In this section we present pros and cons of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V.

Fixed Touchscreen

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V has a 3.50" Fixed touchscreen with 1,229k dot resolution.

BSI-CMOS Sensor

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V features a 16.2 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 28.1 mm². Its native ISO range is 125 - 3,200.

The camera has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Camera is equipped with BIONZ processor and can take pictures up to 4608 x 3456 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolutions like 4608 x 2592, 3648 x 2736, 2592 x 1944, 1920 x 1080, 640 x 480 with 4:3, 16:9 aspect ratios.

Image Stabilization

The camera has an image stabilization.

Built-in GPS

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX100V has a built-in GPS (Global Positioning System) technology which allows you to automatically tag the location where you took your photos. You can later categorize, organize, and search for photos based on location. This is very useful for travel and outdoor photographers for documenting the locations where images were captured.
