Amazing things come in this small package. The Cyber-shot TX5 has it all, from a stunningly thin 3/4" body to advanced technologies that make it easy to shoot gorgeous photos and videos. Aside from its remarkable intelligence, the TX5 is also built extremely tough. Its airtight construction is waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, and freeze-proof. Just slip it in your pocket and you're prepared to capture the world in style, no matter where you are.

Just 3/4" thin, the pocket-sized TX5 is also waterproof to a depth of 10ft, shockproof from falls up to 5ft3, completely dustproof4 and can operate at extreme temperatures (14°-104 °F). The TX5 is also highly intelligent, with incredible performance for dimly-lit underwater scenes and Intelligent Sweep Panorama mode that works even in icy climates.

No more fussing with tiny buttons. Just tap the large, 3.0" wide touch screen display to review your photos and videos in vivid color. It even works underwater, so now you can enjoy shooting breathtaking photos on land and underwater.

Sometimes a flash can wash out the scene, making it hard to capture the mood of the moment. For low-light environments, the back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor delivers stunning performance and increases sensitivity by 2x to reduce noise. Shots around the campfire never looked better.

Intelligent Sweep Panorama Mode reaches beyond the traditional wide angle lenses to let you capture expansive, breathtaking shots of landscapes or skyscrapers up to 258°. Just press the shutter and shoot the scene with a sweeping motion. The camera automatically stitches up to 100 pictures together for you.

Capture decisive moments—like midair dives into the pool—with the ability to shoot up to ten images in one second at full 10.2 megapixel resolution. And by employing a mechanical shutter, distortion is reduced when continuously shooting moving subjects. This feature is ideal for capturing fast action or a unique sequence of images.
