Camera Overview — Sony DSC-WX10

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX10 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 16MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by Sony's BIONZ image processor. The camera covers an ISO range of 100 to 3200, giving shooters flexibility across a range of lighting situations. For composition and review, you get a 2.8-inch fixed LCD with a solid 460,800-dot resolution — a respectable figure for a camera in this class.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast-detection system with 9 focus points and subject tracking, which helps keep moving subjects sharp without manual intervention. A built-in optical image stabilization (OIS) system works to reduce camera shake during handheld shooting. The WX10 also supports a fast 10fps burst mode, making it capable of capturing quick action sequences.

On the video side, it records at up to 60fps with frame rate options including 60i and 30p, at 8-bit color depth. The camera uses an NP-BG1 battery rated for approximately 250 shots per charge. Storage is flexible, with support for SD, SDHC, SDXC, and Memory Stick PRO Duo cards.

The body itself is constructed from plastic composite and measures 95 x 54 x 23 mm at 161g — genuinely pocketable for everyday carry. A built-in flash is included, though there is no hot shoe for external flash accessories.
