Le Sony CyberShot DSC-TX5 Argent est doté d'un capteur CMOS de 10 Mp (résolution de 3648 x 2736 px), et d'un écran de visée de 7,6 cm.

Pour stocker les clichés, sa mémoire interne de 11 Mo sera utilement complétée par des cartes mémoire Memory Stick Duo, Memory Stick Duo Pro ou Memory Stick Pro-HG Duo.
The Sony Cyber-shot TX5 is a remarkable camera, a sleek and attractive pocket compact that is just as tough as most of the military-grade rugged compacts. Build quality is superb, the touch-screen interface is versatile and easy to use, performance is outstanding and the picture quality is superb. My local camera shop tells me that this thing is flying off the shelves, and I'm not at all surprised.
Although the touchscreen is sometimes frustrating, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 is a decent entry into the rugged-camera market that looks stylish enough for everyday use. We would have appreciated at least one more hardware button for quickly cycling through shooting styles, because the last thing we want to do when we're scuba diving is to fool with confusing touchscreen menus. That said, it's certainly the most day-to-day-friendly rugged camera we've seen, and its features and its low-light shots are impressive.
