Skinny mini.

Say hello to the thinnest camera in the Cyber-shot® lineup. As slim as a AA battery, you can slip it in your pocket or purse and head wherever the warm wind blows you. Capture enchanting evening shots thanks to the 18.2MP Exmor® R CMOS sensor renowned for its superb low-light performance, and snap up to 10 frames per second so you never miss a moment. And with a luxurious 3.3" OLED touchscreen display, flipping through photos or composing a shot is truly a pleasure.

Thin Is In

Stop wishing you'd had your camera with you when something unexpectedly amazing happens. Since it's slimmer than a AA battery at just under 0.5" thick, the TX66 is the perfect size to take everywhere. Slip it into a pocket, purse or backpack on your way out, and you and your camera will be in the right place at the right time when something unbelievable pops up.

Pixel Power

With an 18.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor, capture high resolution images that take full advantage of the camera's sharp Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens. This high quality sensor enables advanced image processing that reduces graininess for incredibly crisp, high-resolution photos and videos—even in less-than-ideal low lighting conditions.

Effortless Effects

Seven effects give your imagination free reign to expand creative horizons. For a rich, painted look, try HDR Painting. For an artistic black-and-white feel, there's Rich-tone Monochrome. Transform mundane landscapes into works of art with Miniature, try Toy Camera for a unique perspective, or sample other in-camera effects that take snapshots to a whole new level.

Focus Faster

Focusing is faster than ever thanks to the collaboration of four technologies: an advanced Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, Exmor R CMOS sensor, a newly-developed BIONZ® image processor and optimized focus processing. The result? Tack-sharp focus in as little as 0.1 seconds, so you never miss a shot.

Never Miss a Moment

Capture up to 10 frames per second at full 18.2MP resolution. The perfect feature for high-speed sports or capturing a unique sequence of photos, no matter how fast the action, you know you'll get the shot. Plus, a mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects for even crisper, clearer high-speed shots.

Amazing HD Movies

Record crystal-clear movies at the highest resolution available with Full HD 1080/60i AVCHD™ video capture1. Stunning, fast motion video with reduced distortion looks great when played back on your HDTV2. Notice a perfect photo opp while shooting video? With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.
