Sony TX10 Mini Review 2

More geeking!

Alright I managed to further test my TX10's capabilities. This time i tested it's high ISO performance as well as its various scene functions. All shots below are at shot at least with ISO800, with the exception of the peanut shot, which was at iso 640.

This was shot with the Handheld Twilight mode.ISO3200. Although details are lost but at least the moment is still there! Basically the camera continually takes a number of shots and combined all the pictures together to reduce image noise.

100% crop. I wonder what is this....

Super macro mode again! Gosh this is addictive. XD

Another shot. Pulled some levels and adjusted the brightness. Still a pretty clean picture!

The AWB of this camera, like any other cameras, can't really figure out the correct temperature especially under heavy tungsten lighting.

However, after custom setting the WB in the Gourmet mode, all is good. Colour separation is pretty good as well! You can see that the capsicum have different shades of green!

Hot plate Beancurd

Tomyam soup.

All is not that perfect with this camera actually. The camera doesn't really know how to bump the ISO to get a higher shutter speed. It will always opt for low ISO, and a low shutter speed to get a appropriate exposure. Thankfully, there's the program mode to set ISO manually. If only I could set ISO in other scene modes this would be one really great compact! If I can't set aperture or shutter speed, it will be the best(for this price range of course). =P
