hello I'm the Westway the cnet here at CES 2013 we're taking a look at a new tiny camera from Sony this is the cyber-shot WX 80 so this is pretty standard stuff as far as digital compact cameras go there's a 16 point 2 megapixel sensor inside this little device and an eight times optical zoom there is a bit more zoom you can squeeze out but it's digital so you will lose picture quality it has 1080p video recording but a really nice feature about this camera is that it's got Wi-Fi sharing now this is the first time Sony's put its Wi-Fi sharing technology in a camera this small and it's a particularly good idea on their behalf because if you're thinking of buying a small camera like this you might be wondering why don't I just use my smartphone so the idea is that you take a picture with this the camera creates us a Wi-Fi hotspot you connect it to your phone using an app which is available for iOS and Android and then you can transfer your pictures across it sounds like a great idea in a good way of easily transferring your photos unfortunately there's no Windows Phone app on the horizon so if you're using a phone running Microsoft's operating system you're out of luck for now it's coming out very soon in January and it's going to cost 199 dollars which isn't too bad for a camera this tiny wait for the full review though where we'll be testing image quality and all the other features on the west wave cnet CES 2013 and this is the sony cybershot WX 80
