The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX55 digital camera is based around a 16.2 effective megapixel, backside-illuminated Sony Exmor R CMOS image sensor, coupled to a Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar-branded, prism-folded 5x optical zoom lens.

This is a camera with a ultra low price tag. It is really really cheap, as compared to other cameras. As my first compact digital camera I love how it works. The pictures are very good though the zoom is quite less. But it is okay considering the cost.

I've been more-or-less happy with my Sony T-100 since march 2007, but was wooed by the promises of every latest advance in Digital Camera technology with the TX55. The size was right, the weight an incredible 3 oz less than my already miniscule T-100.

The Sony tx55 is a very sleek camera with good picture quality and superior 1080p HD recording.

1)very thin 2) Touchscreen is definitely a luxury 3) Very good HD 1080p recording

- Has no grip - No external microphone slot - Zooming could be better

it works, it's slim, it's Intuitive for a newbie like me. It does have too many features to configurate but it takes really clear and beautiful pictures. It's also very light weight and solid. Video taking was awesome since i'm a clumsy person and needed the anti shake feature.

Excellent camera, acceptable price. High-quality assembly. Convenient size. Compact camera. Bright, wide screen. The image pure, sated with paints.

The Sony Cybershot DSC TX55 is an incredibly slim digital camera. It offers an appealing combination of style, size, picture quality and features. It is right up there with the best cameras in the pocket sized category.

Good Points: Picture quality; small size; touch control

Bad Points: Touch screen could be more responsive some of the time

handy pocket size, good quality snaps and very easy to use, seems like the new camera phones will take its place, my old one packed up as got sand in the zoom control switch

Compact cameras by themselves are really appealing, due to their ultra portable attributes. So, in a camera segment where there are virtually all the possible advancements in technology; what does a brand do to get a notch above the competition?

Bought this camera back in October. I've decided to get super compact camera that will easily fit in a pocket. Nice camera but not as good as advertised. Takes good pictures like any other Sony brand point-n-shoot camera but defenitly not DSLR-quality camera as claimed to be.

compact size; stylish look; some fresh technologies

touch screen issues; akward to hold and use; overpriced camera
