The Sony Cyber-shot TX200V camera features the 18.2-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor, the highest-resolution currently offered in the "point and shoot" market, and a BIONZ processor, which work together to create images and video files with extremely low noise.

The advanced model also offers lightning-fast AutoFocus speeds of approximately 0.13 seconds in daytime and 0.25 seconds in low-light situations (speeds may vary based on shooting conditions), helping to ensure you never miss the moment.

Additionally, the TX200V Cyber-shot showcases a reinforced glass design with a large, 8.3-centimetre Xtra Fine TruBlack OLED wide touch-screen. It is also water-proof (up to five metres), dust-proof and freeze-proof (up to -10 degrees Celsius), and features a "Photo Creativity" interface that lets users easily adjust creative settings to produce unique, custom-styled photos.

The Cyber-shot camera features an "Extra High Sensitivity" technology, which minimises unwanted noise in low-light shooting conditions. For consumers who want to get closer to their subjects without losing quality, the model has "Clear Image Zoom" technology, which boosts optical zoom to 2x virtual capability (i.e. 5x optical zoom to 10x virtual zoom) at full camera resolution.

The TX200V also offers image stabilization during video and still shooting. Using technology borrowed from the Sony Handycam lineup, the "Optical Steady Shot Active Mode" reduces blurring caused by camera shake while on the move. The camera can shoot video in Full HD resolution.

Additional notable features include nine "Picture Effect" options for expanded creativity, "Dual Record" capabilities, 3D shooting modes (3D Still Image, 3D Sweep Panorama and Sweep Multi Angle), and fast shooting speeds (10 fps burst mode).
