"Excellent Digital SLR"
What I like:
Photo quality, built in functions, robust, VERY fast. Battery life.
What I don't like:
Big and bulky - but hey its not a pocket camera!
Review:
I had to post this cos I can't see why the editor rated the battery life as average. I would say the battery life is excellent. I can take in excess of 1000 shots (miced with some flash) without it going flat. I bought myself a spare battery and hardly ever use it. I only charge it up once a month.
This is a very good camera. Its incredibly responsive - immediate power on to shoot. No delays. The AF is pretty quick - although it does depend on the lens you use. I don't find the veiw finder a problem either. My only gripe is its easy to take blurry shots but then again it depends on the light, the lens and how steady you are. I would definately recommend this camera - especially at the price it is now.

Stylish, practical and pleasing to use. Its pictures aren't bad either, so it's a good buy at this price

Good camera made great by its excellent touchscreen interface and wireless technology
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1
As a showcase for Sony technology, it's brilliant, but it's far from perfect in everyday use
