The TX5, Sony's "tough" camera; Will it Blend? phht, probably, those Blendtec Blenders are STUPID evil, but Will Sony's little "tough" point and shoot happy snapper survive the torture test of Blunty? A man KNOWN to not just void warranties, but violate them with the thick end of a baseball bat... lets see.

Blunty3000 puts the SONY Cyber-shot DSC-TX5 camera he was offered for review, through it's hoops to see if it really IS as tough as sony have been telling people... by giving it several Drop tests, submersion in water, freezing it solid and setting it on fire*

Oh, and in case you were wondering, the time-lapse footage was shot on my iPhone 3GS using the ReelMoments app, and I had it mounted to the tripod using my OWLE Bubo (reviewed here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWjp5UeVxuE )

*note; Sony don't actually claim that it's fire-proof... at all... but it felt like a fun idea heh.

  • this was the video that sold me on buying the sony tx5 and i've had it for almost a year now and i have NO complaints or regrets!! it performs *so* well and i've dropped it and submerged it and besides a few minor scratches on the front-slide cover, it's brand-new

  • @MissLianokeolaMora Excellent. I'm glad this video was useful to you, and the camera has served you well.

  • that last part with the fire was obviously fake i give it 3 1/2 stars out of 5

  • @thesuppup1234 "obviously fake" eh? Well you're a bit of an ignoramus then, because it was 100% real. You can even see smoke curl off the camera once the flames stop.

    Why would I lie about this?

see all

  • It would be cool to see a video or time lapse of what it's like getting frozen or fired on lol. Awesome!

  • drop it on a train track see if it survives

    

  • 5:13 evil laugh lol =)

  • this is probably a dumb question but can you shoot videos underwater without ruining it?

  • this is my Favorited REVIEW EVER.

  • is it blend proof??

  • heh drop it from eureka sky deck. That would sure brake it.

  • Did anyone cringe whenever the camera was dropped and flat out destroyed, basically? Hahaha :D

  • @thesuppup1234 stupid
