Waterproof, but with a stylish design
Impressive video mode and burst shooting mode
Glossy design means there’s not much to grip
Pricey for a waterproof camera
Introduction
Sony took the waterproof elements from the TX10, combined it with the sleek, glossy design of the TX100, and made a brand new Cyber-shot camera—the TX200V—that is one of the most stylish waterproof models we’ve ever seen. A word of warning: with its chic style comes a steep price tag, so you should expect to pay around $500 bucks for the privilege of owning Sony’s newest waterproof Cyber-shot.
Note: The DSC-TX200V is called the DSC-TX300 in Japan, so the model we photographed and wrote about during the CP+ tradeshow in Yokohama is labeled as such. The TX300 and TX200V are nearly identical, however, with the only major difference being the lack of WiFi connectivity on the TX200V.
