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
