Sony Cyber-SHOT DSC-TX55B 16.2 Point & Shoot Camera

Sony has announced the TX55 touch screen card-style camera. The 16.2MP camera features a backside illuminated CMOS sensor and stabilized 5x zoom lens (which we calculate to offer a range of approximately 26 - 130 mm equivalent). The TX55 can capture 1080i60 movies and store them on the MicroSD/SDHC or Memory Stick Micro cards it uses to keep the body size down to an impressively slim 12.2mm deep. Beyond this it has a 3.3inch OLED touch screen, the now-standard Sony features such as 3D Sweep Panorama and gains the Picture Effects image processing filters that debuted in the NEX C3. It also uses a By Pixel Super Resolution digital zoom mode that applies image processing to try enhance the image back up to full pixel count.
