Snap pin-sharp, 18.2MP photos from afar with the 20x zoom camera that fits in your pocket. There’s also ultra-smooth recording that minimizes shake while shooting on the move, perfect for video lovers. Like taking shots in near darkness but hate disturbing the mood with a flash? The Exmor RCMOS image sensor harnesses lots of light to make candlelit moments really shine.20x Optical/40x Clear Image Zoom G LensGet amazingly close with 20x optical zoom plus 40x Clear Image digital zoom. Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.Shoot incredibly smooth video1 and stillsShoot incredibly smooth video1 and still images with the new BIONZ X processor and Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization with Intelligent Active mode. When the processor and image stabilization technology work together they deliver sharp image quality with low noise and minimal blur even while the user is strolling and the camera is zoomed in.20.4 MP Exmorr R CMOS Sensor for superb low light imagesThis camera features a 20.4 megapixel Exmor R CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s professional G Lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, the combined Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor delivers extremely fast up to 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080p movie modesKeep your subject in focus with Lock-On AFLock-On AF gives you the ability to focus on multiple points with subject recognition to keep your subject in sharp focus even when in motion.Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi or NFC3Connectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplified with Wi-Fi/NFC3 control. In addition to Wi-Fi support for connecting to smartphones, the camera also supports NFC (near field communication) providing “one touch connection” convenience when transferring images to Android smartphones and tablets. Users need only touch devices to connect; no complex set-up is required. Moreover, when using Smart Remote Control — a feature that allows shutter release to be controlled by a smartphone — connection to the smartphone can be established by simply touching compatible devices.Motion-Shot Video traces subject movementMotion-Shot Video traces subject movement on the camera’s LCD for a unique visual effect. Use this playback function on the camera to study form and pathways of subjects.4K quality still image output via HDMI2Enjoy the beauty of 4K quality still image (4x the resolution of Full HD) via simple HDMI connection to compatible 4K TVs2. The camera can also be connected via HDMI to HDTVs for full HD 1080p resolution images.Sweep Panorama mode (up to 360°)Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with Sweep Panorama mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and up to 360° full circle, the camera can take a variety of panoramic shots. Now capturing wide landscapes is as easy as press and sweep.Picture Effect for more expressive photosPicture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Select camera models have up to nine different effects.Product SpecificationsCamera Type:Compact zoom digital cameraImaging Sensor:1/2.3" (7.82mm) Exmor R CMOS sensorProcessor:Bionz XPixel Gross:21.1 MPEffective Picture Resolution:18.2 MPColor Filter System:RGB primary color filtersMedia Type:optional “Memory Stick Duo” (No movie recording), optional “Memory Stick PRO Duo” (Mark 2 only for movie recording), optional “Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo”, optional SD Memory Card (Class 4 or higher), optional SDHC Memory Card (Class 4 or higher)Color Space:sRGBStill Image Max Effective Resolution:Approx. 