Sony unveils super-slim, waterproof Cyber-shot at PMA

Whether skiing, swimming, hiking – or just partying hard – the toughest ever Cyber-shot keeps pace with the action. Waterproof down to 3m (able to keep Cyber-shot submerged continuously in water 3.0m deep for 60 minutes. Based on Sony testing standards.), the TX5 lets user keep shooting in the pool or while he is snorkelling.

CMOS Sensor ensures detail-packed pictures, with superlative low-noise imaging performance in low light. It’s a perfect complement for the superb Carl Zeiss lens with 4x optical zoom and 25mm wide angle for perfectly framed shots – from intimate portraits to dramatic travel scenes.

The TX5 automatically stitches together a burst of high resolution frames to create a single extra wide image. Perfect for landscapes or big family gatherings, this feature now offers improved processing for seamless panoramas, even when people are moving in the frame.

Like all models in the 2010 Cyber-shot line-up, the TX5 and H55 gives the freedom to select Memory Stick PRO Duo, Memory Stick PRO-HG, SD or SDHC memory cards to suit personal preference. Both new cameras are also compatible with a wide range of official Cyber-shot accessories by Sony.

The new Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 and DSC-H55 compact digital still cameras are available from end March 2010.
