Sony DSCWX350 Digital Compact Camera with Wi-Fi and NFC (18.2 MP, 20x Optical Zoom) - Black

Product Information

Speed - We took a number of shots to test the camera's responsiveness, from switch on to first photo, shot to shot, focusing speed etc.

The 25-500mm range isn’t huge by todays standards, but a bigger zoom will inevitably involve a compromise in size. Both the exposure metering and white balance system also do an admirable job, never falling foul of tricky mixed lighting conditions and providing correctly exposed images, even without any multi-exposure trickery.But the camera shall please come with manual control, including RAW image format, so I can REALLY play around in post-processing. With Sony WX350, you can record your videos at a highest resolution of 1920 x 1080 at 60p fps and save in and AVCHD formats. The WX350 also offers Sony’s Auto Object Framing feature, which makes a duplicate image that’s cropped and effectively recomposed. Thanks to the built-in wireless (Wi-Fi) connectivity feature, Sony WX350 lets you transfer your photos directly to compatible devices without any physical connection. I cannot transfer videos to my smartphone through the Imaging Edge Mobile (PlayMemories Mobile successor) app.

Your Sony Cybershot DSC-WX350 Digital Camera is compatible with 16GB, 32GB, 64GB and 128GB SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards. If you’d prefer to ditch all this artificial intelligence in favour of some good old manual control, there’s also a Program Auto mode that enables you to change settings like white balance and ISO sensitivity, however there’s no scope to adjust aperture or shutter speed yourself. Noise reduction has glossed over the fine hair texture but there’s still plenty of definition in this telephoto shot – 1/250s, f/6. This gets Sony’s Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation system to compensate for camera shake in low light or when zooming in to the max.We found that if the pictures have any noise in at all, you're going to increase the appearance of it by adding any sharpening in post production.

I find especially the latter feature actually nice: If you want to get most of the picture in post-processing, you have a way to check that there's no over- or under-saturated parts (and if there is, shoot the scene again with different settings). Whether or not the fresh processing power has boosted image quality is harder to quantify, especially as the DSC-WX300 was pretty handy in this department.

Thus, taking a picture in a dimly-ligt bar scene while still recognizing the people - that would be too much of a far stretch.

The Sony's 13 Photo Creativity filters will be familiar with regular users of Instagram or Flickr, as they include things like High Contrast Monochrome, Retro Photo and Illustration – great if you like to play with the look of your photos. To the right of it is the shutter release which looks massive, but at least there’s no missing it, then to the right of that a mode dial with the two auto positions, Program Auto, SCN, movie and iSweep panorama.
