Description — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX30
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX30 is a genuinely pocketable point-and-shoot camera that packs a 16MP sensor into a 92 x 52 x 19mm, 117g plastic/metal composite body. Powered by the BIONZ image processor, it captures stills at up to 4608x3456 pixels with an ISO range of 100–3200. The 3.0-inch XtraFine TFT LCD touchscreen at 921,600 dots makes image review crisp and intuitive.
On the video side, the WX30 handles 1080p recording at up to 60fps in 8-bit color. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps keep handheld shots steady, while contrast-detection AF across 9 focus points handles everyday focusing tasks. Burst shooters will appreciate the 10fps continuous shooting mode. Eight in-camera color profiles — including Pop Colour, Rich-tone Monochrome, Miniature, and HDR Painting — let you apply creative looks without post-processing.
Storage is versatile, supporting SD, SDHC, SDXC, Memory Stick, and Memory Stick PRO Duo cards. The NP-BN1 battery is rated for approximately 230 shots per charge.
