30x optical zoom ZEISS lens, 60x Clear Image Digital ZoomGet super close and clear with the premium ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens from wide angle (24mm equivalent) to 30x optical zoom plus 60x Clear Image digital zoom. The ZEISS T* coating reduces undesirable reflection, such as ghosting and flare, on the lens surface, while 30x optical zoom allows you to get closer to your subject. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful BIONZ X processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos. |
Superb 18.2MP image qualityThe DSC- WX500 features an 18.2 megapixel backside illuminated Exmor R CMOS image sensor with a BIONZ X image processor. This brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s professional ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* Lens to deliver high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain for both stills and movie. |

With 50Mbps Full HD (1920x1080) 60p high quality video recording, XAVC S enables beautiful video recording with minimal compression noise even in scenes with a lot of movement. Linear PCM is adopted for audio compression delivering incredible audio to match your video. The camera also records in AVCHD, ideal for HDTV and Blu-ray Disc burning, or your choice of highly compressed MP4 HD video ideal for web. |
Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi (2) and NFC (3)Wi-Fi connectivity allows you to control your camera with your compatible Smartphone or Tablet. Frame your image on your device’s LCD and control the camera’s shutter. You can even transfer the images taken directly to your mobile device for quick editing and uploading - sharing has never been easier.

THE WONDERFUL SONY COMPANY
SINCERELY A SONY FAN FOREVER
BRIAN IN IOWA
The camera itself isn't as light as I thought it would be, but it's light enough that I wouldn't mind carrying it everywhere. It's also thicker than I expected, but I'll get used to it. For everything it has to offer, I don't find the thickness or the weight as a big problem.
I tried out the movie function, and it's nice. The camera can auto-focus pretty accurately and I love that it doesn't make any sound while focusing. The mic records pretty clearly too. I haven't recorded anything in a noisy environment yet, so I don't know how it'll be like in that situation.
You can turn the small wheel on the top through each mode (10 total), and it explains what each setting is for. For example, the "Superior Auto" says "The device beautifully shoots automatically while reducing blurring and noise." It's going to be fun playing with the camera, but even with the descriptions- I'm not really sure when to use to each of the mode. There's not much dramatic difference between each mode. I found the picture effects, under camera settings, to be really fun- especially the partial color effect. It comes out B&W, except the one color that you choose.
I was most excited about the screen that flips up. I was actually contemplating between the Sony WX500 and the Samsung NX Mini. I wanted the lenses to be built into the camera (not interchangeable), so I chose the WX500. I'm sure the NX Mini would've been lighter and slimmer, but I feel like the WX500 has more functions to play with. Anyways, the screen flips up well. It has just enough resistance that I can put it at any angle and it'll be stable. What I don't like is that I can't take a picture in selfie mode while looking at the screen because in the photo, it looks like I'm looking up at the sky. But even so, it's very convenient because I can finally position myself and anyone else in the photo. I thought about why there aren't any cameras with a screen that flips down because that would give the same feel as taking selfies on a smartphone. I guess it would look a little weird. I'd make one though, if I could.
The 30x zoom is NICE. I took a picture of my mom from really far away, and it looked like I took it right in front of her. I don't know how much I'll use the zoom, but the quality overall is really good.
If you're looking for a simple, light camera that has a screen that flips up- I think I would recommend the NX mini.
If you're looking for a camera that has a screen that flips up, but also many other functions PLUS 30x zoom- I would recommend the WX500.
Top reviews from other countries
I had a Nikon which I used 6 times and it suddenly would not work unless the usb AND power brick were attached (not plugged in wall just attached to camera), so picture that, your pretty Nikon with a short usb and power brick dangling from the side of it while you snap a pic. Ridiculous! the camera was barely used by only me. Nikon was no help and I refused to spend more money on it in repairs considering it was new! Also had issues with the battery draining fast while off, did the firmware update and still same issue. Wasted money on that brand.
I reviewed a lot of cameras in this price field and decided to go with this Sony, it's awesome, I love it!!!
