reviewsWhat are people saying about the TX10
"Often I think the problem was that exposure was just off, mainly underexposing. But there are some pretty strong color shifts."imaging-resource.com | talking about the camera's image-quality
"Waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, freeze-proof and sliding cover actually protects works well to keep this camera safe"imaging-resource.com | talking about the camera's build-quality
"The Sony Cyber-shot TX10 is a very nicely designed ultra compact, certainly, with the virtue of being impervious to water."imaging-resource.com | talking about the camera's overall-performance

1. It is not compatible with a strobe flash because the automatic settings kept overexposing the photos. As there is no manual mode to compensate this is a big flaw. I left my strobe packed for the holiday.
2. My feeling was that while the underwater white balance settings are pretty good, once the camera is in the case these cannot be manually selected and I don't think the auto selection was that good.
3. The buttons on the housing work just fine with the touch screen if you go into the camera menu and select 'Housing= on". I have no clue why Island Voyager had the problems he did. The limitation is with the camera and its design, not the interaction between the housing and the camera.
4. The housing is pretty rugged and I had no issues with leaking at all. I have also not experience the cracking noted elsewhere on this forum
5. Having said all that, the camera performed its best taking flash photos in close focus macro mode (see attached photo) and was actually pretty good for this purpose. I suspect it would perform OK in non flash mode in shallow depths (5-8m) with good light and visibility but this is not the diving camera I was looking for.
Perfect pictures indoors or at low light. But I cannot take pictures in bright sunlight outdoors. Pictures come out too dark.
In the last week I have probably read every user review on the Sony DSC-TX10. Alot of people seem to be giving Sony a hard time about not standing behind this product. Let me share with you my recent experience:
Just got my TX10 back from the Sony Repair Center in Whitby, Ontario, Canada. They fixed the crack on the casing free of charge! EXCELLENT customer service, and way faster than I could have ever expected!
Dropped the camera off at the sony store here in Vancouver, Canada. It was then shipped to Ontario, Canada, fixed, and then sent to my house all within like 4 days!!! I didn't even have to pay for shipping. 100% fixed for free.
YES, infact, Sony does stand behind this product and the warranty it comes with.
Every Sony rep I spoke with was VERY friendly and did not accuse me for "physical or accidental damage" like other reviewers on the net have claimed.
Dropped it off with Sony on Monday late afternoon, got it back Friday morning. Increadible.
THANK YOU SONY!!!!!!
With that being said, BUYER BEWARE: THE TX10 IS NOT SHOCKPROOF!!!
It's a slick little camera that takes awesome underwater pics, JUST DONT DROP IT!
p.s. I still had it in the pool at my resort in Cuba even though I knew it was cracked and it still took awesome underwater shots and runs like a champ!
Not happy about the crack though...
