Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX50 review

 

These days, there's not a lot of love for small point-and-shoots that don't have long zoom lenses or big image sensors. That's understandable since a 5x zoom such as the one on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX50 doesn't provide that much more range than a...

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX50 offers excellent features for automatic snapshots and speedy shooting performance, and nice photo and video quality for its class.

The WX50's controls might be too small for some users and its photos aren't sharp enough for pixel peepers.

The tiny Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX50 is a lot of camera for the money, with solid shooting performance, and good photo and movie quality.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-WX50 ( Black)

 

However, in picture and video quality it's still better than a smartphone because of things like a bright f2.6 25mm wide-angle lens with optical image stabilization and Sony's Exmor R BSI (backside-illuminated) CMOS sensor and Bionz image processor. It...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX50

 

The miniscule WX50 and WX70 pack a lot of features into such a tiny package. Both models come with a top-of-the-line backside-illuminated 16 megapixel CMOS sensor, which promises very good low-light image quality and fast operation. When we say fast,...

Sony DSC-WX50

 

Automatic stitching of sweep panoramas Light weight Compact size In camera charging of battery

Unnecessary zoom lens and unnecessary noise reduction. I would prefer a fixed focal length wide angle lens of higher quality, or a modest zoom (of x3 perhaps) that allows lens quality to be better. I would prefer some image noise at higher ISO rather...
