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

I don't know where to start this camera is so good. I bought it to replace my old Kodak point and shoot. I am neither a professional nor an enthusiastic amateur. I just want to be able to take good pictures quickly with as little thought as possible. This does that. Key features are TWO magic button modes - one is the straight forward point and shoot and the other does even more to prevent wobble or over-exposure. It does have a panoramic option and I have read the instructions and it seems easy to use but I haven't - yet. It also has other options - but again I haven't used those. In magic mode it recognised the type of shoot (night, portrait, scenic etc) very quickly and set appropriately. It was also very easy to switch from still to video - so much so I have taken a lot more video than usually. The battery life is excellent - it did 3 Florida theme parks plus lots of play back before needing a charge. However I had bought and charged a spare battery just in case. You can get bargains - I bought a Maxsimafoto one which was much cheaper than Sony (off Amazon) and just as good. I did use a very good quality SD card as this camera takes HD video. I bought a Memzi Ultima Pro SDHC card (off Amazon) which are recommended for these cameras. It did work very well but of course I can't tell you how another would have done. I have reviewed and downloaded my pictures and videos and they are excellent quality - even the sound. At a recent car show my son (aged 10) also used this and found it really easy and took some great photos. I have also used the wifi connection which is really useful but as I take a lot of photos I tend to take the card out and insert into my printer for transfer. This camera is light but feels well made. The controls are not too fiddly to work with long nails. It sits in the hand comfortably ready to use but is not so small you feel you have a toy. My only issue is the review and playback and I'm certain that's user error! It does have a lot of options on review which makes it harder to just look at the picture and then those before.

Not a bad compact camera. Nice and small, fits in pocket or mini rucksack. Photos are at their best if taken in very good lighting conditions. Has lists of settings, I prefer standard auto mode (program auto) . Has a handy scene selection. The zoom function is amazing for such a tiny camera . ISO is a bit iffy in auto mode, manual ISO is similar. Auto tends to take photos at 80 ISO , although does occasionally select another ISO sometimes not appropriate for the lighting conditions . I've taken manual ISO shots (experimented to help form a baseline USO- test the cameras capabilities) of the same scene , ISO ranging from 80-3200, pics taken don't look remarkably different from each other ? Obviously I'm no expert .Generally the pictures are pretty good , pictures of animals and birds are great, even on zoom. Struggles taking pictures of woodland scenes , details look smudgey and a bit abstract ( my mobile phone outclasses it in this area). Colour accuracy is a bit off , although pleasant. WiFi was initially a bit of a struggle to set up for transfer to my phone . However, after a bit of tinkering transfer works like a dream now . Good for somebody showing an interest in photography, performs well under right lighting conditions and right subject matter - point of interest (s) plus zoom is pretty nifty, producing good results. After getting used to the camera, familiarised myself with the functions, I've discovered it to be a splendid little camera ! For the price, I strongly recommend it .

First, a bit of context. I am a Sony loyalist when it comes to point and shoots. My previous camera was the W530 14.1 MP Cybershot with a Carl Zeiss lense, and for the price I got it for, nothing came near it. My only reason for replacing it was that over the course of a few years the software on it had become glitchy, so it kept uncontrollably switching between focus modes. The photographs it could produce, especially in good light, were sensational for a camera of its time and class. So my next point and shoot had quite a job on its hands. The WX350 was acquired in the Black Friday deals, having already been cheaper than my old camera so that was a good start. It is quite fast on start up but not the quickest, taking around 2 seconds to get from off to photo-ready. The wheel for the shooting modes is nice and intuitive, and doesn't easily rotate on its own in the pocket. If you rotate it once the camera is active, you will be taken to a menu to fine tune your options. The menus are easy to navigate and comprehensive. The optical zoom is the most powerful I have come across for this camera type, and the resolution of daytime / well-lit images is superb. The biggest improvement on my old camera is the video mode; the HD resolution is a big step up, as is the sound capture. Other nice modes include handheld twighlight for shooting dim scenes without a tripod - it won't produce the highest quality images for print and display but it will capture memories and moments nicely and easily, and will be detected for use in the generally decent intelligent auto modes. Like all point and shoots, it isn't all plain sailing. The camera I have now is a replacement - the first one suffered after a few months of use probably as a result of me trying to do rapid snaps; turning the camera on and off too often too quickly. My advice would be to let the photo load after snapping and disappear before turning the camera off. The replacement has had no issues, and was organised efficiently by Amazon. The camera suffers from that old Sony fault of defaulting to macro in the auto mode for no apparent reason on rare occasions; this is corrected by aiming at backlighting, not difficult to address by not ideal. The back screen needs to be viewed from more or less dead on to get a good handle on the image captured - for me this is a very minor gripe. Far more problematic is the lack of shutter speed control; the camera does all the work. The camera generally does a good job but there are times when it would be handy to experiment. The truth is that no point and shoot is perfect. This camera however is very good for its class, and superb value at the price. I would not hesitate to buy it, and am happy to recommend it.

