Massive zoom in relatively small body, decent optical image stabilisation, hotshoe means accessories can be added, Wi-Fi implementation fairly faff-free, great battery life
Image quality is trying to do too much - even low ISO shots suffer from excessive processing artefacts, no raw capture, a little chunky, no touchscreen, where's NFC
The HX50 has a packed-out specification will undoubtedly attract plenty of potential purchasers. But does it deliver in every department? Not quite. For all its strengths - and there are plenty to name - the HX50 feels a little on the fence, sandwic...
30x zoom lens: decent quality maintained over the whole focal range, 20Megapixel sensor used intelligently and masterfully, WiFi and GPS, Good build quality, Handy help function, Good general responsiveness (for a superzoom), Impressive "Super Resolution"
No RAW mode, No touchscreen, Poorquality USB port cover, Battery life could be better
For a compact that packs 20 million pixels onto a small-format sensor and sports a 30x optical zoom lens in a compact casing, the Sony Cyber-shot HX50V masters its technology very well, both in terms of optics and electronics. Performances are impressive,...
Abstract: As well as making the Sony HX50 smaller than its predecessor, the Sony HX20V , the manufacturer has used some of its RX technology to enhance the new model and squeezed in a 30x optical zoom lens. The Sony G lens has an equivalent focal length of 24-720mm...
The best all-round compact camera money can buy, superb in any situation ...

Quality: above average.Why you would buy it: compact; powerful zoom range; integrated WiFi; GPS functionality.Why you wouldn't: no RAW capture; no optical finder; no vari-angle finder.Having already bought a couple of mega zoom compacts, I am loathe to in...
30x zoom biggest of any camera this size, Very good photos and video, Full manual controls and a hot shoe, Loaded with features, Solid, upscale build quality
Grainy image noise at high ISOs
The world's smallest camera with a 30x optical zoom, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX50V also captures fantastic photos and videos. Add a wealth of high-end features -- including full manual controls and a hot shoe -- and it's easily the best all-around ultra-z...
Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-HX50V is the smallest, lightest camera with a 30x zoom. It has a large assortment of shooting options, direct control over exposure compensation, and excellent photo and video quality for its class. A Multi Interface Shoe lets you...
Despite the additional manual controls and Multi Interface Shoe, the HX50 lacks a couple things enthusiasts value: a large sensor and raw capture. The flash, mic, and viewfinder accessories are expensive. Slow lens limits its usefulness indoors.
Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-HX50V is an excellent compact megazoom suitable for snapshooters to enthusiasts, though the latter might be turned off by some aspects of the camera.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX50V offers the longest focal length of any travel-zoom camera on the market, with the 30x optic providing enough width and reach for virtually any photographic situation that you'll encounter. It does make the camera significant...
Huge 30x 24-720mm equivalent zoom range, Excellent image stabilisation, Hot shoe with accessory port for EVF, Excellent 400 shot battery life, Full PASM modes and Exposure compensation dial, Built-in wifi and GPS (GPS on HX50V only).
Wifi difficult to setup and limited in use, Screen hard to see in bright conditions, Limited customisation options.
Sony has made a smart move by splitting it's 2013 pocket super-zoom range and offering two options in the form of the HX50(V) and the more affordable 20x WX300. Not everybody needs or wants a 30x zoom but those who do won't mind paying a little extra ...
