Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX80 Reviews

Evaluation 5
Advantages: Satisfies everything.
Disadvantages: Not found.
Comment: A few hours before the holiday I went to the store and bought this device. Vacation filmed on "Hurray!"
The photos are excellent, the video is beyond praise.
I thought I often have to charge such a small battery. Did not have to. Day holds, in the evening to exercise.
Pictures and videos made over a hundred gigs. None of the pictures in any video found what was dissatisfied. All filmed in auto mode.
From the photo, photos and videos are viewed both on the computer and on the TV set immediately.

I read reviews here about him. Yes, I do not know two thirds of such words and terms, for how here the device is evaluated. A fair question - why climb into some jungle something to look for there, pick out and poking around in the picked out one again?
I am sure that show photos from this camera and from some super-mega-giga-mirror-hrenznaet to the local specs that no one will notice the difference.
And an ordinary person who does not suffer from a lack of taste and who does not go deep into some kind of wilds of parameters and so forth. Writing on the network will enjoy pictures and videos from this fotik.
What else does? Oh yeah, show off terms. Yes, no one except the "Internet fighters" is not necessary!
Ponty they are in Africa Ponte.
People just capture the moments of their lives and with this fotikom it turns out great!

Advantages: Compact, great shoots, full hd smooth video, panorama, many modes, wi-fi, makes 3d photos
Disadvantages: The micro usb cord is hard to stick in, for a long video shoot you need to stock up on a second battery, I haven't noticed any more shortcomings.
Comment: A good digital camera at a good price, since there was no wx-100, wx-200, took this one, for this price it is better not to find a device, in this price segment it makes the best video (along with wx-100, wx-200).
After several months of use I would like to add:
Video shoots in 2 formats m2ts / 50 frames per second 1920x1080 (video is smooth, but interlace scanning) and regular mp4 / 25 frames per second but the resolution is 1440 x 1080, but it is also detected as full full hd, there are no problems with this.
Previously wrote about the impossibility of watching m2ts on TV, but no, it turned out the problem is solved by simply changing the format, that is, you need to do so that you can change the extension (look in Google).
This method is suitable for all cameras, that is, we take the video that we shot, but could not watch it on TV, laptop (it does not matter) and replace the last letters of the format with MKV, or AVI for example, there is video 20140201.MTS, change to 20140201.MKV and rejoice smooth, good video.
I have been using it for 5 months now, nothing has broken, except that the power and viewing buttons now need to be pressed harder, we took around 10,000 pictures somewhere. While everything is normal. But I noticed that when I shoot a long-range plan or objects at a distance of 5-6 meters, the left upper one the edge, maybe it's a marriage or something, but the problem is solved by disabling face recognition, it is also better to turn off the image clarity immediately. There's no way for him, you should also switch to super auto mode if you are shooting people, so there will be less blurry pictures.
I do not regret buying, the device is good, but you can honestly save up and buy a full-fledged SLR.
Took over 6000 in April 2014.

Advantages: It's not cheap, but it's worth it. A good quality photo, the camera noticeably beats up reality, but it suits me :) Unlike cheaper cameras, the wx80 is pleased with a high-quality display with good resolution and color. A lot of necessary settings for all occasions and a convenient menu.
Excellent photographs in low light conditions
Smart and fast autofocus, each photo is assigned a sequence number, which eliminates confusion in the photo archive. Moreover, even if the battery is pulled out, the sequence number will not fail.
A sense of quality, 1080p video, and with 30 frames per second, which makes the video smoother and more natural.
Disadvantages: The main drawback for me is that the camera itself adjusts everything quite well for a successful shot, but there are situations when it is still unable, for example, to adequately capture the tint of the setting sun on the clouds in automatic mode. Because it turns out absolutely not the shade that was in reality.
There is a mode with manual settings in fotik, but it does not always help
It is not very convenient to connect a usb cable for charging, as you have to hold the plug with one hand at the same time and insert the plug.
Perhaps the battery is not the most energy-intensive, but enough for me.
Although the video in high quality for a long time you can not take pictures, not only because the video eats a charge, but also simply because the camera overheats after 25 minutes of continuous shooting in HD and turns itself off to cool. this is probably characteristic of all cameras. All the same, not a video camera.
During video recording, you can take pictures, but no more than 10 pieces, I would like more. Perhaps the camera is not the fastest when you need to remove a fast-moving object.
Comment: A good camera made at a high level, maybe I would buy something simpler and cheaper, but I needed a camera with 1080p 30fps. And I am quite pleased. I don’t have any complaints like "The object is buzzing on video at zoom" because it is trifles and it is quietly buzzing. In addition to the video functions, I purchased a camera made with "love")
The menu may seem overloaded with functions and settings, but really unnecessary there is not there, everyone can sometimes come in handy, even filming in HDR.

