Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30: Digital Photography Review

Discuss in the Sony Cyber-shot Talk forum

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX30 is the world's slimmest digital compact camera that is waterproof to 10m, freeze- and shock-proof. It has an ultra-slim metal body, which you can easily slide into the smallest of pockets. Its touchscreen OLED display is one of the best in this class - at least indoors. The TX30 also has a host of useful features that work very well. Its main problems are mostly related to its display. It's very difficult to see outdoors, scratches easily, and the camera becomes nearly useless underwater, since the capacitive touchscreen does not function.

Sony Cybershot DSC-TX30 Review

Features Handling Performance Verdict Specification

The Sony Cybershot DSC-TX30 is a tough camera which was announced in February 2013. It is waterproof, dustproof, freezeproof and shock proof. There is also a Magnifying Glass Plus mode for shooting tiny objects. The TX30 is available for £299.00. The Sony Cybershot DSC-TX30 is a waterproof camera that is also dust, freeze and shockproof. It has an 18.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor and an internal 5x optical zoom lens, which is a 35mm equivalent of 26-130mm, it can be extended to 10x using Clear Image Zoom. To help keep your shots as sharp as possible there is Optical SteadyShot. When shooting there are two auto modes which adjust the camera settings automatically. Intelligent Auto recognises a wide number of scenes, whereas Superior Auto recognises when your subject is moving. There are a number of scene modes and artistic picture effects. These effects work on photos and videos to help expand your creativity.

There is a Magnifying Glass Plus mode for shooting tiny objects and an LED to brighten up close-ups. When using continuous shooting you can shoot at 10 fps. The TX30 shoots extra-wide panoramas and when shooting portraits the camera can remove skin blemishes, brighten teeth, widen eyes and cut forehead shine Videos are recorded in full 1080p HD with Optical SteadyShot Active mode to help keep your videos steady even when you are moving or zooming.

Many waterproof cameras don't look as stylish as the TX30, although designed to battle the elements, you get the feeling it could show the evidence of a few bumps and scrapes if it was to be dropped regularly. Many waterproof cameras have a dual locking system for the battery and memory card, the TX30 just has a single clip, so care needs to be taken to ensure it is snapped shut properly before underwater use. It has a metal body and a thin rubber grip down one side of the front of the camera to aid grip. The back of the camera is dominated by the 3.3 inch 1,229,760 dot OLED touchscreen. The touch screen is responsive and is used to do almost everything with the camera. The only buttons you'll find are placed on top of the camera, there is the shutter release, zoom rocker and on / off switch and movie record button. You can also switch the camera on and off by sliding the front cover up and down, we did find water took a while to dry out if it got behind the front cover. The menu system is easy to navigate. Battery life is rated at 250 shots according to CIPA test results. We took a number of shots to test the camera's responsiveness, from switch on to first photo, shot to shot, focusing speed etc. We take a number of shots and then use the average to ensure accurate and consistent tests, making it easy to compare with other cameras.

Additional sample photos and product shots are available in the Equipment Database, where you can add your own review, photos and product ratings.

Sample Photos - Images are well exposed with excellent colour reproduction. Portraits have good skin tones but there is spots of red-eye when using the flash. Underwater performance is good, with the Magnifying Glass Plus mode making it possible to take some stunning close-ups. The background defocus mode takes two pictures to create a DSLR style image taken with a large aperture.

Lens Performance - Image detail is OK at both ends of the lens, with a good control over purple fringing. Image quality does suffer when using the Clear Image Zoom, but for sharing on the web, it is fine. The lens has a minimum focusing distance of just 1cm, this allows for decent macro shots to be taken.

ISO Noise Performance - Images have low noise at ISO 80, 100, 200 and 400. A little detail is lost at ISO 800, causing images to become a little soft, which slightly worsens at ISO 1600. Image quality begins to reduce significantly at ISO 3200 with quality worsening rapidly at ISO 6400 and ISO 12800. These two highest settings are best avoided where possible.

White Balance Performance - Under the incandescent lights the auto white balance (AWB) performs well, with a slight colour cast when using the incandescent preset. Under the fluorescent lights the AWB again performs well, with all three fluorescent presets having a colour cast.

Panorama 1 | 1/500 sec | f/4.5 | 4.7 mm | ISO 80

Panorama 2 | 1/400 sec | f/4.5 | 4.7 mm | ISO 80

Panorama mode - Panorama images have a good amount of detail and are stitched together really well.

Digital Filters - The TX30 has a number of picture effects available to you take creative pictures. There are a number of examples above.

Video - Below is a video recorded in full 1080p HD. Quality is good, you can use the optical zoom during recording, an example of which can be seen on the ePHOTOzine Youtube page.

The Sony Cybershot DSC-TX30 is available for £299.00. Other waterproof cameras include the Pentax WG-3, available for £305, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT5, available for £295, the Nikon Coolpix AW110, available for £270 and the Canon Powershot D20, available for £260.

You'll also need to buy a memory card and a case or bag to keep your camera safe and protected - have a look at our complete guide to camera bags.

All the main camera manufacturers have produced waterproof cameras, but Sony's tend to stand out from the crowd as they look more like a normal camera, rather than some of the tough models that are also available. This doesn't mean the TX30 isn't tough - it's waterproof to 10m as well as being dust, freeze and shock proof. Adding to its stylish look, the 3.3 inch LCD touch screen fills the rear of the camera, with no buttons except for those on the top.

Image quality is good, but it's the Magnifying Glass Plus mode that was really impressive. It can be a little tricky to get the focusing right, but with practice you can take some stunning shots. The TX30 also shoots full resolution images at 10 fps.

 
  The Sony Cybershot DSC-TX30 is one of the more stylish waterproof cameras available and has a very impressive and unique macro mode.
Excellent Magnifying Glass Plus mode Decent image quality Waterproof to 10m Dust, freeze and shockproof 10 fps continuous shooting Stylish looking waterproof camera Large, high-resolution responsive touchscreen Water gets behind the sliding lens cover Battery and memory card cover only has a single clip Lots of red-eye in portrait shots when using flash Noisy images from ISO 3200 upwards

The Canon 90D is a DSLR that operates best when used as if it were a mirrorless camera. It offers live view autofocus that's competitive and easy to use, class-leading image quality, and video specs that'll appeal to the masses, all in a familiar, DSLR-shaped package.

Sony's new a7R IV has grabbed headlines with its new 61MP sensor and revamped autofocus system, but it also comes with a ton of refinements in terms of handling, build, and more. Find out all the details in our initial review.

The Canon G5 X Mark II earns a Silver Award with its very good image quality, flexibility and the overall engaging experience of using the camera. However, if you need the very best in autofocus and video, other options may suit you better. Find out all the details in our full G5 X II review.

360 photos and video can be very useful for certain applications (as well as having fun). The Vuze+ is an affordable 360 camera that supports both 2D and 3D (stereo vision) capture, and might be the best option for someone wanting to experiment with the 360 format.

The Mikme Pocket is a portable wireless mic with particular appeal to smartphone users looking to up their game and improve the quality of recorded audio without the cost or complexity or traditional equipment.
