• Sony DSC-TX7: Beware of the short Battery Life, February 19, 2010

By Angel_Pen “angel_rising”

This camera will get plenty of rave reviews and I agree with most of them. However, based on Sony’s own specs for this camera (available at Sony’s website) the battery life is likely less than one hour when in video mode.

Your old Sony batteries won’t work with this new model. Since each new Sony battery will cost $50, you will need to spend at least another $100 in spare batteries just to go on a long trip or videotape a wedding longer than 3 hours. Even then you can not re-charge them all at the same time at the hotel, so you need to spend even more money on extra battery chargers.

Short battery life is also a problem for scuba divers since you will run out of power shortly after your start your dive.

I personally do not want to spend $400 plus $200 in accesories for a total of $600 on just one still camera, there are plenty other products with better battery life available on Amazon which offer even better quality.

• Good performance for small size, January 29, 2010

By Gadget Joe (Sammamish)

Sony recently introduced this camera at CES and it is an upgrade on the TX1 model from last year.

I ordered the silver one – it is much darker than the pictures show, so expect it to be a gun metal gray color. Size wise its about an inch shorter than an iPhone, about the same width. Fits nicely in one’s pocket. The touch screen is slightly larger than an iPhone’s screen. Quality of the build is about the same as a low end Cannon, but not as good as you would expect in a Cannon G10 or G11 (which I love). The finish on the plug-in battery charger is poor – you can tell it is “Made in China” than “Made in Japan”. The camera itself is made in Japan and the finsih is good, maybe a little flimsy (e.g. battery compartment door)- I wonder what it would look like after a few years of handling especially on vacations. Some of this may be due to its diminutive size.

Overall it takes good pictures and I was attracted by a few features which are not typically available on other camers: (1) Hand held twilight mode which makes for great low light pictures (2)AVCHD Video mode (which plays quite well with Windows Media Player) and (3) Panorama mode which stiches pictures together.Most people don’t realize that this camera uses the widely available (and inexpensive) SD cards rather than Sony’s proprietary cards. The screen is beautiful, but the menu system takes some getting used to, especially if you have been using Nikon or Cannon cameras.

A few of the issues with this camera:
(1) The slider which comes down to take pictures is slippery and lacks grip – Sony should have created a ridge to assist in the sliding motion
(2) It’s very easy to get your finger in the picture – so if you are accustomed to holding your camera with both hands, watch out for your finger in pictures (lens placement is not optimal)
(3) The manual which comes with the camera is useless – you have to download the manual from the accompanying CD – even that is not the best – wish they could have made it more user friendly
(4) Battery life could be improved

Overall, I would recommend this camera – the price is about fifty dollars higher than its value, but it does have quite a few bells and whistles
