Sony Fits Transfer Jet, 1080/60i HD Video Recording Into Ultra-Slim DSC-TX7 Point & Shoot

The ultra-slim point and shoot camera category has evolved significantly as Sony announced during CES 2010 that they are bringing the new silver, blue and red DSC-TX7 to the market in February. This stylish $400 ultra slim camera features a 10MP “Exmor R” CMOS sensor, a large 3.5” touchscreen (921K) LCD and 4x optical zoom with wide angle 25mm lens. The added Optical Steady Shot image stabilization system prevents blur from camera shaking.

A new attractive feature this year being integrated into this Cyber-shot camera include the ability to record HD video (AVCHD) 1920 x 1080 at 60i and HDMI output capabilities. This makes it very easy to record and share HD video with your friends and family. Sony has also integrated Transfer Jet wireless technology into the camera, which allows you to send (at 560mbps) pictures and movies from your Cyber-shot camera to your Transfer Jet receiver, such as a computer. This allows for people to not worry about taking out the memory card or looking for the USB cord when they want to get the pictures off their camera.

Other thoughtful prerequisites found in the TX7 and other Sony cameras include iAuto, which detects up to eight scenes and optimizes camera settings, and Smile Shutter. It will also be compatible with the Party-shot (model IPT-DS1) automatic photographer.
