The variety of characteristics and names of cameras can confuse the unprepared amateur photographer and often lacks any logic. Well, in the case of the WX100 there is a logic to it and it is likely that there are buyers who would understand and appreciate it. This compact offers the functionality of Sony’s top-of-the-line platform for a low price and in a slim package. But at a price.
18.2 MP 25-250 10x 2.7″ $290
Although the camera is not in the older family HX, equipped with an 18-megapixel Exmor R sensor and a powerful proprietary Bionz processor. WX100 has high-speed continuous shooting 10 fps , Full HD AVCHD video recording and other high-speed modes. Optics reduced to “ordinary” 10x zoom at 25-250 mm range. And all this packed into a traditional compact body that is a little over two centimeters thick and weighs about one hundred and thirty grams.
As for the payback, the developers for some reason gave the camera a clear, but very small screen: only 2.7 inches with 461 thousand pixels. points. You can get a normal-sized screen even with a surcharge – in the budget camera twin W690, but with poor resolution and without a cool matrix, fast electronics and Full HD.
Could you please share your opinion on the overall performance, image quality, and ease of use of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX100 compact camera? I’m considering purchasing it and would like to know if it’s worth the investment. Thank you!
