Always on the lookout for a new pocket camera, I'm intrigued with the new Sony DSC-TX7. The TX7 has a couple of features not seen in many other pocket cameras:
10 mp CMOS sensor, like the DSLRs use
Zeiss glass lens, entirely internal to the camera
relatively wide lens, 25mm to 100 mm equivalent
high dynamic range mode that compensates for strong backlighting
Twilight mode takes several shots at different exposure speeds, then combines them to increase dynamic range
Sweep Panorama mode lets you hold down the shutter and move the camera to capture a wide scene in a single motion. The TX7 then selects stills captured during the sweep, and assembles a finished panorama from the stills.
extra large 3.5 inch touchscreen LCD, very sharp 921K pixels. Most camera controls are displayed on the touch screen, rather than as physical switches, buttons and dials on the camera.
burst mode captures 10 frames in one second
1920x1080 HD video (choose AVCHD or MP4 format)
HDMI output for video or photos via the included docking station
diminutive size: 3 7/8" x 2" x 3/8" 5.3 oz with battery
choice of Memory Stick or SDHC flash card
The TX7 was just released, so prices are high. I saw it on Amazon for $386. Read more about the Sony DSC-TX7 on Sony's web site here
