Waterproof Camera
on August 20, 2014
Posted by: mycasan
Very bad experience. Use the camera for 11 days and broked down underwater. Very upset as only took @ 11 photos underwater.
Do not buy this product.
Went to the Heartland store and they don't want to replace camera or return money eventhough is their bad product. If I had read reviews before purchasing I would not bought this camera.
I have always been an loyal customer to Sony, cell phone, audio and of course cameras! Believe it or not!! I have owned 3 cameras from the TX series. The 1st one TX10 lasted approx 18 months. The little plastic locked the battery door was broken. Since the warranty was over, I bought the TX20 as I really like the features of the TX series. 14 months later, the little blue plastic which used to keep the battery in place was broken. I was upset but my faith with Sony cameras was still there. I bought a TX30 and once AGAIN the little blue plastic thingy which kept the battery in place was no where to found. This time it was 13 months. I couldn't believe I bought the TX cameras 3 TIMES and each upgraded version were having the same problem with the plastic battery lock. I had to say I am totally disappointed even though I love this series so much that I bought it THREE times!! I don't mind paying a premium for the Sony brand but the quality of this camera really didn't make sense with its price tag. From one frustrated and disappointed Sony customer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Amazing Camera

Bought this camera for our site and we liked it so much we completed a detailed report. Enjoy!
I had the old Sony Cyber-Shot and liked it!....But this one is wonderful and water proof! Amazing the upgrades from my old one purchased in 2004 and it was 3 times the price of my new one!
Decent Camera - Hope it lasts longer than the last

Verified Purchase:Yes
I originally purchased the TX10 about 3 years ago. I was very pleased with it's water resistance until I took it to Key Biscayne in Miami. I took about 20 photos and none of them made it to the memory card. Then the screen went fuzzy - like an old tv that couldn't tune into a signal. However, I was very pleased with the compact size so decided to buy another one. This one feels a little more sturdy and has some nice features. I couldn't get the 3D to work, but the continuous shot feature was nice to have at the last pool party. It takes decent pictures - not nearly as nice as a DSLR, but I've never found a waterproof DSLR!
I would recommend this to a friend!

after owning the t7 since 2005 it finally die in the end of 2013 so I though the tx30 would be just as great product but I was wrong, I bought my Tx30 on november of 2013 and by march 2014 it was dead "water seem to leak inside the camera" and now I only have a extra charger for my phone, camera never really work fine, it froze alot and just to get a red light by the battery almost every time I use it) only way to get it back to work was removing battery, I live in Mexico and for some reason sony store in mexico won cover sony product bought in the USA (I bought my TX30 in USA) on my last visit to San Diego this past May of 2014 took camera to sony store and they said they can not help me with my tx30 =/ I really want it to love the camera since I took some really cool and fun photos but for the hard earn money I paid and the short time it work is just really hard to like this product .
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
