Sony DSC-TX1 Snowflake digital camera in Japan

December 2nd, 2009 | Posted in Digital Cameras | No Comments »

This winter, Sony offers a Snowflake version of DSC-TX1 compact digital camera. The special edition will be available in Silver, Black and Rose. You will not pay more for the engraving, but Sony will offer it only for the festive season. I like the silver version, but I don’t live in Japan…

If you don’t know the DSC-TX1 (price: $329), it is a 10.2 megapixel compact digital camera that has a 4X optical zoom and a Carl Zeiss lens. At the back there is a large 3-inch LCD display. There’s a ton of features, but some are cool: 10fps burst mode, low light capabilities (for a compact digital camera) and 185 degrees panorama.
