Sony shoots for enthusiasts with HX50V travel zoom
2013-06-06
hey there I'm Josh Goldman and this is
the smallest lightest compact camera
with a 30x zoom it's the sony cybershot
DSC HX 50 v while i wouldn't go so far
as to say it's easily pocketable
considering other 30x zoom cameras look
more like SLRs I'm not complaining the
lens goes from a wide 24 millimeters to
720 millimeters which isn't always the
easiest to keep steady but Sony's image
stabilization does well
however the lens's aperture range is
from f-35 to f6 3 meaning you'll need a
fair amount of light when using the zoom
lens to avoid using high ISO settings
the camera is more than its lens though
sony includes a lot of shooting options
including full manual and semi manual
modes 1080p movie capture at 60 frames
per second and a lot of effects and
filters and other things to experiment
with that includes a new exposure
compensation dial and should you want to
spend more money a multi interface shoe
that can take an add-on flash or an
electronic viewfinder though that will
run as much as the camera photo quality
and shooting performance are both pretty
solid though depending on the mode
you're using some photos take longer to
process than others
add in its built-in GPS and Wi-Fi that
you can use to send photos and videos to
computer smartphones or tablets or
actually used to control the camera and
you've got an excellent travel zoom for
just about any level of photographer
I'm Josh Goldman and that's the sony
cybershot DSC HX 50 v
