Video reviews

The compact camera from Sony, along with its older brother in the face of the Sony DSC-HX90V, are the lightest (about 235 g) and miniature ultrazooms on the market.

Matrix

The Sony DSC-WX500 differs from its older comrade only in the absence of a viewfinder and a GPS module. Otherwise, their filling is identical — it is represented by a 1/2.3-inch sensor with an effective resolution of 18.2 MP and backlight. The matrix produces a high-quality and sharp picture. But this is not only her merit — in the process of building an image, a large role is assigned to complete optics.

Optics

The ultrazoom is equipped with a Zeiss lens with a focal length range of 24-720mm (35mm equivalent) and aperture of f/3.5-6.4. Optics from the German brand has always been famous for its highest quality. Here, too, it will not let you down, although it has a low floating aperture. To compensate for the lack of aperture, a wide ISO range (from 80 to 12800 units), as well as a 5-axis stabilization system, are called upon. The latter works especially well in tandem with video — an active stub allows you to shoot smooth videos in motion or while zooming.

excerpts

On a single battery charge, the camera is capable of shooting approximately 350 shots. The value of the longest shutter speed is 30 s, and I would like to see a short one more than 1/2000 s — in bright light, in some cases, the picture may turn out to be overexposed.

Display

The camera has not been spared by the global selfie pandemic — its screen leans back to the “on itself” position, from which it is convenient to take self-portraits. The display is touch-sensitive and has a diagonal of 3". Also on board are wireless Wi-Fi and NFC modules, which greatly simplify the transfer of footage immediately to a smartphone or tablet for further sharing in social networks.
