so today we're gonna be doing a quick unboxing first look and practical test of the sony cybershot DSC tx5 camera so first of all let's do the boring specs first of all second of all it is waterproof that's not boring but it is a speck next it is what 10.2 megapixels it has a 4x optical zoom and a 25 millimeter wide angle lens which is 35 millimeter format okay it comes with one battery pack but you can also get an optional one and it records well that's a very strange way to advertise that well it records still images in Full 1080p HD but it does way more than that obviously because it's 10.2 megapixels but it actually records video in 720p so here on the back there's a bunch of other stuff let's just get this open pretty much I just want to get to the part where we actually put it underwater so we find first of all our one-year warranty card then we have a notes on waterproofing ok this might actually be worth having a look at damage caused from misuse is not covered closing the corners properly closing all the air out of the corners the covers properly cleaning it after the camera is under in near water okay so these are all important steps to make sure that the camera stays waterproof then we've got a driver disc then we have a registration offer we've got a note son using the camera underwater personal some kind of accessories brochure then we have a user's manual which is in English and French for Canada okay then we find the actual camera itself so we got a charger we got our battery battery goes on the charger just a little something like that then we have a boy what is this I have no idea what this is so yeah then we've got a couple included cables I hope no one is closing that door behind us because then we're gonna be stuck out here I've got one USB data cable as well as a composite video out cable so that plugs into the camera and then we have the camera itself so you can see you've got your basic specs here it is waterproof up to ten feet it is shockproof from five feet although we're not going to be doing that particular test it is dustproof I mean you can assume anything that keeps water out is also going to keep out dust and then it is also freeze proof so it can be operated down to negative ten degrees Celsius or 14 degrees Fahrenheit it has intelligence sweep panorama as well as outstanding low-light performance okay there's your 4x optical zoom has a carl zeiss lens and optical steadyshot so it has optical image stabilization that's pretty cool there's your flash and here let's see if we can figure out how to put okay so here we can open the bottom this way oh this is quite tricky to remove actually oh there we go okay so you got your your seals around here probably somewhere the battery goes in right here and I wish I had an SD card because now we're not going to be able to actually do the test on camera but what I can do is I can just turn it on okay turn it on hmm so far it's not turning on that seems like a bad sign doesn't it maybe I put the battery in wrong no I did not so we'll put the battery in again close it up yeah okay and then we're gonna turn it on yeah there we go that time it turned on excellent so let's see if it has any internal memory nope no it doesn't have internal memory oh it does have a touchscreen I should have mentioned that so it's got a nice big touchscreen which actually we're even out here in direct sunlight right now and I'm able to see it quite easily can you see it on the camera cameraman says no yes so I'm not really sure exactly what he's getting at there but yeah so we can go through the menu we can set whatever it is that we want to set we're I think we're in 720p fine recording quality right now so why don't we just do this there that was our test it's under water and it's still working lens is a little dirty so I'm gonna just kind of you know clean it like this it is still working can you can you see that through the I don't know if you're gonna be able to see that but can you see it from the top here come look from the top so we've got the camera in the water right now and it is still functioning so I can go ahead and press buttons and stuff like that it's still telling me the memory card is required but the touch screen is fully operational even underwater and I'm not having any difficulty using it so besides not knowing how to use this camera so hand-held twilight oh hey here's all your little movie our picture adjustments cool okay so you know what what I actually think we were trying to achieve here today we have achieved we have tested it underwater let's make sure it's all good okay cool so thank you for checking out my unboxing of the sony cybershot DSC tx5 waterproof camera
