Sony's colourful, super-slim TX5 is the first waterproof Cyber-shot

Featuring Intelligent Sweep Panorama for smooth panoramic images even with moving subjects ,10.2 effective megapixels Exmor R™ CMOS Sensor for fantastic images even in low light , 4x optical zoom with 25mm wide angle and 720p HD movie shooting 7.5cm (3”) wide Clear Photo LCD touchscreen Sony Cyber-shot is all about catching life’s amazing moments, whatever you’re doing.

It’s never been more true than with the water, dust, shock and freeze-proof new Cyber-shot™ TX5: Sony’s first ever camera with high-fashion looks that handles just about anything your active lifestyle can throw at it.

At just 17.7mm slim, the TX5 is the world’s thinnest and smallest* waterproof digital still camera. You’ve never seen another weatherproof camera like it: available in five stunning colours (black, silver, pink, green, red), the TX5 is equally at home on smart nights out or on chilly mud-splattered cycle treks.

Whether you’re skiing, swimming, hiking – or just partying hard – the toughest ever Cyber-shot™ keeps pace with the action. Waterproof down to 3m**, the TX5 lets you keep shooting in the pool or while you’re snorkelling. You can even adjust settings on the intuitive 7.5cm (3”) LCD touchscreen while you’re underwater or wearing gloves.

This tough performer also shrugs off dust, and can keep shooting after being dropped from a height of 1.5m***. The TX5 can even deal with freezing conditions down to -10?C, making Sony’s newest Cyber-shot™ an ideal companion for skiing trips or gruelling adventure weekends.

Assuring detailed, low-noise images, the 14.1 effective megapixel sensor is teamed with a high performance G Lens. Unique to Sony, this premium lens offers a powerful 10x optical zoom range to handle virtually any shooting situation – from wide angle landscapes and group shots to dramatic close-ups.

Other features include Sweep Panorama, 720p HD movie recording, Face Detection/Smile Shutter and Intelligent Auto mode for fuss-free shooting in any situation.

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