Camera Overview — Sony DSC-WX150

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX150 is a slim, lightweight point-and-shoot camera built around an 18MP 1/2.3-inch sensor powered by Sony's BIONZ image processor. Weighing just 133g and measuring 95 x 56 x 22 mm, it's designed for portability-first shooters who want a capable pocketable camera without the bulk of a larger system. The ISO range spans 100 to 12800, giving the camera reasonable flexibility across different lighting conditions.

Autofocus relies on a 9-point contrast detection system with subject tracking built in, which helps keep moving subjects sharp without manual intervention. On the back, a fixed 3.0-inch LCD with 460,800 dots resolution serves as the primary framing and review tool — there's no viewfinder. Optical image stabilization is on board to help manage camera shake.

For video, the WX150 captures up to 1080p footage at frame rates of 60fps or 30fps in 8-bit color. The built-in pop-up flash covers a range of 0.3–5.6 m at wide angle and 1.5–2.5 m at telephoto. Storage is flexible, supporting SD, SDHC, SDXC, and Memory Stick formats, and the camera outputs to a TV via Micro HDMI.

The body is a plastic/metal composite construction with no weather sealing.