18.2 MegapixelsStill Image Size 16:9:16:9mode:13M(4,896×2,752) / 7.5M(3,648×2,056) / 2.1M(1,920×1,080)Still Image Size 3:2:3:2mode:16M(4,896×3,264) / 8.9M(3,648×2,432) / 4.5M(2,592×1,728)Still Image Size 4:3:4:3mode:18M(4,896×3,672) / 10M(3,648×2,736) / 5M(2,592×1,944)Panorama Still Image Size:Sweep Panorama:Wide(7,152×1,080/4,912×1,920),Standard(4,912×1 ,080/3,424×1,920),360(11,520×1,080)Video Format:AVCHD Ver2.0 / MP4Video Mode:AVCHD: 28M PS(1,920x1,080/60p) / 24M FX(1,920x1,080/60i) / 17M FH(1,920x1,080/60i),MP4: 12M(1,440x1,080/30fps) / 3M VGA(640x480/30fps)Audio Format:MP4:MPEG-4 AAC-LC 2chMicrophone/Speaker:Stereo / MonoStill Image File Format:JPEGWind Noise Reduction:Off / OnLens Type:Sony G LensAperture:f 3.5-6.5Optical Zoom:20xFocal Length (35mm equivalent):Still 1:1: 28.5-1425mm / Still 3.2: 25-1250mm / Still 4:3: 24-1200mm / Movie 4.3: 32.5-1625mm / Still 16:9: 26-1300mm / Movie 16:9: 26-1300mmLens Construction:11elements in 10 groups(including 5 aspheric elements)Minimum Focus Distance:iAuto: AF (W: Approx. 5cm (0.16 ft.) to Infinity, T: Approx. 200cm (6.56 ft.) to Infinity) / Program Auto: AF (W: Approx. 5cm (0.16 ft.) to Infinity, T: Approx. 200cm (6.56 ft.) to Infinity)Clear Image Zoom:40xSteady Shot Mode:Active:YesLCD Type:3.0'' ClearPhoto LCD (460K dots)Brightness Control:5 (Bright) / 4 / 3 / 2 / 1 (Dark)Histogram:Yes (On/Off)Grid Display:YesAF Modes:Multi Point AF/Center Weighted AF/SpotAF/Tracking Focus/Face Tracking FocusAF Illuminator:Auto / OffMetering Modes:Multi Pattern / Center Weighted / SpotMetering Sensitivity:EV 2 to 16 (at ISO100 equivalent)Exposure Compensation:Plus / Minus 2.0EV, 1 / 3EV stepScene Mode(s):High Sensitivity / Soft snap / Soft Skin / Landscape / Night Portrait / Night Scene / Handheld Twilight / Gourmet / Beach / Snow / Fireworks / Pet mode /Anti-motion blur/Backlight Correction HDRISO:Auto / 80 / 100 / 200 / 400 / 800 / 1600 / 3200 / 6400 / 12800Noise Reduction:Long exposure NR, Multi Frame NR:Auto, ISO100-12800White Balance Mode:Auto / Daylight / Cloudy / Fluorescent 1 (White Fluorescent Lighting) / Fluorescent 2 (Natural White Fluorescent Lighting) / Fluorescent 3 (Day White Fluorescent Lighting) / Incandescent / Flash / One Push, One Push SetMinimum Illumination:Auto:20lux(Shutter Speed 1/30) / High Sensitivity:10lux(Shutter Speed 1/30)ISO Sensitivity (Movie):ISO80-3200(iAuto), ISO80-3200(Superior Auto), ISO80-1600(Program Auto)Drive Mode:Single / Continuous shooting / Self- timer / Self-portraitSelf-timer:Off / 10sec. / 2sec. / portrait1 / portrait2Shutter Speeds:iAuto (4" - 1/1600) / Program Auto (1" - 1/1600)Burst Mode:Approx 10 fps at 18.2MP (Maximum 10 shots)Flash Modes:Auto / Flash On / Slow Synchro / Flash Off / Advanced FlashFlash Coverage:ISO Auto: Approx. 0.2m to 4.3m (7 7/8 inches to 14 feet 1 3/8 inches)(W) / Approx. 2.0m to 2.4 m (6 feet 6 3/4 inches to 7 feet 10 1/2 inches)(T), ISO3200: up to Approx. 6.1 m (20 feet 1/4 inches)(W) / Approx. 3.4 m (11 feet 1 7/8 inches)(T)Self Timer:Off / 10sec. / 2sec. / portrait1 / portrait2Red-Eye Reduction:On / OffErase/Protect:Erase: Single / Select / Date / Folder / AVCHD Protect: Single / Select / Date / Folder / AVCHDPower Save Mode:1min / 2min / 5min / 30minPicture Effects:13 effectsAnti Motion Blur:YesSweep Panorama:Intelligent Sweep Panorama (360)Face Detection:8 facesSmile Shutter technology:YesImage Stabilization:Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization with Intelligent Active modeIntelligent Auto:YesWi-Fi:YesBackground Defocus:YesSuperior Auto:YesTracking Focus:Off / AutoBlink Detection:YesPhoto Creativity:YesMemory Card Slot:MS Duo and SD/SDHC compatibleNFC:NFC forum Type 3 Tag compatible, One-touch remote, One-touch sharingWi-Fi:YesHD Output:Micro HDMIUSB Port(s):Multi (AV/USB), Hi-Speed USB (USB2.0)Tripod Mount:YesDimensions (Approx.):W x H x D:3 7/8" x 2 1/4" x 1 1/16" (96.0 x 54.9 x 25.7mm)Weight(Approx) (Main unit only):3.7 oz.

  • The Best Performance You can get in a Small Package!
