Since cameras are our window to the good times that we spent with family or friends, it must travel with us everywhere, right? Even inside a water body to record the wonderful life that lives underwater. Perhaps with this idea, rugged cameras were made – they were dust proof, shock resistant and could even function under water. One such camera, which is not only rugged but also the slimmest rugged camera, is the Sony Cybershot DSC-TX5, which comes with resolution of 10.2mp and a zoom capacity of 4x, with a 35mm equivalent of 25mm to 100mm.
Design and FunctioningThough the Sony Cybershot DSC-TX5 looks like any other ultra slim camera, with the size slightly bigger than a credit card and a width as small as 17.7mm. Its texture is glossy, its design is fluid and it is available in colours like Magenta, Baby Pink, Midnight Black, Metallic Silver, Azure Blue and even Cool Lavender. It comes under the category of tough cameras that can be used to take pictures under water upto 3 meters, is dust proof as well as shock proof. This camera features a 10.2 megapixel “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens. It also offers intuitive functions to the multi-purpose touch screen, such as the ability to select the focus point with a simple touch, scroll through images by sliding the finger across the screen and one-touch access to the Menu. Its Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization function uses a built-in gyro sensor to detect camera shake and automatically compensates to help prevent blur without sacrificing image quality. It contains internal memory worth 45MB and is compatible with Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick PRO Duo (High Speed) and Memory Stick PRO HG-Duo apart from SD/SDHC/SDXC media.
