Sony India launches DSC-TX1 and DSX-WX1 low-light cameras with HD video

#Stable Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor technology.
#Amazingly clear, vibrant photos in low lighting scenarios.
#Wires and other circuit elements are positioned behind the photo-diodes so that Exmor R image sensors can gather more light, resulting in approximately twice the sensitivity compared to conventional sensors.
#To further extend low-light shooting performance, the TX1 and WX1 cameras incorporate the hand-held twilight and anti-motion blur multi-shot modes that capture six separate images in less than a second and utilise Sony’s BIONZ processor to combine the shots into a single image of extraordinary detail.
#Includes Sweep Panorama and 10 frames per second burst shooting features, in smaller, more compact bodies that match nearly any unique style.
#Capturing wide landscapes is as easy as "press and sweep." The BIONZ imaging processor automatically stitches the pictures together to create one stunning panoramic photo.
#With HD video capability, these can record HD movies in 720p high definition MPEG4 format for stunning large-screen home movie playback and record up to 29 minutes (or up to 2GB file size) in 720p format.
#Slim profile of just 16.5mm, the fashionable 10.2-megapixel TX1 features a new operation on the touch panel that lets you scroll through images with a flick of your finger and directly access menus on the 3-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus display.
#Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lens, the TX1 camera lets you focus as little as 0.4 inches from your subject for extraordinary close-up shots.
# 4x telescopic zoom perfect for capturing far-away subjects, and Sony’s Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation helps overcome camera shake.
#10.2 mega-pixel WX1 camera has a 2.7-inch Clear Photo LCD Plus display and is just over three quarters of an inch thin – an ideal choice for DSLR owners who also want to carry a compact, high performance digital still camera.
#WX1 camera features a Sony G lens with an extraordinary wide angle 24-120mm 5x optical zoom which offers nearly twice the light gathering capability of conventional lenses, and works together with the Exmor R sensor and low-light shooting modes to provide low-light photography beyond the abilities of other compact cameras.
#Includes all the next-gen software technology that Sony cameras are famous for, such as intelligent auto mode, face detection, scene selection, red-eye removal, anti-blur, smile shutter, etc.
