I just thought you’ll like to have an insight into the XY Chromosome brain.

I managed to get my grubby paws on a Cyber-shot TX7 and decided to take it out for a night out of clubbing!

intro

Their were hens night too.A hen party is seen as a special event their. All were dancing with pole and shirtless. That was really a treat for girls eye.

cheers

I’ve always been apprehensive (Read: afraid) of taking photos at night due to the tragic results that inevitably happens. I’ll take 10 photos in a row and ALL of them will turn out bad. >.<

camwhore

However, ever since the Cyber-shot TX7 I have faced my fears and conquered them! Here’s my awesome night out at Zouk in KL with friends the previous weekend.

I love the rich and textured quality of the photos. There’s Intelligent Auto Adjustment – perfect for the lazy ones among us.

Hand-held Twilight is another Godsend from the good people at Sony. A lot of clubs don’t allow you to bring in dSLRs so a compact that can rival a dSLR in night shots is your best bet.

There are also heaps of Scene Selection options – from Twilight Portrait to Gourmet (for taking food photos) in addition to whimsical features like Pet.

Food, glorious food! It finally looks like what it should be!

A panoramic shot! Easy peasy to do.

The thing that really takes the cake in terms of the Cyber-shot TX7 is the option of taking 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio photos.

You won’t know how useful widescreen is until you’ve used it in a club with people jostling you around and elbowing you to get some dance space. You can also take 8 photos in a row – perfect for OCD people like me who likes to choose the best possible picture from a range.

Personally, the feature I like the most in the TX7 is the ability to shoot in HD quality video, so I’m going to show you how well it performs in low lighting conditions with multi colored strobe lights messing with the sensor.

I have had a lot of problems with shooting videos in my previous digicam and with the HD quality video recording with this, it’s really tempting me to go back to Cyber-shot digicams. It’s sleek as hell and easy to slip into your pocket or purse for a great night out. The touch screen works wonders too in getting a lot of appreciative glances from the people around you. πŸ˜‰

Check out the full product specs here. All photos taken with the TX7, except the ones featuring it, obviously.

I only have one complain about the Cyber-shot TX7. I’ll have to return it tomorrow. πŸ™

  2. ah nel: Yeah, this is supposed to be a “night out” camera – does very well in clubs and low light conditions. I love the touchscreen too – good photos while out for a night. πŸ™‚
    foodcrazee: It’s very compact – 3 of my previous digicams were Cyber-shots (one lost in a toilet, another dropped into a waterfall, and don’t know where the third one went) – and as a testement to the second, the memory card STILL worked despite being submerged for ages. πŸ™‚

  3. Both of my cams are cybershots and they never give me any problems even after me using for 4 years now. I think Canon is the worst :p Almost all my friends using Canon had problems with their cam after 1 year. hehe.

  4. chefmel: Yeah Mel, my 3 Cyber-shots served me well too except I kinda lost them in toilets, dropped them into waterfalls et etc. It’s a good cam eh? I am considering it as a secondary digicam. πŸ™‚

  5. yuetmui: I don’t have it myself. T_T
    It’s RM 1,588 atall Sony Centers though, very good for night photography.
    You gotta say what? πŸ™‚
    Jerine: Haha! You don’t look fat la you look great! Awesome! πŸ™‚

  6. eiling: Yeah, it’s an awesome clubbing digicam – compact, portable and takes good night shots. πŸ™‚
    yuetmui: Oh I know why! It’s considered a special character so it terminates – know the one you’re using.
    Anyway, yeah, the Sweep Panoramic mode is great! It’s not like in the past where you have to actually take several photos and try to align it to the previous one. With the Cyber-shot, you just literally sweep through the scene and it gets everything! πŸ™‚
    I love it too.
    WEEN: Yeah, took the 12:20 pm out of New Zealand last night, back in Malaysia now! πŸ™‚

  9. Karl: Yeah, it’s a compact digicam…it has this mode called Intelligent Twilight Handheld – that’s what I used to take the first two photos. No tripods. πŸ™‚

  14. I think what you published made a bunch of sense. However, what about this? what if you were to create a killer headline? I ain’t saying your content isn’t good, however suppose you added a title that grabbed folk’s attention? I mean Reclaim the night! » sixthseal.com is kinda boring. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create news headlines to grab people to click. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people interested about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little livelier.

  15. Hands down, Apple’s app store wins by a mile. It’s a huge selection of all sorts of apps vs a rather sad selection of a handful for Zune. Microsoft has plans, especially in the realm of games, but I’m not sure I’d want to bet on the future if this aspect is important to you. The iPod is a much better choice in that case.

  16. If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.
