The Sony TX10 is to rugged cameras what Scarlett Johansson is to moviemaking — it's all about the looks. Normally, anyone who is remotely interested in aesthetics will steer well clear of tough cameras as they're all as hideous as can be. The TX10, however, turns this preconception on its head with its stylish exterior.
Like the camera that this supersedes, the TX5, the TX10 couples a slide-down front panel with a 3-inch touchscreen at the back. There are only a few (tiny) physical buttons to be found, including the shutter and power button combination at the top, offset by the miniature zoom rocker on the side. A playback button and video record button can be found just beneath these main controls. The front sliding panel is a bit petulant, only wanting to move down when it's pushed from a certain angle. Behind it is a 4x optical zoom Carl Zeiss-branded lens, with a maximum aperture range of f/3.5-4.6, as well as a stereo microphone for 1080i HD video recording.
The touchscreen has plenty of the features that one would expect, including touch-to-focus and a double tap in playback mode to zoom-in on an image. Featuring Sony's Exmor R sensor, this backlit CMOS is the same variety as found on many other Cyber-shot cameras, allowing for quick continuous shooting and good low-light performance. The TX10 can shoot in 4:3 (full 16.2-megapixel resolution) or 16:9 (12-megapixel resolution).

Pros:
Sony tradition of quality pictures and video. Haven't used the extreme features yet such as underwater photography but I like the compact design that easily fits in your pocket. Takes great pictures in low lighting.
Cons:
Getting use to touch screen sometimes a little sensitive.
Summary:
If your looking for a compact camera to take HD video and high quality pictures do so. But if u want a power house then u should look else where. Overall this is a great camera for the outdoors person or just to replace your older camera.
