Large cameras are not only great opportunities, but corresponding chores. Problems with where to put, so as not to hit, take or not take with you just in case, and just an impressive weight repel such a purchase. I have a large advanced mirrorless Fujik model of 2006 at home, and using its example, I have well learned all the shortcomings of such a technique. Therefore, for outings and travel, I bought this compact from Sony. This camera is small and relatively light. Comparatively, because 200+ grams are still felt. As befits a small camera, its matrix is also small 1 / 2.3, but modern, and therefore sensitive, you can safely shoot at ISO 1600. You can rise even higher, then you will have to do additional processing to suppress noise. ISO 6400 and 12800 should not be used at all. Advanced optical stabilization is smart and can compensate for hand shake. It is especially relevant at large zooms, and this lens can give a 30x magnification. Such a zoom is not often needed and you can shoot with such an increase only in good lighting, the aperture ratio decreases too noticeably. But I can only praise the autofocus. He works quickly and tenaciously in relation. Of course, there is also Wi-Fi with NFC. The first allows you to transfer photos to a smartphone and generally remotely control the camera, and the second is needed for a quick connection. It's this simple tap connection that makes using Wi-Fi convenient. Autofocus in dense twilight works with brakes and crashes. For some reason, it saves photos for a long time, you will have to try with a faster memory card. |
The compact camera from Sony, along with its older brother in the face of the Sony DSC-HX90V, are the lightest (about 235 g) and miniature ultrazooms on the market.
Matrix
The Sony DSC-WX500 differs from its older comrade only in the absence of a viewfinder and a GPS module. Otherwise, their filling is identical — it is represented by a 1/2.3-inch sensor with an effective resolution of 18.2 MP and backlight. The matrix produces a high-quality and sharp picture. But this is not only her merit — in the process of building an image, a large role is assigned to complete optics.
Optics
The ultrazoom is equipped with a Zeiss lens with a focal length range of 24-720mm (35mm equivalent) and aperture of f/3.5-6.4. Optics from the German brand has always been famous for its highest quality. Here, too, it will not let you down, although it has a low floating aperture. To compensate for the lack of aperture, a wide ISO range (from 80 to 12800 units), as well as a 5-axis stabilization system, are called upon. The latter works especially well in tandem with video — an active stub allows you to shoot smooth videos in motion or while zooming.
excerpts
On a single battery charge, the camera is capable of shooting approximately 350 shots. The value of the longest shutter speed is 30 s, and I would like to see a short one more than 1/2000 s — in bright light, in some cases, the picture may turn out to be overexposed.
Display
The camera has not been spared by the global selfie pandemic — its screen leans back to the “on itself” position, from which it is convenient to take self-portraits. The display is touch-sensitive and has a diagonal of 3". Also on board are wireless Wi-Fi and NFC modules, which greatly simplify the transfer of footage immediately to a smartphone or tablet for further sharing in social networks.