Color: Black
I bought this camera to replace a similar older Sony that has a 5X optical zoom. The 20X capability on this camera is a very nice improvement. It will really come in handy on a trip to Alaska later this month! Sony suggesst that you use their "Play Memories Home" program to interface with the camera. I keep coming back to Picasa a I like it a little better. The clarity of the lenis is quite good. It's quite good even with hand held pictures at 20X power. Normally I use the intelligent auto setting, which works really well for most all my pictures, It's a great setting! I had the panorama on my old camera and made sure it came on the WX350, as I use it fairly often. The video function seems to be improved and for my purposes the Mpeg- 4 works fine. Sony could simplify their video instructions but but it all "works". There are a couple of cons; The flash is overpowered at short range and there doesn't seem to be a way to adjust it on the camera. (There are probably other ways to achieve a reduction) On the extreme wide angle settings the flash "cuts-off" a little on the corner of the picture, but this is pretty easy to "adjust" out of. The sensitivity of the camera is very good and I find myself using natural lighting more and more. The flash does do a good job, except as mentioned, and it has an excellent range. I have not had very good success on transferring pictures to my laptop using a wireless connection. (I think my wireless connection may be too remote.) At any rate, it seems easier to just take the card out of the camera and put it into the computer. So far I have not tried to transfer anything to smart phone. Battery life seems to be very good! I did buy a charger and two spare batteries on Amazon for a very reasonable cost. The biggest selling feature for me was the 20X zoom in a camera so small I can put it in my shirt pocket. (I have a small case that clips on my belt which I use most of the time.) The WX350 comes with a wrist strap that has "saved" my camera(s) more than once! There is also a USB cable to connect the camera to a computer.The manual the comes with the camera is pretty abbreviated. It would be a good Idea to download the large manual that is available at Sony. Soooo...unless you want to carry around a heavy camera and a few extra lenses, you will really enjoy the size and performance of this camera! ... show more

  • great camera:update april 2015/April 2016/ June 2016 well maybe not so great.
Color: Black
UPDATE June 11, 2016 I Have been extra careful with this camera. AS you see below the lenses are cheap plastic and scratch VERY easily. I just noticed I have a scratch on one of the NEW lenses. I love the camera but hate the lenses. I do not know what I ma going to do but until they improve the quality of the lenses think twice before you buy. April 2016 UPDATE. Still love the cameras BUT this is my second one. As you can read below I had issues with the first on. Turns out the lens is made of plastic so it scratches really easy. I was very careful but still camera #1 would up with two "spots" on the lens. I purchase camera #2 because I really do like them and with in a few months it had 2 "spots" on the lens. Now I had 2 expensive camera that had bad lens. I have a friend that is good a fixing things so he ordered two replacement lens at $50.00 each from EBay and fix both cameras for $20.00 so I have two working cameras for $120.00. I am being REALLY careful with them and we will see how long the lens last this time. But the cameras are great (except for the plastic easily damage lens) and I am glad I now have a back up just in case. below is photo showing the two "spots" in the second cameras photos before we changed lens. Second is after new lens (although you cannot tell if it is fixed because the background is dark) 3rd photo is zoomed, great photos for standing taking photos from almost 1/4 mile away. The photos this camera takes are beautiful. I really like the camera and it takes great photos even when I am using the 20X zoom. The only down part is it has a flimsy cover (much like the old cell phones) to protect the port fro the USB cord. I can see where this will not last long. It is suppose to be wireless so I need to Call Sony as the emails and product manual are not helping. Will give further feed back when I get it hooked up wirelessly April 2, 2015 6 months later. The camera was great to begin with but then about 2 months ago photos began to blur. No about 3 out of 7 photos are blurry no matter what I do. Then the shutter that covers the lens when you shut off camera quit opening up all the way. So now I have to check my camera each time to make sure the shutter is completely open or I wind up with these funky looking photo. I am really disappointed because I like the camera and the 20 X zoom was great. April 18, 2015 Maybe I was a bit hasty with complaint. I finally went online to see why the lens shutter/cover was not opening completely. One suggestion was sand or dust had gotten under it and to use the vacuum on it to suck out sand or dust!! Well I was at the end of my rope so I figured why not? Turn camera on, extend lens, place upside down and apply vacuum hose to it. IT WORKED!!!! now my photos are not blurring so I am guessing I was so frustrated with the shutter not opening all the way I was not as careful as I should have been when taking photos. ... show more

  • Very nice compact camera
Color: Black
