Description — Sony DSC-WX80
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX80 is a 16MP point-and-shoot camera built around a 1/2.3-inch sensor and the BIONZ image processor. At just 124g and measuring 92 x 52 x 22mm, it's one of the more portable options in the compact camera category. The camera's ISO 100–12800 range provides flexibility in various lighting situations, while optical image stabilization (OIS) helps deliver steadier handheld results.
Shooting fast moments is supported by a 10 fps burst mode. The 2.7-inch TFT LCD display at 230,000 dots is used for framing and review, as no viewfinder is included. Video recording tops out at 1920x1080 at 60i, with a 1280x720 at 30p option also available, all in 8-bit color.
Autofocus uses contrast detection across 9 focus points with subject tracking enabled. Storage is handled by SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards, and built-in Wi-Fi allows for wireless image transfer. The plastic body carries no weather sealing, so it's best suited to everyday, fair-weather use.
