First Look: Sony's rugged ultracompact camera

2012-05-04
hey I'm Josh Goldman senior editor with CNET and this is a look at the sony cybershot DSC TX 20 and this may look like a typical ultra compact camera in fact here it is next to its line mate the TX 66 and you can see they're essentially the same size and shape but thanks to the TX 20s airtight construction it's waterproof to depth of 16 feet shockproof to about 5 feet and dustproof the thing is since it's so small the camera can be tough to hold with wet or cold hands and although I like that it has a slide down and cover protecting the lens it can easily get sand trapped behind it and potentially scratch up the body if you're not careful also its lens is in particularly sharp especially off to the sides and photos in general looks soft except at small sizes otherwise it's a good camera with lots of features to play with both on land and in water so if you're looking for a camera you can take anywhere it's a decent choice I'm Josh Goldman and that's the sony cybershot TX 20