I purchased this camera as a supplemental to my Olympus DSLR. I love the DSLR but it's just too bulky when I just want to snap pictures during vacation and I need something small and un-obtrusive. This camera fits the bill perfectly for those times. Start-up time, focusing time and overall operation is really quick for a compact camera. The build quality seems to be really good. I've been using it for a couple weeks now and have taken well over 1000 pictures and I'm very pleased with performance and picture quality. If you just need a camera to take good quality pics for saving on your computer or posting online or emailing to others this camera will suit you nicely. I've taken pictures in full sunlight and dead of night with just lighting from store fronts and the moon. The quality of the pics during day time are more than I expected and the quality of the pics at night is quite good as well. I've also used it to take pics of fast moving objects (cars and motorcycles) and they were captured nicely without blur. I do have a few complaints about the camera that most people won't care about. - There's no aperture or shutter priority mode. Aperture priority mode would be really nice for portraits. - There is no flash compensation mode. The flash can be overwhelming and wash out the subject if you're too close. - Exposure compensation mode is not easy to get to. - No raw mode. As mentioned there are very few times when most people would ever use these options on this type of camera, but they would make the camera more attractive for budding professionals or advanced amateurs. I personally can't see where I'd ever need a zoom more than the 20x this camera offers. The newest compacts coming out with 30x zoom would be of no use to me. I think the 30x zoom is just a marketing thing and most people would never need something that zooms that close. If it's more than 20x away you might better walk a little closer to your subject. But I will say even when zoomed in at 20x the image quality was great. The anti-shake works excellent on this camera. The battery life seems to be quite good. I think I've gotten somewhere around 400 pictures on a single charge. I haven't taken any movies with it so I can't comment on the quality of the movies. I also had no problems connecting it to my home access point and transferring pictures to my computer via wireless network. All in all it's a great camera for those that want something compact to hold in a pocket or small case when not in use. It has worked great for me on my vacation to Key West, Disney World and Universal Studios in Florida. ... show more

  • Features galore, easy to use one-handed, & priced right
Color: White
This is a great SMALL camera that was perfect for me! I am unable to use my right hand and arm for things that require them to be raised at all. Therefore, it was perfect for my left hand. I could hold the camera, turn it on, adjust the zoom, function the automatic focus and snap the photo, still being able to see most of the 1080 screen to make sure I'm getting the scene I really want. In a recent cruise down the Rhine River, and to Lucern, Switzerland, my wife and I took 633 photos on this camera, and very few were out of focus, or not what we wanted to photograph. I wish I had ordered it sooner than I did. There are so many cameras in the category of Compact Digital, and, wanting to get as much camera as I could, spent too much time second guessing myself. But Let me be very clear on this: I AM NOT SORRY I PURCHASED THIS CAMERA! We have an older digital camera, and while it isn't even close to this one, it did help me to get going with my picture taking. In fact, that was our guide to a lot of what we knew how to do. It wasn't until we got home that I discovered the "sweep panorama" ability That would have given us such beautiful photos along the Rhine River and in so many other places. How soon should I have ordered it? We got it on May 23, and we left to fly to Amsterdam on May 30. And I don't think of myself as a "quick study". There wasn't enough manual with the camera to guide me to the best features, panoramic photos, Pixel Gross:21.1 MP, a 20.4 megapixel Exmor R CMOS image sensor, and tons of other specs I have no idea what they mean, but I love them when I see them, and I discovered many on the fly. One I discovered when we got home, and love, is WI-FI that allowed it to download all the pictures to my iMac when I got close enough. WOW! Cool! It fits in my shirt pocket. And was so reasonably priced at Amazon. Would I order it again if I could do it over? YOU BET I WOULD!! ... show more

  • Dysfunctional Wifi - difficult to use - bloated software required
Color: White
Unbelievably difficult wifi/transfer. This is the most frustrating piece of technology I've encountered in quite a while. What should be a simple thing has been bloated and complicated beyond belief by Sony. I spent hours trying to figure out how to transfer photos with wifi, and it basically doesn't work. You have to install Sony's PlayMemories software on the devices you want to use it. The computer app download is over 230mb! May I remind you that this is larger than hard drives used to be not that long ago. On my fast Windows7 desktop with state-of-the-art i7 processor, it took about 15 minutes to install the software after it was downloaded from Sony's site (which was an exercise to achieve itself because the installer won't wait for me to allow the connection through the firewall - once it's blocked initially, it will never finish and just hang). I did finally get it installed. You have to connect the camera via