Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7

Samsung TL225 ComparisonSony DSC-T900 Comparison
The Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 has a very similar look and style to its slightly older cousin, the DSC-T900. Both are small, sleek compact cameras that have a slide-up cover on the front that protects the lens and a big, 3.5-inch LCD screen on the back that has a very high 921k pixel resolution. But the TX7 is slightly smaller (at just 0.68 inches thick) and includes the Sony Exmor R sensor that brings a number of new features into play, such as the ability to capture 10 full resolution frames in a second and a one-touch panorama mode.
These improvements in the TX7 are underlined by our test scores, where the TX7 scored higher in noise and resolution, and much higher in image stabilization, thanks to its new Anti-Motion Blur mode. The T900 has none of these new modes, so we would only recommend it over the TX7 if you find a particularly good deal on this older model.
