Wait for it; it features an 18 Megapixel Exmor R CMOS Sensor. Yes, you read right 18 Megapixels.\u00a0 It also features a 5x f3.5-4.8 26-130mm Carl Zeiss lens and a 3.3-inch 1.2-million dot resolution touch screen OLED display. It is also waterproof to 5m and is also freeze- and dustproof. So it seems that this little digital camera packs a very big punch and takes a beating from extreme conditions.<\/p>\n<p>The look of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/categories\/83\/Digital+Cameras\/\">camera<\/a> is greatly reminiscent of an iPhone. I actually initially thought it was an iPhone (when looking at the back of the camera) but that changed when I saw the Sony branding.\u00a0 One other interesting thing to note is that this is a new product and not an update of an existing model.<\/p>\n<p>Can this be seen as a fight back against the impact of cellphone cameras? Definitely, as the Cyber-shot TX200V makes a statement. I wonder whether the technology found in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/offers\/30322210\/Sony+Cyber-shot+DSC-TX200V\/\">Sony Cyber-shot TX200V<\/a> could make an appearance in a specific line of cellphones that Sony could make. Either way this little digital camera is packed with features that will make your head spin.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cybershot-TX200V.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3127\" title=\"Sony Cyber-shot TX200V\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.pricecheck.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/Cybershot-TX200V.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"424\" height=\"266\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony has unveiled new Cyber-shot digital cameras.
