Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-WX50 (Black)

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

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,...

This camera rocks!!!

I've had some pretty terrible cameras in the past, and this one exceeds my expectations especially for the price I paid on newegg!

Full HD Video - This looks AMAZING!!! I've used it several times now just with my family ; Sweep Panorama - I've yet to try this, but this is great for large family pictures ; This camera is great at focusing! I think I've taken one blurry picture out...

None. I can't complain about the battery if I'm taking an HD video, it's pretty obvious that'll suck the life out

Wonderful Camera

It is a great camera for casual photoing. The compact size makes it so easy to carry, but also makes it less comfortable to control (can slip off your hands easy).

Good for quick quality video clips

I almost returned the camera because I have a Mac and it was difficult to find information on how to load and watch video, it doesn't work with iPhoto. The manual was no help and actually sent you to a japanese web site for more info. I spent a lot of...
