About the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX66
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX66 came out in February 2012 and is filed here as an older compact. At 93 x 54 x 13 mm and 109 g, it is a slim, light body built to slip into a pocket. A 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor of 18 megapixels sits behind a 5x optical zoom that covers 26-130 mm in 35mm terms at F3.5-4.8.
The rear carries a 3.3-inch monitor, large for its size, which suits a camera that relies on screen-based operation. Power comes from the NP-BN battery, and images are stored on SD or SDHC cards. That focal range and slim form suit everyday snapshots, group photos and casual travel use. It is less suited to distant wildlife or sport, where the 130 mm equivalent ends early.
Buying one used
Check the NP-BN battery for swelling or short runtime, and make sure the SD or SDHC card is read correctly. On this very slim body, inspect the 3.3-inch screen and the lens extending and retracting.
