hey there i'm josh goldman senior editor with CNET and this this is a really small camera it's sony's new cybershot DSC TX 66 which is pretty much the same as 2011 STX 55 but with a few changes to keep things interesting the carry over stuff includes a brilliant 3.3 inch OLED touchscreen and a 5 X 26 to 130 millimeter zoom lens all in an ultra compact body that is no thicker than a double-a battery the new tech includes an 18 megapixel BSI CMOS sensor an improved autofocus system for faster shooting indoors and out and enhanced low-light shooting capabilities the TX 66 will also capture AVC HD video at 1080 60 i and you can simultaneously capture 13 megapixel photos beyond those things you get a lot of automatic shooting modes including Sony's sweet panorama and background defocus options as well as 9 picture effects what's nicer is Sony's added some extra control over brightness color and vividness that can be used even in its intelligent auto mode so if you don't like the cameras color processing you can tweak it for your tastes so if you're looking for something better than your smartphone without getting weighed down this will probably be the one to check out I'll let you know for sure though if it's worth it's 350 dollar price tag when we get done with all of our testing I'm Josh Goldman and that's a look at the sony cybershot DX 66 you
