Sony digital imaging technique makes use of a CMOS Exmor R sensor which is attached to a high end optical block. The powerful processor used in the Sony Cyber-shot TX1 is named BIONZ, and it provides quality images even in really bright conditions.

The world renowned Carl Zeiss Lenses are used in the Sony Cyber-shot TX1 cameras and these lenses guarantee high end performance and life. Although the Sony Cyber-shot TX1 is slim and compact, it's ability to take high quality pictures isn't hindered. Instead, its compactness helps its portability. The Sony Cyber-shot TX1 provides features such as face recognition, smile sensing and intelligent scene sensing. These features help in taking photos with the most perfect timing and clarity.

The camera offers three major modes of photography namely Burst, Panorama, and Anti Motion Blur modes. The Burst mode helps to take up to 10 frames per second at full resolution which is more than that offered by many of the digital SLR cameras in the market. The Panorama mode can be used to take awesome pictures of landscapes within 3 seconds. One can simply hold the trigger and scan the image horizontally and vertically. With the Anti-Motion Blur Mode, the camera captures 6 frames of an image at any given instant and then combines them to form a perfectly timed, crystal clear image.

The camera is available in any of the following colors : silver, gray, pink, or blue. Having a thickness of only about 14.1mm, it is the first Cyber–shot camera to have launched into the market with all those features.
