The SONY TSC-TX10 makes especially as a small second camera a good figure. Albeit slightly thicker, so it is smaller overall than many smartphone. It fits in your pocket, should there not also be transported together with keys or coins. The operation is so simple and effective that you if this simplicity is almost a little disappointed. Anyone who has never held a book on photography in his hand, is well served and receives photographs that would manually succeed not so good. The Panorama function is almost foolproof. She was, however, can also be quickly bored. On places where you do not want to use a high-quality camera equipment, the TX10 its strengths. These images can be realized in low light without a tripod. The lens is very useful dimensioned with 25 '100 mm KB and also sufficiently wide angle. The black camera is not overly conspicuous. Ice and snow it can not hurt. On the beach, the camera fits in the swimsuit pocket and can remain (with restrictions) there also. It must be remembered that the camera is not made specifically for the beach. So may, for example, in places where sand is swirled, the lens cover can not be opened. After use in salt water, the camera must be quickly cleaned in fresh water. The seals are newly constructed smart, but take every hair, speck of dust or salt crystal evil. There is also only one seal level. Therefore, care is needed. Unfortunately, the easy to read display is not only much smaller than a smartphone display, it is also much smaller than indicated by the back of the camera. 20% of the display area will also be used generally for pictograms. Because the very convincing basic concept just yet is full of limitations and compromises, the camera is not enough as many single device. Of the 16.2 megapixels is not much to feel. The images are too strong sharpened simultaneously mills the noise reduction even at very low light conditions contours to the limit of what is tolerable way. In extreme cases, parts of plants seem artificial and faces waxy. The classic photo formats and in photo books falling on little, on images in poster size but you should rather hope not. With the risk of smudging almost forcibly when opening the lens cover, the lens, you can also arrange with a little practice. The lens does a lot. Nevertheless, who look at a picture long, feels a little drunkenly. Total photos emerge mediocre quality, which are noticeably located below the quality that can reach compact cameras for several years. For many situations, it is the ideal camera. In other situations it is the compromise does not go, arising from the very compact and robust in construction limits. So it is not really disturbing that with stand the memory card slot is blocked.
Overall, the TX10 is a camera that takes one with addition to your holiday. Really good photos are by the 16.2 megapixel discouraged rather than facilitated. For this you can use the device with appropriate care to all those places with acceptable success, never reaches the high-quality photographic equipment.