Advantages: Compact, lightweight. Good, colorful pictures in the "auto" mode, fast battery charging, good video. Intelligent automation and almost no mistake, setting up modes and correcting the result of shooting "on the fly."Everything is fine with skin tone. Value for money - excellent quality!
Disadvantages: If you turn off the sound, the focus confirmation tone disappears. This is uncomfortable in bright sunshine when the screen is not so good. In the simplified menu mode, the focus points disappear. It is impossible to turn down the volume. In silence the sounds are loud. In auto mode, you cannot turn off the electronic zoom. I would like a faster zoom. Slow zoom function when viewing on the camera screen. Charging the battery in the camera itself. However, this is a minus, only if you are going to buy an extra battery. "Dark" lens at maximum focal length.
Comment: I bought as a gift to a person who would photograph only in auto mode. With this camera everything is in order. I have not studied the possibility of wi-fi and computer software. These functions are not useful to the owner. The sophisticated user will certainly be able to squeeze out slightly better results from the camera due to exposure correction, etc., but, in my opinion, this device is not for that. It is for shooting on the machine. Saw - clicked - got a decent result. Still, this camera is not for those who like to look at the picture in high magnification, pixel by pixel. With the increase of visible "porridge" of compression artifacts, etc. So what? With normal viewing on a computer monitor and TV, everything is in order. And when printing on A4 (and on A3, for sure) everything will be decent too, I'm sure. Particularly impressionable just can immediately make a resize to a smaller size and the "problem" will disappear by itself. The maximum quality of photos will be (as for all soap cases) in bright sunlight and without electronic zoom. Although in cloudy weather the picture is unusually good.

Advantages: Small, light, smart, comfortable, fullHD, Wi-Fi
It is easy to use, even without opening the instructions, everything is intuitive. Simple and convenient menu, a lot of settings and preset modes. Gorgeous photo quality and surprisingly great video (I did not expect this from a camera). 8x smooth zoom. The charger in the set is, I do not know why in the previous review indicated its absence.
Fast flash charge.
Disadvantages: 1. The sound of the zoom is heard when playing a recorded video.
2. The camera screen is bad, when viewing photos on it, the image shake is noticeable, however it does not affect the photos themselves, and it’s better to watch them on a large screen monitor.
3. A small minus is that the battery is your own, if it is discharged, then you can quickly buy a battery in the battery stall and insert it into it, you will have to wait for the outlet. However, it is worth noting that it is enough for a day, it is quickly discharged only with long video filming.
Comment: I'll just post my test photos here so that you yourself can visually assess the quality

Advantages: weight and size of an average mobile phone, 8x optical zoom (!), quality of images and video, the possibility of panoramic shooting, but the whole device is one solid advantage!
Disadvantages: Only one is a very weak sound when watching a video on the camera itself.
Comment: I was looking for something small and with a decent zoom (sometimes it’s necessary for work). I thought to buy some Pentax protected, but the seller convinced me that this model is what I need. Not yet repented. Such a quality in such a small body did not expect!

Advantages: miniature, light weight, work speed, smart flash, sharpness and detail of pictures, 8 * zoom, full HD video, wi-fi information transfer !!!
Disadvantages: not found. There is no charger in the kit - the battery is charged through the cable, as in a mobile phone (it can be a plus).
Comment: just bought this machine. This is the 3rd Sony in my collection. I'm in a pleasant shock from this fotik. Of course, it’s possible, you don’t waste money on a soapbox by buying a smartphone with good performance from the pictures, but this is not convenient for me and the video needed no worse than the previous one (I had with full HD). immediately took a few pictures and videos. it just shook me. I bought a soap box, and the pictures on the machine are such that every eyelash can be seen. Yes, there is no smoothness or blurring, as in mirrors, and the color of SONY is clearly juicier than it is real, but I like it and I don’t crave with mirrors. This is a feral option with awesome video. I sincerely recommend it to everyone. I chose between wx80 and wx150, but chose my own, because A bit cheaper and there is wi-fi.
