Review: Magnificent camera - I say that despite having to send it back. - Despite the fact I've returned this (read on for why), I actually love this camera. The zoom range is incredible, it's pocketable, the selfie screen is totally usable and useful and it produces sharp results. It's a great carry anywhere /travel camera. I have the big heavy DSLR's, but for just walking around this is great. Unfortunately I have a defective copy. On about 1 in 5 photos there is a horizontal streaking. It actually looks like old fashioned film scratching. It spoils the photos because it's right across the middle of the image. It didn't happen every time, so the shots that don't have the problem are great. Disappointed that I got a bad copy, but I have to say the camera itself produces some fantastic results. I've attached a few so you can see the kind of sharpness you can get. I'll be ordering this again since it's practical, high quality and just great fun to use. Small enough for a pocket, it really is the take anywhere camera. The samples I've shown demonstrate just how good this camera is (at least in good light - haven't used it in low light so don't know). Really a shame about the marks on them. I'm sure that's just from a defective copy of the camera. I don't believe it's a general problem. Zooming in on the two birds I was able to keep a comfortable working distance, so I didn't scare them away. You can see the sharpness is pretty good despite zooming to max. and standing in a pretty windy spot! I've looked at various alternatives to this camera and none seems to have all the features I would like. For that reason alone I'll have to get another one of these. The overall combination of size, features, sharpness, zoom range and flip-out screen make this a great buy at the price.
Review: Sony Cybershot WX500 - I wanted a pocketable compact camera with a long zoom lens, and after much deliberation, and searching of the internet, ordered a Sony Cybershot WX500. My new camera arrived about four days ago, and having tried it out in a variety of conditions, I am very pleased with its performance. I am well aware of the limitations of small cameras with tiny sensors, so did not have unrealistic expectations. Sure enough, it struggles to give good results with the zoom lens extended, if conditions are less than bright. However, when there is plenty of light it responds very well indeed. With the lens un-zoomed the camera copes as well as any other comparable compact in all conditions, and better than most. It is easy and convenient to use. The auto focus performance is impressively quick and accurate. The image stabilisation works well. I had to do a bit of head scratching to figure out how to use fully manual settings, but it was worth the effort. Last night I took some amazing photos of the moon, showing lots of clear detail of craters and other features on the surface. The camera seems to be well made, and the battery life is very good. Overall I am very well pleased with my purchase of the Sony Cybershot WX500. I am sure it will prove to be a very useful piece of equipment when I am out and about, and do not want to carry a larger camera.

## Features

- For zoomed-in clarity that smartphones can't match, a 5x optical zoom gets you closer to the action.

- Whip out the W800 to capture crisp, smooth footage in an instant. At the press of a button, you can record blur-free 720 HD images with digital sound.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this camera come with a recharger for the Li battery?**
A: yes

**Q: do you lose any clarity of photos when you zoom in from qite far away**
A: I would like to point out that picture quality will remain the same up to the 5x optical zoom. If you carry on after this point using digital zoom, that's when there will be a noticeable loss of quality

**Q: Does this have the facility for date stamp**
A: No it dose not date stamp the photos.

**Q: How do you print photos from this camera**
A: I would connect it to a PC or LAPTOP via the usb cable then import the photos into a folder then pick the picture you want to print and print it off..I hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ pretty pleased with the camera in both respect to both ...
*by T***N on 8 October 2015*

Positives: -Can charge the battery in the camera with a USB power brick when travelling; no need to lug around special chargers & cables -Wireless functionality makes it easy to shift the photos from the camera to an iPad or other device -Superior image quality -Well designed and intuitive user interface -Batteries interchangeable with Sony's AS 30 Action Cam -Cross-Platform support for Sony "Play Memories" software for Windows, OSX, IOS & Android Negatives: -"Motion Shot" advertised as a feature of this camera is not available; don't waste your time trying to install or configure it -No GPS tagging (although the lack of this feature will preserve battery life substantially) Overall, pretty pleased with the camera in both respect to both the quality of the photographs and it's wireless connectivity. When travelling, I like to backup the photos using the camera's wireless functionality to my iPad2 every night just in case the camera is lost/stolen or damaged. An excellent feature is the ability to charge the camera's battery using a USB power brick when out and about; no special charger required. The batteries for this camera are also interchangeable with Sony's AS30 Action Cam which is sweet. Only real niggle- and this precluded it receiving 5 stars was that one of the banner features was "Motion Shot Video". Think of a trail of basketballs going into a basket demonstrating it's trajectory. I couldn't find any setting for this on the camera, and after ages of Googling, discovered that it is *NOT* a native feature and requires "Play Memories Camera Apps" which not only requires separate purchase (£3.99)- it is not even compatible with this camera ([...]). MAC Compatibility: there is a Mac package for this app, but it doesn't install the app onto the camera. Might work with Windows, but I have not tested this. For both false advertising of what Sony felt was a key selling feature and wasting my time trying to use it, I deducted a star. Other small niggles: No GPS tagging in the photos, and the build quality is not sturdy. I believe if you dropped this camera onto the pavement, you'd have a seriously busted camera. Since the lanyard attachment point broke, there is no way to ensure I don't drop the camera by accident sadly. Otherwise, in respect to it's feature set and quality of pics, this is a really good camera, a bargain in respect to competing alternatives.
