Wonderful when wet.

Capture crystal-clear pictures and HD videos1 poolside or underwater without a worry. This pint-sized powerhouse packs in 18.2 megapixels, plus it's waterproof, dustproof, freezeproof and shockproof4. The generous 3.3" OLED touchscreen display provides ultra-sharp, high-resolution images so you can frame your shots, adjust settings and review content with ease. Plus, capture intricately detailed close-ups thanks to Magnifying Glass Plus mode—built-in LED lights eliminate shadows cast from the camera for bright, beautiful pictures every time.

Tough yet stylish.

Run with a rowdy crowd? The Cyber-shot TX30 camera was built to keep up. It's waterproof, dustproof, shockproof, yet slim and stylish enough to take anywhere—from whitewater rafting, to girls' night out4. With a high-performance 18.2-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor and advanced in-camera stabilization, you're sure to capture incredible photos and HD video of all your adventures. So bring on the raging rivers, dusty deserts and freezing slopes—the TX30 is ready for whatever action awaits.

Touchscreen with a view.

Compose your shots on the big, bright 3.3" OLED touchscreen display. Featuring a whopping 1,229K dots for ultra-high resolution and extreme clarity, your photos and videos will pop with rich color and detail. And with touchscreen convenience at your fingertips, adjusting camera settings and reviewing shots is super convenient. Just tap or swipe the screen.

Pixel power.

With an 18.2-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor, capture high-resolution images that take full advantage of the camera's high quality Carl Zeiss lens. More pixels means you can enlarge, zoom in and crop your photos without losing detail. Advanced processing technology reduces noise and graininess for incredibly crisp, clear images—even in challenging low-light conditions.

Down to the finest detail.

Capture ultra fine details—like the surface of an ice crystal or intricate texture of a flower petal—using Magnifying Glass Plus mode. Every subtle nuance is translated with depth and accuracy for intriguing, macro-like photographs. Soft LED lighting reduces unwanted shadows and helps bring the photo to life.

Crisp, beautiful HD videos.

Record crystal-clear movies in high resolution with HD 1080/60i AVCHD video capture (records in 29-minute segments). Stunning, fast-motion video with reduced distortion looks great when played back on your HDTV2. Notice a perfect photo op while shooting video? With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.

Get close with 5x zoom.

Zoom in close for great sports, travel and wildlife photos. The Cyber-shot TX30 camera features 5x optical zoom plus 10x Clear Image digital zoom technology to bring you near enough to capture distant details. The camera's powerful processor reduces graininess for crisper, higher-quality close-ups.

Get the perfect camera for your active lifestyle. The Sony Cyber-shot® DSC-TX30 is waterproof to a depth of 33 feet, shockproof from falls of about five feet, dustproof and freezeproof4. So you can take it to the beach, pool or slopes without a worry—but it's also slim, stylish and perfect for a night on the town. Featuring a high-resolution 3.3" OLED touchscreen with an impressive 1229K dots, your images will pop with clarity and rich color. Touchscreen convenience makes reviewing shots and adjusting settings a pleasure. And with an 18.2MP Exmor® R CMOS image sensor, you'll capture gorgeous, high-quality photos and Full HD videos1 with this tough waterproof camera, even in challenging low-light conditions.

Rugged and stylish

This camera is just as much at home in the water as on a night on the town! The sleek and stylish camera fits the slimmest pocket or purse, yet is waterproof to a depth of 33 feet, shockproof from falls up to approximately 5 feet and dustproof thanks to its airtight construction. This durable camera can even withstand extreme weather conditions, as it is operable as low as 14 degree Fahrenheit4. Seamlessly shifting from underwater marvels to a night on the town, the TX30 always makes it easy to get the best shot!

Magnifying Glass Plus

Magnifying Glass Plus and LED lights help capture intricate detail on subjects as close as 1/3”. The LED lights help illuminate the subject and remove any shadows created by the close proximity of the camera.

Capture 18.2MP images even in low-light

The 18.2MP Exmor® R CMOS sensor captures ultra-high definition images that take full advantage of the camera’s sharp Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® lens. The sensor enables advanced processing that reduces noise levels, resulting in stunning low light images with incredible details.

5x optical zoom plus 10x Clear Image Digital Zoom

Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.

3.3" OLED touch screen with high quality viewing

Still photos and movies can be beautifully displayed on the 3.3" OLED with touch-screen (1229K dots). The organic light emitting display (OLED) shows the image through the lens with higher contrast and a wider viewing angle than conventional LCDs, for powerful, vivid playback. And, its high-speed response is faster than ordinary LCDs for smoother playback of dynamic action.

AVCHD 1080/60i movies

Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080 AVCHD™ video.¹ This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.² With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.
