30x zoom lens: decent quality maintained over the whole focal range, 20Megapixel sensor used intelligently and masterfully, WiFi and GPS, Good build quality, Handy help function, Good general responsiveness (for a superzoom), Impressive "Super Resolution"
No RAW mode, No touchscreen, Poorquality USB port cover, Battery life could be better
For a compact that packs 20 million pixels onto a small-format sensor and sports a 30x optical zoom lens in a compact casing, the Sony Cyber-shot HX50V masters its technology very well, both in terms of optics and electronics. Performances are impressive,...
Abstract: As well as making the Sony HX50 smaller than its predecessor, the Sony HX20V , the manufacturer has used some of its RX technology to enhance the new model and squeezed in a 30x optical zoom lens. The Sony G lens has an equivalent focal length of 24-720mm...

Massive zoom in relatively small body, Decent optical image stabilisation, Hotshoe means accessories can be added, Wi-Fi implementation fairly faff-free, Great battery life
Image quality is trying to do too much - even low ISO shots suffer from excessive processing artefacts, No raw capture, A little chunky, No touchscreen, Where's NFC
The HX50 has a packed-out specification will undoubtedly attract plenty of potential purchasers. But does it deliver in every department? Not quite. For all its strengths - and there are plenty to name - the HX50 feels a little on the fence, sandwiched be...
Abstract: Sony 's long-lensed HX50 calls Fuji's stylish X20 a fop. Fight!The X20 is wonderfully retro in both look and feel. The optical viewfinder is synced to the 4x zoom and helpfully displays shooting data, but note that the lens barrel is visible in wide-angle...
Abstract: The best all-round compact camera money can buy, superb in any situationSony ‘s DSC-HX50 is the camera we're currently recommending to anyone that asks us which compact camera they should buy. Sure, that conversation often gets deeper and we might end up ...
30x optical zoom, Has multiinterface shoe mount, Good image stabilization
A bit on the chunky side, Very basic WiFi features, Rear display is not touch sensitive, Display washes out under bright sunlight, more so than other competing models, Expensive
The Sony HX50V is definitely one of the better travel compacts, with a 30x optical zoom housed inside a relatively compact body. Its image stabilization is also top-notch, with the hot shoe mount providing more options to users (though we feel it's still...

If you buy it for the Wi-Fi features you'll be disappointed. Otherwise, the HX50 will fill your life with beautiful pictures and video. Sure, it takes up a bit more pocket space than you'd like, but it's a small price to pay for such a brilliant all-round...

Not all superzooms are created equally, some may offer longer zoom ranges but are impossible to shoot handheld at the longest end. So it is definitely a credit to Sony that we were able to get reasonably good handheld shots with the HX50V at the 30x zoom...
