I know I already have a waterproof, shockproof, freezeproof camera. And I know I also have my ever trusty regular Sony point and shoot camera. But.
My waterproof camera doesn’t deliver the kind of pictures I want. These past couple of years, I felt like I sacrificed picture quality for underwater usability and for peace of mind whenever my clumsy daughter decides to dribble to camera on asphalt. I’ve had enough.
At the same time, my cute daughter dropped my wonderful non-shockproof Sony P&S camera and broke the clasp for the battery slot. I now conveniently secure it with Scotch tape but I also know that I need a new camera. Also, I’m done with toting two cameras every time we go out on a trip. So when I saw the Sony TX5, I knew I found the camera of my dreams. 
The last three P&S cameras that I owned have all been Sony, so I really believe in their products. The TX5 is slim (no thanks to adipex diet pills, I guess, haha!), it has 3.0″ wide touch screen, 4x optical zoom, “Exmor R” sensor, iSweep Panorama Mode, and does 10fps at full 10.2 megapixels. More importantly, its sexy airtight construction is waterproof, shockproof, dustproof, and freeze-proof – absolutely everything I want.
Now, to convince hubby…
