The Sony Cyber-Shot TX55 Digital Camera (Black) Capture mesmerizing moments to share with the people back home even if you're just down the street. Since the TX55 is so small as slim as a AA battery it's more likely you'll have it on you when the perfect opportunity presents itself to create beautifully frameable images.

Get exquisite shots even in low light situations thanks to the back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor. Reviewing your shots and selecting focus just got even easier since the beautiful 3.3" OLED display makes a real difference when compared to most LCDs.

Features:

16.2 Megapixel Back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS Image Sensor: The DSC-TX55 features a 16.2 megapixel "Exmor R" CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera's Vario-Tessar lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution and stunning low-light sensitivity

3.3" (1,229K dots) OLED touch screen with wide viewing angle: 3.3" (1,229K dots) OLED touch screen with wide viewing angle delivers brilliant-quality still images and movies while enabling easy focusing operation

Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR mode: With Intelligent Sweep Panorama, It automatically links together each frame to produce a high resolution panoramic image providing the ability to print very large as well as to zoom in on small details for a larger view of the object

Picture Effect for more expressive photos: Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Seven effects give free reign to your imagination to expand creative horizons

Soft Skin mode: Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot

Backlight HDR: Don't miss a single detail in high contrast shots. The built in backlight correction analyzes the image and automatically adjusts accordingly to give you a perfectly lit shot

Face Detection technology: Sony's Face Detection technology can automatically distinguish between children and adults. Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and adjusts flash, focus, exposure and white balance to help deliver crisp, properly lit images of family and friends

Sweep Multi Angle mode: In Sweep Multi Angle mode, the camera takes 15 images at different angles as it sweeps across the scene. By tilting the camera during playback, the camera's Gyro Sensor detects motion and displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera's LCD

Includes Sony PMB Portable software: With the pre-installed Picture Motion Browser (PMB) Portable 5.6 software the DSC-TX55 makes it easy to pre-select videos and images in the camera and conveniently upload them from the camera to a compatible PC and popular Internet sharing sites

Slim and stylish design: As thin as an AA battery at just under ½ inch, this stylish camera is the perfect size to take along almost everywhere. Slip it into a pocket, purse, or backpack and be ready to shoot memorable moments

Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode: Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode for blur-free movies even while walking. Camera-shake compensation using Optical SteadyShot/Active Mode has been improved with the addition of new electronic image stabilization

Background Defocus: DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis on your subject. Now the point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit

Clear image digital zoom: Clear image digital zoom maintains a high-resolution feel that is as precise as optical zoom and vastly expands the zoom range without lowering visible quality or pixel count in the final image

Natural Flash: Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike images

HDMI output: The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is a compact audio/video connector interface for transmitting uncompressed digital streams

Motion Detection: Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces

Compatible with PC and MAC Systems: The Full HD video captured with the DSC-TX55 can be used with the provided Picture Motion Browser software for PC and iMovie (sold separately) for Mac systems

Full HD 1080/60i: Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080. This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV

3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama mode: Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama capabilities.4 Images will take on a new dimension to view the world in a whole new way

Superior Auto mode: Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. Superior Auto intelligently detects 36 scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot

High speed shooting: The DSC-TX55 can capture full 16.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal

Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens with 25mm equivalent wide angle 5x Optical Zoom: The high-performance Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 5x optical zoom lens brings distant subjects closer for video recording as well as for outdoor and travel photos and Close Focus shoots close-ups within a 1/2" of subject

Smile Shutter technology: Smile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the rest. Also select adult and child priority and indicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity

Anti-blink Function: It's frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting or blinking

Includes Sony PMB (Picture Motion Browser) Software ver. 5.6: Sony Picture Motion Browser software offers a simple, intuitive way to transfer, sort and view your video and still images on your compatible PC
