Sony TX5 review – the sexiest water proof camera around!

The Sony DSC-TX5 looks to me just like another those in the Cyber-shot ‘T’ series. PRETTY!

It’s built very slim at 17.7mm in depth, in the size of a credit card sized, glossy and sports a slide open and shoot lens cover mechanism that powers up the camera at the same time, thus ensuring that taking a picture is really, really easy and fast. If you are taking pics of a toddler like Miki, you know why I really appreciate this feature.

The best thing about this TX5camera model is the fact that it is Sony’s first ever waterproof model, it is capable of withstanding a dunking to a depth of 10ft, it is dust proof, shock proof (against drops from 1.5 metres) and freeze proof (to minus 10°C) too. I don’t think I ever need to worry about the low temperature but the other toughness features I really love! Even though TX5 has all those capabilities, it is still slim and sexy! It is also very light and I can put it in my jeans pocket. Please bear in mind I wear super skinny jeans only! haha

They are made available in several colors including black, silver, green, red and the day-glo pink. Very lovely!

The TX5’s lens starts out at  25mm, which is quite wide I’d say and runs to 100mm at the telephoto end, that means it is great for shooting from landscapes to group portraits. It also has an impressive-in-action Sweep Panorama function.I like this function a lot, great especially if I wanna take a nice picture for my blog header.

It has this feature called continuous or burst shooting that can  be selected  from ‘Hi’, Mid, or ‘Lo’ speed options. Which means it can capture images continuously like a machine gun.

As you all know, I have been taking underwater pictures for the past several years and all this while I have been using another camera brand. But now I think we need to move on TX5, because in comparison to my old camera. TX5’s LCD screen is sooo much clearer!! Even when you look at it underwater!With our old camera, sometime we simple shoot the pic without knowing what exactly we are capturing because the LCD is so poor! Resulting some of my pics senget-senget and tak cantik!

So for those going on your next snorkeling trip, you just gotta have a TX5!

Check out my crazy pic taken with TX5 at Sunway Lagoon. Takke lawak giler muka ala-ala ikan buntal gitu?? Hahaha That’s me and blogger friend Dilla Arif!

The picture was taken during My Water Moments with Sony TX5 event held last Saturday at Mali Cove, Sunway Lagoon. I had such a great time. Sony has organized games for about a hundred of us and I join group E4 with other Advertlets bloggers. Guess what?! We won second place! Awesome right?

5 of us won a Sony Bloggie HD each! Best gilerrrr!! It worth RM899 ok! And can take a 360 panoramic picture!

Jealous la! Silalah jealous!
