Sony's latest Cybershots have changed my wish list for a new range finder camera. During the Sony event at Shangri-la, Boracay, we were able to use all these new toys for the team competition. Coming in from the Cyber-shot TX1 model, Sony's TX5 is the waterproof (10 feet), shockproof (5 feet), dustproof, and freeze-proof (14°-104 °F) version. On the other hand, the Sony Cyber-shot TX7 is a similar model with the same 10.2MP sensor (25mm equivalent), 4x optical zoom, 1080i AVCHD Movie Mode, with a special 10-frames-per-second shooting mode (burst mode) and Sweep Panorama Mode. Sony also introduced it's own Bloggie camera (MHS-PM5/V) for shooting short HD videos. The Bloggie takes full HD 1080p videos at MPEG4 AVC/H.264 (MP4) format. Sony finally lent me one of their limited Sony Vaio P to test out for a week. Sony has been taking it's time to get its own netbook out in the market and at the same time, criticizing other manufacturers for a mediocre product.
