Ok sorry too excited until cannot think about subtle and interesting way of drawing your attention to this post and then gently introducing the Sony Cyber-shot TX5 wtf.

I was passed a camera to test to see if it’s really Shock-proof, Water-proof, Dust-proof, Temperature-proof, Audrey-idiot-proof as what Sony says.

And it is! But more on that later.

I love my current camera but sometimes when there’s not enough light my pictures tend to turn out a little grainy.

See what I mean? And this was AFTER I edited it to make it clearer.

So I was excited to see how the TX5 would fare.

With insufficient yellow lighting!

Damn clear right! No sign of graininess at all.

I have Shaky Hand Syndrome and I am a psychological failure because the more I tell myself to stay still the more I inadvertently twitch so I always fail at taking clear pictures without flash. So the TX5 definitely worked for me!

Ok so what I did this weekend was I brought out the camera with me every day to take photos in different places and lighting to see how the photos would turn out!

Picture of blister on my foot WTF sorry to put your eyes through such suffering wtf.

If you notice, my foot is blur even though it’s right in front. That’s because I was testing out this function here you can tap on the touch screen and set where you want the focus point to be.

I put the focus on the plastic red stool which is why it’s the clearest point in the photo.

Wombeh at lunch in coffee shop.

Testing the camera under sunlight. Damn clear can see my pores and lines on my eyelids fml.

Inside car with Shan Shan who was here to visit!

In broad daylight with Suet.

Elise used to have a Cyber-shot and somehow I always thought her pictures turned out too yellow so I wasn’t very sure about getting one.

But I take it all back lor it’s just a matter of knowing which features to use for which situations. But then again, this camera is quite smart cos it knows how to adjust itself depending on the situation and it’s really good at detecting correctly the setting needed! So noobs like me can just use auto function.

Like later in the evening we were at this event. And truth be told, the place was actually very dim. But the photo came out so bright!

Suet, Ginny and Vvens were damn surprised at how bright it turned out but it’s because i set the camera that way – brighter is always nicer I think!

Testing out the Smile Shutter technology!

Basically this function works so if you push the button, the camera waits until it detects when you smile, and automatically takes your picture!

Another photo because I like the colors…

Another indoor shot (of Wombeh and Ah Quah of Lengmou fame) playing Xbox -_-

And one of the most awesome possum features – the ability to edit photos purikura style on the camera!

It’s a touch screen so you can just write on the screen whatever you want. You can also put a frame and stamps onto the photo! See now Suet has a hibiscus and I have a tiara wtf.

Takes macro shots really well too – the camera automatically goes into macro mode when you bring it up close to an object so you don’t need to change modes yourself.

(that’s me, Suet, Ginny & Vivien in polaroids!)

And then came the biggest test of all – to see if the camera worked as well underwater as it did on land.
TO be honest I have never seen a camera work underwater before so I was very skeptical!

What if I put the camera underwater and it suddenly emits sparks or something!

Then I’m doomed to Electronic Hell for ruining a perfectly good gadget.

But everyone I asked insisted it would be okay so I shakingly decided to test it out.

No access to swimming pools or oceans to take fancy schmancy diving shots so I did the next best thing…

Guess how this photo was taken!

I immersed the camera in a glass of water and took a photo of myself WTF.

I’m really quite ingenious sometimes wtf.

(glass of water not really challenging because it’s actually Water-proof up to depth of 3 meters!)

Anyway if you wanna win a Sony Cyber-shot TX5 yourself, post a picture and explain how it reflects the theme “My Water Moments”. You have to explain how the photo connects to the theme and how it could have been so much better if you had a water-proof camera like Sony Cyber-shot TX5 to aid you. You also have to mention its other features and submit your permalink to the Nuffnang Sony Camera blog post.
