Seamless Wi-Fi and remote viewfinder capabilities. Bright, high-resolution screen. Built-in GPS. Excellent video quality
No RAW capture. Noise issues at ISO levels over 400
The HX50V stuffs a lot of zoom in your top pocket, sporting added bonuses like Wi-Fi and GPS. It comes recommended, though pixel peepers may be deterred....
Abstract: It’s been a while since I have had an opportunity to look at one of the excellent Cyber Shot range; in fact from memory the last Sony offering I told you about was the NEX6L almost a year ago. Here a fixed lens offering to fit into your pocket....
