break through the glass pixel ceiling with the Cyber-shot TX100V, the latest spin on its stylish TX series.

16.2-megapixel CMOS imager ; Outstanding 1080p videos ; Beautiful but frustrating 3.5-inch touch screen ; Great styling, even in red

Screen wipes out in strong sunshine ; Background Defocus effects are minimal ; Mics do not handle wind well

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V is a very good camera packed with features, but be prepared to deal with a washed-out screen in the sun.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V Review

 

The Cyber-shot TX100 is designed for the tech-savvy trendsetter.

Pocketable camera ; Stylish and tough ; Great video quality

Expensive ; Touch screen quirks ; Few manual inputs for advanced users

Indoor image quality is on par with competing digicams, but as sensitivity (automatically) rises to overcome lower levels of ambient lighting, noise levels rise exponentially and color accuracy suffers a bit. Noise levels are quite reasonable up to ISO...

Lab Test: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V Review

 

Slim, stylish, and feature packed, the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX100V aims to be the “Ultimate Point-and-Shoot”

Slim, stylish good looks ; Simple to use, nice touchscreen interface ; Packed with great features

Very aggressive noise reduction ; Lacks manual controls ; Tricky to open

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V is a truly pocketable compact that offers nearly all of today’s must-have camera features. It’s a surprisingly competent camera that any point and shoot photographer should be able to pick up and straight away start...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V Digital Camera

 

Maxell’s Encore EN-5 offer a rich, full sound for an affordable price, beating out nearly all of the headphones in the test. However, our testers didn’t think they were very comfortable, nor did this pair do a good job staying put during use....

nbsp ; Excellent sound quality ; Adjustable ; Can withstand multiple drops ; Water-resistant ; Light weight and wraps up tightly for easy portability

nbsp ; Didn’t take much force to remove the headphones during our force test ; Consumer testers didn’t find them very comfortable to wear for long periods of time ; Didn’t always stay put during use for our consumer testers

Better Than This Year's Models at Half the Price

 

Needed a new touchscreen camera and based on reviews this is the best of the bunch. As a 2011 model, it was only $199 (down from original price of $380) yet has a larger screen and all the meaningful features of the 2012 models costing more than double...

Love this Sony camera...

 

I did a lot of research, and I do mean a lot (my head was swimming with so many brands, features, etc.), and I am so happy I found this camera available at $199.00. I've seen it for much more, even being last year's model. I had set my limit for a...

Good Portable Camera

 

I wanted a camera that would fit easily in my pocket and also take good pictures. This one has fit the bill so far. The biggest selling point for me was the sliding door that protects the lens while the camera is off. All you have to do to start taking...
