Japanese electronics company Sony has unveiled the two new smallest compact cameras to offer 30x optical zoom lenses; Carl Zeiss lenses.
Sony is bringing the kind of camera that’s almost as feature-rich, yet significantly more affordable.
The new Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V and DSC-WX500 share nearly identical specifications, with only a few distinct differences (more on that in a second).
Both cameras offer 18.2-megapixels of resolution, 30x optical zoom lenses, tilting 3.0-inch LCD screens, full 1080/60p XAVC S video capture, and built-in Wi-Fi and NFC. The HX90V adds GPS functionality and a retractable OLED viewfinder.
DSC-HX90V and DSC-WX500 sport an 18.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor alongside a Bionz X processor, five-axis image stabilization (Optical SteadyShot), 1080p video recording, NFC, WiFi and a 7.6-cm (3-inch) selfie-friendly LCD.
The HX90V model, however, sports a retractable electronic viewfinder similar to the RX100 model by Sony. The latest cameras will hit the stores in June.
