Sony Cyber-shot Digital Still Cameras DSC-TX1 and DSC-HX1

Before you purchase a digital camera, there are a few things you need to take into consideration which is life of a battery, and the camera specs itself.

You know it's time for an upgrade if your pictures are dim, too much flash, or crop out a family picture. Perhaps your camera is more than 5 years old? It is a good idea to update your camera every 3 years, as technology is increasing dramatically - and I mean in a matter of months, not years.

There is a way to get around dull pictures, of course. With todays latest cutting edge technologies - Sony's latest Cybershot cameras have emerged and are highly popular amongst public today.

Revolutionary Image Sensor
Many photos are taken in dim lighting, so Sony equipped the Cyber-shot DSC-TX1 ($379; www.sonystyle.com) with a Exmor CMOS image sensor and DSC-H1 ($499) and these are responsible for capturing digital images. Designed to deliver extravagant results in images that are less grainy, sharper, and quite clear.

Rapid Photography
Each of these cameras take pictures of up to 10 images per second, even at the camera's highest resolution. This is an idea camera for sporting events and other quick moving objects.

Sweep Panorama Mode
Stop shooting and merging multiple images together with software programs. This camera allows you to generate stunning panoramas just by the simple click of the shutter button. It can sweep either horizontally or vertically without any effort. The camera then layers them accordingly to create a panorama result!
