Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7
Competitors

As well as being compared against other compacts, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7 is also often compared to waterproofs, ultra compacts and travel zooms. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX7's top rivals come from Sony (such as the Cyber-shot DSC-TX9 and the Cybershot TX10) and Canon (such as the PowerShot SD3500 IS and the ELPH 300 HS)

Generally, some of the advantages of the Sony DSC-TX7 compared to other compact competitors include: it records higher quality movies (1080p @ 30fps vs 720p @ 30fps), has a significantly wider wide angle lens (25 mm vs 33 mm), has a slightly larger screen (3.5" vs 3.0"), has a significantly higher resolution screen (921k dots vs 460k dots) and shoots faster continuously (10 fps vs 1.7 fps).

However, on average it takes much lower resolution photos (8.1 MP vs 9.8 MP), has a much smaller sensor (1/2.7" 5.6x4.2mm vs 1/2.3" 6.1x4.6mm), doesn't have an OLED screen (LCD vs OLED) and slightly shorter exposures (2 seconds vs 30 seconds).
