When Sony issued a camera with sophisticated 3D Sweep Panorama, Cyber-Shot DSC-TX9 had become the best in the T-series models that replaced DSC-TX7 position.

This little camera has interest features. Besides its 3D sweep panoramic mode, TX9 generates 12-megapixel resolution from Exmor R CMOS image sensor; system superior auto exposure modes; background de-focus; autofocus mode; flash natural; selection of background color; 1920x1080 AVCHD video (60i)recording and a very efficiently 3.5” touch screen LCD.

A superiority of TX9 is 3D sweep panorama function. By moving the camera around a scene, you can take multiple images and then will be processed by camera so that becomes a 3D image. There are also multi-angle sweep mode, which the camera takes 15 photos at different angles as you move it. You can also tilt the camera to playback mode and see the results on 3D projection at the screen.

Despite not being the first in a 3D camera technology, various features combination that had been held by Sony Cybershot made 3D images in this camera was very different than the closest competitor, Fujifilm FinePix Real 3D W1.
