Sony CyberShot TX7 Review

>...

Today we are watching one of the hottest cameras announced in early January at the annual CES event. He came from the Sony booth and part of the family T-series are ultra compact point and shoot camera. Features Cybershot T series is that all the high end camera with a slim body and slide over the lens Carl Zeiss ®. They also carry a high price-tag, but unfortunately the camera we discussed today is no different. With a price tag of $ 400 and February 2010 release date, I am of course talking about the Sony Cybershot TX7.

...

Cybershot TX7 is packed as you can with the Sony proizvoda.Pakiranje is very small and has a basic printed on it. Amazing blue version is shown in all cases, it does not depend on the color model iznutra.Prvo you'll see the manual, registration papers and ads for accessories, including the Party-shot station. After that, finally see the camera you are reading so much about tome.Sony TX7 immediately draws attention to himself for a slim and premium design, more on that later. Sony is quite generous on the cable side of things. You get the AC charger cable, USB cable and stereo audio cable to connect the dock to the stereo system, but the HD people will mention that the sound can be transmitted over the HDMI cable so the cable will probably not be much use.

HDMI cable online so you have to buy one of those if you want to connect the camera directly to the TV. Also absent is a DC power cord, so while it may not be used as a charger right out of the box, I was a little disappointed with that. I must say I was surprised that moderate cuff and Exmor R mentioned are attached to the camera right out of the box. After removal and I was all ready to insert the included battery (really small battery, a new generation is not found in the previous T cameras) and SD memory. Yes Sony Cybershot TX7 is a first for support, not just the memory of Pro Duo, and SD and SDHC.

There is one thing to pen kutiji.Malo can control the touch screen s. I do not think anyone want to use it, but it nevertheless deserves mention for the fans. One circumstance pen can really shine when using the drawing features of the camera. And that's all you'll find in the box. In addition to HDMI cable and DC cable, pretty much everything you could want for there.

design

The first thing you notice when glancing at the TX7 is a slim aluminum design. Its all in brushed aluminum and the lens cover up, only two things that pop and Sony Cybershot logo. All that might distract you from the minimalist design are hidden behind the lens cover. It is interesting to see that Sony has decided to change some of the features that a small body of TX1 and the T900. For a Sony logo is now in the middle of the Cybershot name is removed from the cover to the lower body. Also gone is the curve of the lens cover, which is the older models look like the cover is actually going to the back of the unit. With the lid down, things still look relatively clean. The lens is located on the left side of the flash right next to nje.Stereo microphones are located slightly to the right.

Moving on to the back. It's almost all screen, edge to edge. There are almost no keys like the camera controls the 3.5 "touchscreen. Sony has done a great job of getting rid of the broad edges around the screen. On the right side are placed a small metal ring, where you can add your wrist band on. Compared with the previous T series cameras ferrule is now really small which is great. Some people might prefer a more wider cuff attachment, because even though he allowed them to keep your thumb on it to get that extra stability. Sony has also added an extra button that is dedicated to the film / photo button. in addition you will get the same keys that TX1 users have. on / off (you can also turn on the device sliding lens cover), the trigger, the game button to display your photos and last but not least the zoom rocker.

I have a complaint about the design: Why so much a technical brand? Featuring Sony printed a lot of technical terms, some of which we did not understand. At the top reads: HDavchd, which is one of the video formats it can record and just above the touch screen will remind you that this camera is the new Exmor R sensor. You may add the information to make an impulsive kupaca.Kuća dad who bought a new camera because it looked great, and then comes home and says, 'Look dear, I bought this camera has Exmor R and optical Steady Shot. I think it's really good .'

that good does not always judge a book by its cover. Fortunately brand is so annoying especially when compared to the amount of any other camera on the market. But I would applaud a company that manages to publish without a camera brands (except for company logos and video series). Maybe it's just impossible, because the rights and patents, or something like that.

the overall design of the Sony Cybershot TX7 is amazing. It seems so clear for a digital camera. Believe me, this camera will turn heads and people will not immediately recognize it as a digital camera. Which is great because a point and shoot and SLR products are not known for their design. Also, think benefits, such as when you want to take pictures of high school sweetheart before you actually ask her out or something.

