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

Product Information

The specs for the WX300 and the WX350 are near identical, as they both have a 3-inch 460K-dot-resolution LCD screen, a 24-1200mm (equivalent) Sony G Lens with 20x optical zoom (increasing to 40x digital zoom using Sony's Clear Image Zoom technology) and an 18 million pixel sensor. The images shown here look quite good to me, compared to those for other cameras that I have seen reviewed recently. If Landscape We strongly recommend you to check our Top Compact Cameras for Landscape Photography list and consider these alternatives over theWX350. On the other hand, for point-and-shoot users the WX350 is more accessible and the on-screen help is, well, helpful – it’s more comprehensive than the hints and tips provided on the PowerShot SX600 HS.

Full HD 1080 Video Capture The DSC-WX350 can capture Full HD 1080 AVCHD videos at 60 and 30 frames per second, providing for fast motion video with less distortion when playing back on your HDTV.I’ve included them both just to illustrate that shooting at slow shutter speeds is always a little uncertain, even with stabilization and often you need to make several attempts just to get one that’s sharp. However, the going rate for the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX350 still makes it great value given its impressive performance, image quality and versatility. But it’s still more difficult than it should be to, for example, set exposure compensation in Program Auto mode, especially when there’s a redundant bottom position on the control wheel.

Sample Photos - Exposure is reliable with the camera producing images with bright saturated colours. The Sony WX350 has built-in Wi-fi as well as NFC for fast and painless Wifi connection using a suitably equipped Android phone.The WX350 has a choice of AVCHD or MP4 encoding that’s fairly consistent across the upper end of the Cyber-Shot range.

Strangely there’s barely any difference in file size regardless of which setting you choose, indicating a possible firmware bug. Small cameras are often fiddly to operate, I never found that a problem with the WX350, but it might be an issue if you’ve got big hands. Sure, this alone is unlikely to get your juices flowing, but it’s a feature that’s fast vanishing from this type of camera, yet there’s still no substitute for the convenience of a dedicated dial.

The Wifi features are aren’t as sophisticated as some – for example there’s no direct connection to sharing sites as on the PowerShot SX600 HS, and it’s a little disappointing that you can’t use your phone’s GPS to tag images with location data – another featured offered by the PowerShot SX600 HS. If Sports We strongly recommend you to check our Top Compact Cameras for Sports Photography list and consider these alternatives over theWX350. The 25-500mm range isn’t huge by todays standards, but a bigger zoom will inevitably involve a compromise in size. If you don’t need such as fast burst, there’s a slower 2fps mode, although it took just as long to save all its shots.
