Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX80

 

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX80 is a compact camera that is capable of capturing sharp photos in all types of light, and also includes Wi-Fi.

Very small. Sharp lens. 8x zoom range. Fast burst shooting. Short shutter lag. Wi-Fi. Remote viewfinder capability. 1080i60 video.

Sony WX80 gives glimpse into 2013 Cyber-shots to come

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX80

 

This sub-$200 point and shoot has some flaws, but for the price you can't expect much.

Even though it boasts an array of attractive features, a compact body, and a few impressive highlights in our performance testing, the WX80's image quality is ultimately nothing special. While the prospect of having 1080p HD video, an 8x optical zoom,...
