Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 Review

Introduction :-

Sony today announced two new Cyber-shot (the Sony DSC-TX1 and the DSC-WX1 models) which, because of their “Exmor R” back illuminated CMOS sensor technology, which was to provide approximately twice the sensitivity of the cameras with image sensors traditional. This should theoretically improve performance in low light, and lead to sharper images with less noise. “Conventional architecture of the image sensor has demanded son and other circuit elements to be positioned above the photo-light-sensitive diodes, which limits the ability to collect light from the imager. These elements positioning behind the photo-diodes, image sensors Exmor R ‘Sony’ can collect more light, resulting in approximately twice the sensitivity compared to conventional detectors, “says Sony. In addition, Sony WX1 and TX1 can capture six images separated in less than a second and combine the shots into a single image of the “special detail” and “low noise”. The panoramic scanning technology, first seen in the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 is also on board, and the TX1 and WX1 new models also feature a burst rate of 10 frames per second. The TX1 is a Sony ultra-compact 10 megapixel camera with 4x zoom and a touchscreen, while the Sony WX1 (pictured above) is also a 10-megapixel model, but it comes with an intriguing equivalent 24 -120mm f / 2.4-5.9 Sony G.

Design :-

While the device HX1 is a well rounded solution for customers seeking high-speed zoom and a smaller than a SLR digital cameras TX1 and WX1 are made to an audience that wants cutting-edge technology in design more compact.

With its slim profile of only 16.5mm, the 10.2 mega-pixel TX1 offers curved, streamlined distinguished for a sophisticated look using the method that focuses on research also great performances. This model features a new operation on the touch screen that lets you scroll through the images with an effort “Flick” of your finger and direct access menus on the 3-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus ™ Display.

With Carl Zeiss ® Vario-Tessar ®, the TX1 camera lets you focus as little as 0.4 cm from your subject for close up special shots. The telescoping 4x zoom is ideal for capturing distant subjects, and Sony optical image stabilization SteadyShot ™ helps to overcome camera shake.

The 10.2 mega-pixel camera WX1 has a 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus display is a little over three quarters of an inch thin ideal choice for digital SLR owners who also wish to carry a compact, high performance digital camera.

WX1 The camera features a Sony G lens with a wide angle 24-120mm special optical zoom 5x. This lens’ maximum aperture of f/2.4 provides nearly twice the capacity of collecting the light of conventional lenses, and working with “Exmor R” modes imager and low-light shooting to provide photography in low light beyond the capabilities of other compact cameras.