Absolutely stunning. Lightweight, small, but with fantastic optics and nicely engineered - a quality product. I'm a point-and-shoot kind of photographer, but there is no doubt that the camera takes fabulous pictures in a wide variety of conditions. Day time shots are bright and vibrant. Night time shots without flash can be a bit noisy (speckly) but this isn't an issue in anything but the dimmest of conditions. With a flash, there's no red-eye, and the camera does a great job in most flash photo situations, although the pictures can be slightly washed out sometimes - something I think I will get better at avoiding as I get more familiar with the camera. Focusing is quick, and the camera is responsive - no problems rattling off a series of photos one after the other. The screen on the back of the camera is excellent - not had any issues seeing it in direct sunlight, which was a concern - and the controls are easy to get the hang of. The built in wi-fi is a bit of fiddle, requiring Sony's proprietary software to make the connection - in the end I couldn't be bothered with it and simply slot the SD card into my laptop to copy pictures off. Charging is via USB, so there's no additional wires or adapters needed when travelling which is a real win. After years of putting up with poor quality phone camera pictures, it's great to be able to take really high quality photos with a camera that is of comparable size and perhaps lighter than a phone.

I looked at loads of different cameras and reviews before making this purchase. The camera has loads of settings so you can get good quality pictures by playing around with them, it's the only one in its price range that has an whopping ISO of up to 12800 which is useful for low-light situations. You need to download and install the PlayMemories program from Sony onto your laptop or smartphone to use the wireless network connectivity feature which saves so much time when transferring pictures and videos. The video camera is of excellent quality and perfect for Vlogging but can only record for a maximum of 30 minutes due to EU regulations (otherwise it is technically a camcorder). The zoom is super powerful and goes up to 80x, I managed to get pictures of distant stars using the right aperture settings. Many people complained that the camera is too bright, but that can be adjusted easily using the settings! The battery lasted a very long time. It comes with no sdcard or instructions. The best point and shoot cameras on the market are Sony or Canon hands down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPNYcRbo9Ik

I purchased this to replace a 9 year old Fuji S5700 after spending many hours looking at specs, reviews and looking on camera comparison websites. This had no impact on my choice, however it's an extremely small camera and looks very nice. First impression after taking a number of pictures were disappointing. I think that I've gotten used to seeing pictures on websites that are taken by professionals with very expensive equipment and without considering this was expecting to be able to take the same high quality photos. This is not the case, certainly not on the auto settings at least. Don't get me wrong, the difference between the photos that this camera takes and my old camera are immense and it's clearly a much more modern camera. Taking a picture and then viewing it full screen on my desktop pc is very disappointing. Nothing seems very sharp and towards the edges it loses focus. If you then view them at the kind of size you look at them on webpages, for example 854x480 then they look much better. By default the camera is set up to take pictures in 4:3 format which seems a bit dated now. I've changed this to 16:9. The zoom is very good, colour rendition is pretty spot on compared to how I see things with my own eyes and the camera itself responds very quickly which is handy when you want to quickly grab it and take a picture before the subject moves. The camera automatically recognises if it needs to be in macro mode which is handy. My old camera had a dedicated macro button. One of the best features in my opinion is being able to transfer the pictures to my pc via wifi and it does this VERY quickly. The camera comes with a flimsy sheet of paper claiming to be the manual but it's more of a quick start guide. You can find the detailed manual here:[...] I purchased a SanDisk Ultra 32 GB SDHC Memory Card up to 80 MB/s, Class 10 FFP [Newest Version] with mine and have had no issues with it. The camera came partially charged, I plugged it in without turning it on and it was fully charged within the hour. The top of the camera has a charging indicator light. It comes with a USB to mains charger and the battery is removable. Overall I'm happy now that I'm over my initial disappointment. One thing to watch out for is how you hold the camera so as to not cover the flash!

Clever little camera to have in your pocket. Size is the key issue here. I find that nowadays I don't tend to carry my SLR as often as I used to, as the novelty has worn off after 5 years and it seems too much of a chore!! Part of this is because the increasing reliance on my phone's camera, which is awesome. However, there are times when lighting and distance really test the limitations of a phone camera. This camera sits very firmly and comfortably in the gap between the two (well! probably until the iPhone 7 camera is unveiled!! also made by SONY [so I'm told]) Probably take me a while to learn all the functions but so far I am very impressed with the results and happy to carry it with me at all times. The battery is fantastic and the images are great. Well worth the money.

The pictures the camera takes are fabulous, but the wireless picture sharing between devices just doesn't work, despite hours of trying to get it to hook up to my ipad. If this feature is important to you, don't get this camera. If you're happy waiting until you can connect your camera to a computer with a wire it's a fabulous camera.

La sto rendendo perché ha smesso di funzionare. L:ho acquistata usata come nuova. Però fa delle foto molto belle in automatico. Inoltre anche le foto interne senza flash vengono bene se selezionate l'apposita scena. In questo caso la fotocamera "ferma" la vostra mano, poiché la fotocamera apre per circa 1 secondo il diaframma. Bella la luna fotografata con lo zoom. Una volta ottenuto il rimborso ricompero la stessa oppure quella con zoom maggiore. Consiglio l'acquisto. Ottimo come sempre il servizio Amazon.

Lo mejor, el wifi. Quizás un poco lenta en procesar las fotos, y muy pocas opciones manuales. Pero hace fotos de muy buena calidad, y con un gran zoom. Tiene una pega, el flash está en el lado del disparador, y si no te das cuenta lo tapas con la mano... las fotos de noche regular.

Appareil très simple d'utilisation, une super qualité de photos, je recommande

alles Gut

Considerato il prezzo pagato (meno di 80 € usato ottime condizioni) è un buon acquisto. Resta però una compatta senza troppe pretese con una buona qualità foto e video
