Splash of sophistication.

The TX200V doesn't look waterproof. But it is. And dustproof too. Sure, it sports a sleek glass-panel face and a slim, stylish body backed by a 3.3" OLED touchscreen display, but it's as up for adventure as you are. Beneath its chic exterior lies a beast of an image sensor for capturing high-resolution 18.2MP photos and Full HD video. And with ultra-fast focusing speeds and up to 10 fps shooting, you'll never miss a moment of the fun—whether snorkelling in Hawaii, or heading out for a night on the town.

Pixel Power

With a massive 18.2MP Exmor® R CMOS sensor, capture ultra-high resolution images that take full advantage of the camera's sharp Carl Zeiss® lens. More pixels means you can enlarge, zoom in and crop your photos without losing detail. Advanced processing technology reduces noise and graininess for incredibly crisp, clear images—even in challenging low-light conditions.

Waterproof and Dustproof

Want a camera you can take anywhere—worry-free? One that keeps up with your active lifestyle, plus delivers high-quality photos and Full HD video? The TX200V is it. It's waterproof to a depth of 16 ft, completely dustproof yet slim and stylish enough to take anywhere—from underwater escapades, to a night on the town.

Glass Panel Design

The TX200V features a full-flat glass panel face, making it one of the thinnest cameras in its class, and endowing it with a sophisticated look rare in the world of waterproof cameras. The 5x optical zoom extends internally so the front of the camera remains streamlined. Compose your shots on the big, bright 3.3" OLED touchscreen display, which features a whopping 1,229K dots for ultra-high resolution and extreme clarity.

Focus Fast

Get super-fast, DSLR-like focusing speeds—even in low light—so you never miss a shot. Combining a high-performance Exmor R CMOS sensor with a powerful BIONZ processor, auto focus and sensitivity are greatly improved for beautiful, blur-free shots.

Amazing HD Movies

Record crystal-clear, Full HD 1080/60p movies of all your adventures (records in 29-minute segments). Capture stunning, fast-motion video with reduced distortion that looks great when played back on your HDTV2. Notice a perfect photo op while shooting video? With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.

10x Clear Image Zoom

Zoom in close for great travel, sports and wildlife photos. The TX200V boasts 5x optical zoom plus 10x Clear Image digital zoom technology to bring you near enough to capture distant details. A powerful image processor reduces graininess for crisper, more realistic, higher-quality images—even in close-ups.
