Review by Yash Desai for Sony DSC-TX7 10.2MP CMOS Digital Camera with 4x Zoom with Optical Steady Shot Image Stabilization and 3.5 inch Touch Screen LCD (Silver)

Let me start this review with saying that I have owned quite a few digital cameras in the past. Sony (W50, W250), Canon (SD750, SD760IS) and Nikon (S5 or something) are amongst the brands I have tried. All of them were compact point-shoot cameras.
My ideal digital camera is one where the following conditions are met:
1. I don’t have to think of the environment I am in (day or night)
2. It MUST be compact so I can carry it around easily, fit it in my pocket, etc.
3. It should just work without changing settings all the time.
This is exactly that!
Good Points:
-> Best low-light pictures (finally!!!)
-> Amazing Panaromic mode. It is sooo easy to use.
-> So many modes, but auto is the best mode.
-> Tap to focus certain areas of the screen! Very cool.
-> The most compact camera I have seen that has a solid build to it. Nothing cheap about it (including the price!)
-> Ability to zoom while recording HD movies! A huge plus.
-> 29 minutes of continuous video recording. (most cameras only allow 10)
-> The touch screen has an ‘easy mode’ (aka idiot mode), which hides away all the advanced features and makes it very easy to use
-> My SDHC card works (min 8gb recommended)
-> Made in Japan (no offense, but to me this says alot about the build quality)
Minor Points:
-> Battery is not the best, but is not horrible either. Would recommend trying it out first. For most people, it should not be a problem, However, it is so tiny that you can easily carry a couple of them with you. Wait for the prices to come down on the battery and snag a couple of them.
-> The silver is actually dark silver. You could even say its dark grey. Looks much better in reality than in pictures. Having said that, I think the Red would be sexy as well!
Verdict: Definite Buy!

Sony recently introduced this camera at CES and it is an upgrade on the TX1 model from last year.
I ordered the silver one – it is much darker than the pictures show, so expect it to be a gun metal gray color. Size wise its about an inch shorter than an iPhone, about the same width. Fits nicely in one’s pocket. The touch screen is slightly larger than an iPhone’s screen. Quality of the build is about the same as a low end Cannon, but not as good as you would expect in a Cannon G10 or G11 (which I love). The finish on the plug-in battery charger is poor – you can tell it is “Made in China” than “Made in Japan”. The camera itself is made in Japan and the finsih is good, maybe a little flimsy (e.g. battery compartment door)- I wonder what it would look like after a few years of handling especially on vacations. Some of this may be due to its diminutive size.
Overall it takes good pictures and I was attracted by a few features which are not typically available on other camers: (1) Hand held twilight mode which makes for great low light pictures (2)AVCHD Video mode (which plays quite well with Windows Media Player) and (3) Panorama mode which stiches pictures together.Most people don’t realize that this camera uses the widely available (and inexpensive) SD cards rather than Sony’s proprietary cards. The screen is beautiful, but the menu system takes some getting used to, especially if you have been using Nikon or Cannon cameras.
A few of the issues with this camera:
(1) The slider which comes down to take pictures is slippery and lacks grip – Sony should have created a ridge to assist in the sliding motion
(2) It’s very easy to get your finger in the picture – so if you are accustomed to holding your camera with both hands, watch out for your finger in pictures (lens placement is not optimal)
(3) The manual which comes with the camera is useless – you have to download the manual from the accompanying CD – even that is not the best – wish they could have made it more user friendly
(4) Battery life could be improved
Overall, I would recommend this camera – the price is about fifty dollars higher than its value, but it does have quite a few bells and whistles.

Many times with electronics there are features that sound great but don’t really live up to expectations. The TX7 has a very interesting feature list and the great thing is none are a let down, IMO. Everything just works. The low light ability of this camera is a real stand out. If you’re like me and dislike photos taken with a flash you’ll love handheld twilight. In this mode the camera takes 6 photos with different settings in less than a second and combines them into one that results in a low light picture that looks exactly like what you see with your eyes. Most of the time you’ll probably have the camera in iAuto mode and it works excellent. The nice thing is it instantly shows the setting it’s picked for you on the screen just by pointing the camera so you know it’s working, and on that same point can manually change the settings if you want something different. Turn on iSCN+ while in iAUTO and it’ll take 2 pics (instantly, with one press) with different settings and saves them both, so you almost always end up with a shot you like in auto mode. The panorama mode is very cool and fool proof. Then of course there is the HD video! 1920×1080 60i HD video with stereo audio. Video quality is excellent and wrapped up with everything else this camera offers makes it a great choice. With electronics something better always comes out after you buy a product, but I believe with this camera you can buy it now and use it for years to come without feeling compelled to upgrade because it has great features and great quality photo and video.

I am just back from two weeks in southern France with my new DSC-TX7. I love this camera. I took about a thousand photos and about an hour of video, and it all fit comfortably within the amount of available memory in the camera. I especially like the convenience of this unit. I carried it in the pocket of my jeans the whole trip. I could pop it out, turn it on, and take a shot on very short notice. The low light capability is amazing; I shot some photos inside a cave and the camera brought out colors and details my naked eye could not see. The panorama mode is fun and easy and produces great high-res images. I brought along a new HD video camcorder and wound up not using it after I discovered the video mode in the TSC-TX7 produces beautiful HD-resolution full frame-rate video.
Operating the camera is fun and easy and does not require reading the manual (for me anyway). The 3-1/2″ touch-screen display is big and crisp and does everything you’d expect. It lets you easily adjust settings and modes, browse through your images, etc. When I returned from travel, I connected the camera to my HD TV display via an HDMI cable, set the camera to “slide show” mode, and voila, it created a great presentation, interspersing the video clips and the stills in the order they were shot. The display style and background music is selectable, and you can even upload your own audio tracks if you want. The lens and zoom system (4x optical) is a great balance and very practical. I was trying to read the fine print on a map and realized that I could use the camera as a magnifying glass. At 1.0 zoom it goes to a “close focus” mode and lets you get within a quarter of an inch of the subject. The flash is plenty bright and can be easily turned off. There are three burst modes (low, mid, high) that work great.
The only downsides I can note are that the battery life is somewhat short (I carried a second battery with me, and would switch it out typically at the end of a long day of shooting). The 4x zoom is usually sufficient to frame faraway subjects, but because the camera is so small, it can be hard to hold it steady. Video can come out jerky if you’re not careful in how steady you hold the camera, especially when zoomed. It’s a little hard to see the display in bright sunlight.
