Sony Cybershot DSC-TX30 Review

 

The Sony Cybershot DSC-TX30 is a tough camera which was announced in February 2013. It is waterproof, dustproof, freezeproof and shock proof. There is also a Magnifying Glass Plus mode for shooting tiny objects. The TX30 is available for £299.00.

Excellent, Decent image quality, Waterproof to 10m, Dust, freeze and shockproof, 10 fps continuous shooting, Stylish looking waterproof camera, Large, high-resolution responsive touchscreen

Water gets behind the sliding lens cover, Battery and memory card cover only has a single clip, Lots of red-eye in portrait shots when using flash, Noisy images from ISO 3200 upwards

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30

 

Where most rugged cameras seem like something you'd throw in the glove compartment of your 1-ton truck, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 has a thinner, more stylish appearance. It has an ultra-slim metal body that should be familiar to anyone who has seen...

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 is a nice departure from the chunky, industrial designs of its peers. It has an ultra-slim metal body, which you can easily slide into the smallest of pockets. Its touchscreen OLED display is one of the best in this class -...

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-TX30 Preview

 

Sony has announced the Cyber-Shot DSC-TX30. Boasting an ability to dive underwater down to 33ft, survive a drop of up to 5 feet, work in temperatures as low as 14 degrees F (-10 C), and be impervious to dust, the TX30 is -- as of February 2013 -- the...

Sony TX30 Review

 

The Sony TX30 perhaps takes the best pictures of any compact waterproof cameras in its class, but its ultra-compact design makes it hard to hang onto underwater, and its 3.3-inch high-resolution OLED touchscreen is virtually unusable and unviewable...

Good image and video quality for a compact waterproof camera; Stylish, pocketable design; Improved ruggedness; Speedy performance including 10 fps continuous shooting at full resolution

Touchscreen unusable and unviewable while submerged; Slim, slick design makes it unwieldy to hold (and difficult to hang onto!) underwater; Poor battery life

Since the camera is designed to capture on-the-go action, the Sony TX30 records video up to Full HD at 1080/60i, and also shoots 10 frames per second at full resolution in burst still mode. Intelligent Sweep Panorama mode allows for full 360-degree...

Sony DSC-TX30 Waterproof Camera

  (Rating Hidden)

Bought it at end of 2013 primarily with a view to using it for underwater filming on a holiday to Maldives in March, 2014. It performed faultlessly. We adhered to Sony's strict rules for use underwater, rinsing in fresh water after use in the sea....

I bought 3 (for me, for my wife and for a friend)

 

I had one similar camera for ~2 years. Than I bought 2 more. It is compact, durable, works well in the water and makes colorful/juicy pictures.

Great little camera

 

Always works and had better range than the phone. I never have to worry about the safety of the camera, and that is what I want.
