 Nice Features, Photo Appears Washed-Out July 31, 2010
S. Mansfield (Inverness, FL USA)
Like the panorama feature and low-light quality, but kind of disappointed with the background of some photos appearing washed-out. other than that nice camera!

The only drawback to this camera is that one cannot see the screen and its options in bright sunshine.
 Amazing photos, great video, fun to use July 1, 2010

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.
I like it more every time I use it! June 30, 2010

I was really hoping this camera lived up to it's reviews. It did, and more. I knew the battery wouldn't be the most robust, I can live with that. The features on this little gem is what really impresses me every time I use it. I'm not sure which is my favorite aspect of the TX7.
You've probably already read about the excellent low light capabilities, I can also attest to this. It does a great job in these situations.
The video quality is just incredible. And I'm not just speaking in comparison to other ultra compact point & shoot cameras. The video quality is just as good as a very expensive HD camcorder. It lacks many of the manual video settings, but you can still zoom while recording. [MP4 @ 12Mbps/1080p, 6Mbps/720p or 3Mbps/VGA] [AVCHD 1080i @ 17Mbps/60i or 9Mbps/30i]
I connected the TX7 to our big 1080p LCD via HDMI, and both the still images & video were stunning. The slide show with built-in music is a great feature when connected to the TV also.
I-Sweep Panorama works really well, in all directions (up & down also)
Intelligent Auto mode can tell which scene to use. It goes into macro when it's supposed to, even a tripod mode when it senses no movement, which I would guess slows down the shutter speed.
Smile Shutter is awesome for kid pictures. It works really well, you can set the sensitivity from a grin > medium smile > big cheesy smile! Then it takes the pictures for you.
You can customize shortcut buttons for each mode that you use. In other words, you put the shortcut icons you want for each mode, on that main screen. No hunting in a second menu for the most frequently used settings, even in playback mode! This is a spectacular feature in my opinion.
There are many other cool features that I can't think of right now, but this TX7 is well worth the money in my opinion.

Took this camera on vacation recently. It takes nice pictures and very impressive low light pictures. The touch screen is difficult to keep clean and you must watch to keep your fingers out of the pictures due to the location of the lens. Small cameras are getting too small and hard to hold. Great for portability. It's much simpler to use than previous Sony portables. The touch screen menus are very easy to navigate. It's not perfect but is an excellent choice if you want portability, ease of use, and a camera that fits in a pocket. The panoramic shots are also very impressive.