Ease of use

for this part of the review I wanted to, not only in my opinion, but those few people around me. But first I want to mention that I quickly found patterns in control as it is easy to drive for me. On the left and right side you will see lots of icons showing ways that are active in that particular moment. For example, when you activated the panoramic mode is a little icon on the left will tell you about it. If you want to change to another mode, simply click on the logo and select panorama mode that best suits your needs. The options are: Twilight (6 shots becomes 1, ideal for low light), 10 fps burst mode (10 frames per second, making it ideal for fast moving objects), Panorama (City to make, ideal for landscapes) and the HDR mode (2 images with different settings, ideal for high-contrast images ).

Sony TX7 perfectly implemented this system in all its controls. Click on the hour to set up, click the menu button to access the settings, etc. For me, at first I was skeptical of new dedicated film / photo button. I thought it was a waste of space as you can also switch modes with the touch screen. But as I started shooting photos and films that I found myself reaching for the lot. It's just a lot easier and quicker to use physically somehow the button to switch between video and photo functions.

Sony has done a great job with the TX7 on ease of use department. The buttons on the left and right hand not only the keys, they are also indicators of ways and settings you've chosen for this snimku.Posvećen button (shutter, zoom, video / photo gallery and show) are really the bare essentials and the things you always want to have in the scope. Not everything is perfect, though. For a touchscreen is good, but not velika.IPhone will win its capacitive touchscreen and multi-touch. And secondly there is no way to see which settings you used a photo taken. It would be great if you could hit the little info button and get all the information you got while you were to take a picture.

Now, I showed the camera a few passers-by, you know, mom, grandma, aunt, and asked them for their honest opinion. They all said that the camera is very easy to use. The icons are clear and few buttons Sony TX7 is one of the few cameras that does not intimidate customers. Unlike the Panasonic Lumix TS1, which rumors say scared Bill Gates once. Thus, it appears that the device is easy to use for both tech geeks like me and regular humans.

specifications and features

Sony Cybershot TX7 comes with all the latest technology from SONY.Načini includes: smile mode (the camera takes photos when subject smiles), Face Detection, Panorama, 10 fps Burst, sunset and more. AUTO mode will be the way most people leave it on. In this mode, the camera automatically detects whether you are trying to shoot macro, twilight or any other shot. He also knows when it is on a tripod, which is really cool.

image quality

total image of the point and shoot can produce pretty good. With its wide-angle lens (25mm), landscape photography, please do and see. But I have not noticed a touch of softness at the edges. And because the camera tries to keep the noise, some sharpness goes lost in the process. The colors are realistic, but some users may not like it, because they are not really as mercury and certain other agreements in the market. But for me I prefer a more realistic look, "Disney" feel that has become very popular these days.

panorama shots are great, a real plus. They always do, I shot 10 to now, all 10 are impeccable. Of course, sometimes a little stitching error is made, but given the ease of use I can hardly complain. Twilight mode is another thing users want to experiment May s. In this mode, the camera takes six shots and compares them to create the final image. It works, because in this mode in low light pictures are much sharper and less noise. HDR is the last way I talk about in this review.

Here, the camera tries to make a photo with a lot against the light. Imagine a tree with the sun behind him shining in your camera. In a normal situation, the tree will be black with large yellow spots behind it, is not it? Well, in the HDR mode the camera tries to photograph the tree without losing the detail of the tree. So, instead of the black tree, you can get a brown tree with some nice texture to it. Surprisingly, this mode is outstanding. I say surprising because these types of images can only be managed me $ 1500 + SLR cameras in the past, it was until today, because the Sony TX7 handles them with ease.

Conclusion

Sony has delivered a fantastic camera with the release Cybershot TX7. This is a very compact device that you can take with you everywhere. It looks great from every angle, and most people seem to agree, because this camera is a real head Turner.Zaslon touch is very sensitive (almost like the iPhone, but not quite) and different modes and options are easy to to find. Thus, the camera is very easy to use. The picture quality is good, but not SLR sviđa.Slika can be soft, but slightly TX7 not a great job keeping the noise away, and what really good photos in a very short time. Video recording of this cam is great. This is the best I've ever seen, and I still can not believe everything that comes from such a small device.

So, I recommend the Sony Cybershot TX7 for people who want good-looking small compact digital camera that is really good pictures. You will not be disappointed, just do not expect SLR quality.
