If you’re looking for a camera with the wow factor the moment you take it out of your bag, there’s nothing quite like the new Cyber-shot DSC-TX55. At a mere 12.2mm thick, it’s the slimmest compact camera ever – thinner in fact than many smartphones. A truly iconic design that fits in any pocket and goes anywhere life takes you, yet still includes all the high performance features you expect in a top quality camera. Your friends will be full of envy. Beyond the slim lines and sleek profile lies a sophisticated 16.2 effective megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor with high speed BIONZ image processor. This combination of technology allows you to shoot intensely detailed, high resolution images at 10 frames per second that look sharp and lifelike even when enlarged up to A3 size. The 1/2.3-type sensor absorbs twice as much light as a conventional sensor so low-noise pictures stay perfectly clear and defined even in poor light. With faster processing speeds between the processor and sensor, you’ll enjoy an array of sophisticated shooting functions at all times of day, from dawn to dusk, indoors and outdoors. Head out with friends or family and be ready to capture full high definition movies in 1920x1080 resolution. Just press the MOVIE button to start recording anywhere and anytime – it’s that easy. Efficient AVCHD video compression technology optimises file size for easy storage and sharing on your PC. This is also the first Cyber-shot to include Intelligent Scene Recognition in movie mode. The camera recognises scenes and shooting conditions, then automatically adjusts settings to get the best possible results. It manages to pack in a high resolution 3.3-inch OLED LCD with a sensitive touch screen. Framing shots is really easy on the large size screen with everything crystal clear in fine detail and high contrast. Touch the screen to access a range of modes and settings or review your shots. Scroll through latest compositions by sliding your finger across the screen. Quick and easy – the way it should be. How about an attractive background blur effect? No problem with Background Defocus. Select low, medium or high blur, then push the shutter button to continuously shoot two frames. The camera then analyses the position of the main subject with the foreground and background before processing the blur effect. Just like an SLR, without you having to make difficult settings. Here’s a single lens camera that lets you shoot 3D still images and 3D Sweep Panorama landscapes, all in a super-thin design that’s much easier to carry around than a dual lens 3D camera. Take 3D single shot still photos for playback on your 3D TV – especially good for sports and kids playing. Capture stunning landscapes and cityscapes in panoramic 3D with Intelligent 3D Sweep Panorama. Simply press the shutter while sweeping the camera from side to side or up and down to shoot a high-speed burst of frames. Images are then automatically stitched together to create one amazing panoramic picture
