Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

very happy with this camera!

I did much research on finding the perfect camera (for me) and am very pleased with my choice. The TX7 is a great little camera that packs a lot of really cool and unique features. I like how tiny it is, but it can be a little difficult to hold. I was concerned I wouldn't like the touch screen, but it actually works very well and is easy to learn. The panoramic feature is great. But for me, what sold me on this camera is the excellent video quality. It is absolutely amazing, especially in low light! I am also an avid diver, and wanted a very small underwater package that didn't require a strobe or video light and still produced decent quality images and video. The Sony Marine Pack housing for this camera fit the bill perfectly and I am quite happy with the results - surprised actually. Much better than expected! Overall, I am very happy with this purchase and feel that the high price is more than justifiable compared to the other offerings at this time.