USB cable to the computer before you can connect it by wifi. Once I finally got it connected by wifi, it was unbelievably slow. My router allows me to view wireless device status and rates - the camera - just a couple of feet from the router - had a usable but poor signal. When I put it within inches of the router, the signal was good, but still the highest transmit rate out of the camera was 1mbps. This meant it took a long time just to show the files on the camera, and when I tried to transfer a 1-minute video file - well, I waited 10 minutes and gave up. When I gave up, the camera pretty much locked up and was in an unusable state - I could get to settings and some of the menu items, but it would not go into playback or camera mode. I had to remove the battery. Transferring to my supported Nexus smartphone (it's on the Sony list) was not much better. All the NFC does is tell the phone to start the similarly poor PlayMemories Mobile App and connect to the camera which becomes a Wifi AP. My phone connected to the camera, but then basically nothing else happened - the camera is stuck on 'connecting' and the phone is stuck on 'connecting'. I was never able to do any of the control the camera functions from the phone. I was able once or twice to actually get an image from the camera to the phone - by manually disconnecting/reconnecting to the camera AP, but the why or how of what would make it work was never evident. 100% sure it never works the way it is "supposed" to. And in the process of doing this, the phone would DISABLE access to my home wifi AP - so I'd have to manually reconnect phone otherwise would be using LTE mobile data! Totally unusable. As a camera - I can't really say much - I tried taking some pictures, and it has a lot of options and it might take decent pictures - not really sure. But one of the main reasons I bought this was to simplify transfer of pictures and it is not only complicated, for me it is totally unusable. I tried to call Sony Support (a non-toll-free "Florida" phone number) - the call goes to the Philippines and they must be using some VoIP technique to save data - the audio quality was so bad that I found it nearly impossible to understand the girl I was talking to. I didn't get to the point of even being able to ask my questions because first she wanted all my information and it was nearly impossible to make out what she was saying. I hung up and called back - but same thing. I waited a while to try again, and then the call was answered with low-quality music that never stopped. Maybe all people were busy talking, but the call wasn't answered with any voice at all - just music! I give up. **UPDATE Feb 2015** I decided to keep the camera, and as a camera I like it. I still am unhappy with the wifi transfer/software issue, but have been able to use it - I use a firewall with my phone and turns out the firewall was blocking [part of] the communications needed for the wifi transfer. It's multiple apps/processes - pretty much I have to disable the firewall altogether on the phone to use wifi transfer (and remember to re-enable it when I'm finished). So, I'm revising my rating from 1 to 3 stars. ... show more

  • Very Good Camera for Beginners
Color: Black
Perfect first camera. Made me enjoy photography. This is my first real camera after years of using a phone, and I’m really glad I chose this one. It’s small, easy to use, and makes shooting feel more intentional compared to a phone. Pros: • Great image quality in daylight • Natural colors and texture (not over-processed) • Very portable, easy to bring everywhere • Fun to use and encourages learning photography Cons (expected): •Low-light performance is just okay •You need to learn basic exposure to avoid blown highlights •App transfer works, but SD card reader is better for original files Overall: A great choice for beginners who want a compact camera that feels “real” without being overwhelming. Highly recommended as a first camera. ... show more

  • Sony is the only choice!
Color: Black
Sony gets it right every time! Pros: Color Picture Quality Wifi Battery Life Price Cons: Flash seems small I've always been a huge fan of Sony cameras and TV's because their colors are unmatched. Samsung over does their saturation. Canon's greens are always a little odd. And Nikon (who uses Sony sensors) always seemed a little dull but more accurate. Sony, however, has always had colors that are exactly as our eyes see it! And to me color is the most important part of any picture. The camera itself is very small, which is great because I needed something I could carry in my coat pocket. The battery life is excellent. I got a full day of shooting off the little guy (which would be 10 hours of roaming auto shows and taking a few hundred pictures each day. The wireless connection is wonderful! I didn't bring my computer and just had my Sony Z3v and since I frequently post to instagram, instantly transferring my photos to my phone worked wonderfully! Plus I could send my girlfriend those pictures via text of what I saw and wanted to share. The first day the LCD seemed pretty hard to see. But I realized if I just turn the brightness up on the LCD it's fine during direct sunlight. The quality of the pictures are fantastic. That's all I can say on that. They look just like real life. Color is perfect, exposure is fantastic, dynamic range is impressive for a pocket camera. Summary: If my camera broke, I would go to Amazon and purchase another one without doing any further research! ... show more
