Although it is very expensive for a pocket snapshot camera, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 does offer a lot of camera for the money, with excellent build quality, surprisingly good handling and a range of useful high-tech features. Image quality is as good as any of its competitors, so if you can afford it you won't be disappointed. Read full review

This is more like it.

Rather than falling for the 'more megapixels at the cost of quality' game, Sony have decided to up the style and desireability stakes.

There might be better 'compact' cameras out there but none as desireable.

Yes, a camera is ultimately about picture quality, but I would bet that Sony, despite being stylish, is not too shabby at taking pictures.

Now, if only Sony lost their memory stick and sported an SD slot ....!!!!

Great review Cliff, as usual. It'll be interesting to see how this camera compares to the new TX7, with its Full HD recording, higher resolution screen etc.

£209 from here. http://www.camerabox.co.uk/product1.asp?ProductName=Sony-DSC-TX1-Black&ProductID=9470 Value should really be bumped up I think. I understand that your going by the RRP however, it's been a while since this camera came out and the price your reviewing it by is no longer relevant.

@Prem

I think the DSC-TX7 will take both SDHC and MemoryStick

The TX7 (and I think other forthcoming Sony cameras) support SD cards as well as Memory Sticks.

Why has it taken 6 months to review this model? Come on guys hurry up, I've just ordered this camera based on your review, only to discover the TX7 has just been released!

Not happy!

Huh when I read the article subheader ("breathtakingly expensive") I was expecting something more expensive than that. I guess compact prices have gone down since I bought my Panasonic LX01 a couple of years ago. Having a super-slim compact is nice because it means you'll bring it along more often. OTOH I already have a camera in my phone, obviously with a performance that's not remotely comparable, but still. IQ at ISO 800 and particularly at 400 isn't that great, IMHO, although the noise is fairly pleasant.

g00n3r - Many apologies for the delay. I've been after this camera since the day it was launched, along with the WX1 and HX1, but unfortuntely Sony's PR company were a bit slow in making press review samples available. If it's any consolation it's still a very nice camera six months after launch.

joose - It pays to do a bit of research into the reliability of online retailers, especially ones that seem to have unusually low prices.

As an owner, and probably sony addict... I must say that the TX1 is really quite fantastic and I have no problems with the touch screen/ menus. Oh and the Panorama mode is quite absolutely a great idea and has been put to excellent use!
