WorkhorseDescription
An ultracompact digital camera featuring a 10.2-megapixel "Exmor R" CMOS sensor and a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 4x optical zoom lens. This model is historically significant for introducing back-illuminated sensor technology to the consumer market, which doubled the light sensitivity compared to traditional sensors. The camera is defined by its slim, metal-body design with a vertical sliding front cover that serves as the power switch, protecting the folded-optics lens system when closed. It features a large 3-inch touch screen for navigation and supports high-speed burst shooting up to 10 frames per second. Equipped with "Optical SteadyShot" image stabilization and 720p HD movie recording, the TX1 was marketed toward fashion-conscious users who required high performance in a pocketable form factor. It utilizes Sony’s Memory Stick Duo and Pro Duo media. The TX1’s "Sweep Panorama" and "Handheld Twilight" modes were revolutionary at launch, utilizing the fast BIONZ processor to layer multiple images into a single clear shot.Category
