The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX9 is a compact digital cameras that offers great image quality and is easy for novice photographers to use.

Modes for low-light, panorama, 3D shooting; Accepts both SD/SDHC and Memory Stick; Very slim, with good build quality; Customizable icon menus in all shooting modes * Wireless photo and video transfer via TransferJet

Pricey for a camera with no manual controls; Images look a bit soft when you don't use a tripod

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX9 digital camera takes great photographs, but has a few design flaws.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX9

Another high-specced, fashionable Sony compact

Not everyone will want to pay such a high price for a compact camera; however, you cannot fault its easy-to-use menu system and high image quality results

Sony DSC TX9

There is a lot to like about the Sony Cybershot DSC TX9. It has an impressive array of features including a touch controlled LCD screen. Innovations include a 3D panoramic shot. The good news is that picture quality matches up to the features on offer...

Innovative features - movie mode - shutter response without flash - large screen - accurate touch control

Shutter response with flash

In addition to the obvious touch control attraction the Sony Cybershot DSC TX9 has a lot going for it. The large LCD screen is a big help when it comes to a touch screen interface and I feel Sony have steadily improved usability in this area with their...

The sleek, stylish, touchscreen-controlled TX9 offers very good overall performance and fun-to-use modes, but images tend to look soft.

Sony Cyber-shot TX9 review: Sony Cyber-shot TX9

Sony Cyber-shot TX9

Speedy shooting performance; slim, stylish design; plenty of fun, useful features; very good low-light photo quality for its class.

Soft photos, videos; poor battery life; 3D photos are of limited use.

As long as image softness doesn't bother you, the fast-shooting Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX9 is a quite capable camera for taking photos under a variety of conditions without much effort from the user.
