Which one is the best digital camera

Sony’s new Cybershot DSC-TX100V is a stunning camera and I don’t believe there’s anything to touch it in the high-end compact class.


The camera starts with a Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens which gives high speed, high resolutions and excellent low light response.  Combined with the Exmor R CMOS 16.2 megapixel sensor, this gives brilliant clarity and much less graininess.  In combination with Sony’s excellent BIONZ image processor, the Exmor R sensor is able to process image stability, an excellent Twilight mode and high quality video.  Full 16.2 megapixel resolution pictures can be captured at up to ten frames per second to ensure catching the crucial shot in a fast action sequence.  The mechanical shutter system ensures that distortion is minimised with continuous capture.
This brilliant little compact also has a huge 3.5 inch Organic LED touch screen which is vivid and clear even in any lighting conditions which takes the guesswork out of photography by ensuring that you always see exactly what the camera is capturing.  This is particularly useful for manual focusing, although with the brilliant autofocus, which works down to one centimetre distance in wide angle mode or fifty centimetres in telephoto, you’re hardly ever going to need that.  The touch screen allows easy autofocus point selection.  The nine-spot autofocus system includes face detection which can identify up to eight individual faces and distinguish between adults and children.  This also drives smile shutter and blink detection features.
The DSC-TX100V has brilliant video capability, capturing 1080p HD video at up to 60 frames per second.  This is the first compact digital which can shoot full HD to produce video which can be played back virtually distortion-free on a high definition television.
Sony has greatly improved on its Sweep Panorama function.  This camera can capture a series of photographs then composite them automatically when the lens is swept across the scene.  This produces panoramas up to an angle of 238 degrees.  It also has a single-lens 3D system which
The excellent flash has red-eye reduction and a range of up to 5.1 metres.  Other features include an adjustable delay time and a backlight correction system to control lighting contrast problems and a manual override for the nine-setting white balance system.
The new Sony Cybershot DSC-TX100V is sturdily built and rugged without sacrificing its cosmetic good looks.  This camera is smaller than a cigarette case, light enough to carry comfortably in a shirt pocket and comes in a range of stylish colours, but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s a trendy compact more for display than displaying.  The sleek good looks hide a thoroughly powerful camera which takes excellent photographs, is easy to operate, while providing adequate manual control when needed, and breaks considerable new ground in its high speed, high definition video capability.
