Thin to win.

Get the thinnest Cyber-shot camera ever made with a super stylish body as slender as a single AA battery. Enjoy enchanting evening shots thanks to the large 16.2MP "Exmor R" CMOS sensor and capture all the action at up to 10 frames per second. Shoot video in full HD 1080/60i with dual record of stills and movies or add a dimension of fun to sharing your memories with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama™ mode. Notice the difference the 3.3" OLED display makes when reviewing photos or selecting focus.

  • Great Low-light Shots

    Sometimes a flash can wash out a scene and make it hard to authentically 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 from a night out on the town never looked better.

  • Get Thin

    Stop saying you wish you had your camera with you when something unexpectedly amazing happens. Since its slimmer than an AA battery at just under 0.5", the TX55 is the perfect size to take everywhere. Slip it into a pocket, purse or backpack on your way out of the house and you and your camera will be in the right place at the right time the next time something unbelievable pops up.

  • 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, Rich-tone Monochrome. Transform mundane landscapes into works of art with Miniature or achieve tunnel view, high contrast and four color shifts with Toy Camera. Create stunning monochrome images containing a single designated color with Partial Color or heighten blackness for a soft, clean look with High-key.

  • Amazing HD Movies

    Shoot beautiful HD movies then burn them to DVD. By recording in the AVCHD™ format, you can transfer full 1080i clarity and smooth motion video to disc then play it on your Blu-ray Disc™ player or PS3™ system7. Create an entire library of memories in high definition. Movie files are limited to 29 minutes each.

  • Brilliant OLED Screen

    Feast your eyes on a stunning 3.3" (1,229K dots) OLED touch screen with wide viewing angle. Capture brilliant-quality still images and movies and control focusing operations with ease. Enjoy the sturdy feeling the reinforced-glass touch screen adds to the TX55 as it simultaneously prevents color bleed during touch operations.

  • Shoot in Immersive 3D

    Capture still images—plus vast scenic vistas and 16:9 shots—in spectacular 3D. As you sweep across the panorama, the camera records separate right-eye and left-eye images that make landscapes come alive on your compatible 3D TV or 3D-enabled VAIO® computer4.

All screen images simulated.

Capture mesmerizing moments to share with the people back home – even if you're just down the street. Since the TX55 is so small – as slim as a AA battery – it's more likely you'll have it on you when the perfect opportunity presents itself to create beautifully frameable images. Get exquisite shots even in low light situations thanks to the back-illuminated "Exmor R" CMOS sensor. Reviewing your shots and selecting focus just got even easier since the beautiful 3.3" OLED display makes a real difference when compared to most LCDs.
