The editors didn't like
Slightly awkward lens cover operation
Corner softness at wide-angle
Softness/flare at full telephoto
Small
Weak flash (not uncommon in subcompacts)
Lack of fine details due to noise suppression even at lowest ISO of 125
Reasonably good performance in dim light, captures Full HD video, great panorama mode
Noticeable lens distortion, chromatic aberration, can be awkward to hold, noticeable colour bleeding
If you're after a small digital camera that can also shoot Full HD video, then the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 is a worthy choice. It can capture vibrant colours and a deep black, but it does suffer from chromatic aberration, lens distortion and colour bleedi...
Attractive, ultraflat design, Great handling of electronic noise in higher ISO sensitiviteis, Attractive touchscreen with easytolearn interface, Burst mode at 10 fps (for 10 photos), panorama mode and HDR, 1080i video
Screen easy to get dirty and hard to use in bright sunlight; zoom wheel is pathetic, Autofocus system could be a lot more responsive, Photos sometimes look a little pale in bright light and lack detail, Proprietrary HDMI/USB connection, Slow lens
The TX7 is a great success that combines an attractive design, a quality, wide touchscreen, a responsive interface and a decent general purpose zoom, even if it is a little short. Sony can boast both a high-end video mode and decent quality photos. ...
Easy to use; fast and responsive touchscreen; slender proportions; solid construction; attractive styling
Battery life could be better; screen quickly gets smeared with fingerprints; easy for fingertips to wander into shots
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 is capable of capturing colourful, detailed images. This compact camera's touchscreen controls are also clearly labelled and easily navigated, but we're not sure it's the best option in its price range....

It's not much cheaper than an entry-level DSLR, but if you prefer a touchscreen compact that is brimming with features, then this is worth a good look. And if you're not too fussed about the colour, you can find this Cyber-shot at quite a discount, if you...
The design presents some comfort issues, but its ultra-slim body is packed with many great features. We would like to see manual handling for the price tag, though ...
Design and build, image quality, large screen, 1080i HD video, wide zoom lens
Fiddly sliding front cover, images soft at edges, distortion at wide end of zoom, fiddly touch screen controls which very much need supplied stylus
Sleek and small, the Sony Cyber-shot TX7 has a nice active display and good build. The slide down front cover is a bit fiddly and the on-screen controls are small, requiring use of the supplied stylus, which could easily get lost. However, image qualit...
Despite some comfort issues with its design, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 is a capable of capturing vibrant colours and deep blacks, and its high ISO performance is not too bad either. It will suit travellers who want a hybrid camera with which to take...
