Cyber-shot is Sony's line of point-and-shoot digital cameras introduced in 1996. The Sony DSC-TX9 features a  Carl Zeiss lens. The build, quality, and glass quality of ZEISS lenses are exceptional, resulting in greater sharpness and less chromatic aberrations. In 1846, Carl Zeiss started building microscopes and opened a workshop for precision mechanics and optical instruments in Jena, Germany. After 125 years, his empire is still a leading force in the optics and optoelectronics industry.
