At first glance, the Sony Cybershot HX50V looks bullish: only 108 x 64 x 38 mm large, but a proud 270 grams. This impression is relativized by a glance at the equipment of the digital camera. Because of the 30 times the focal range, the housing of the SonyHX50V is really cute and fits even into the shirt pocket, even if the then something is buckled. The right side of the camera is shaped like a handle and rubberized. This makes the camera easy to hold.
All-rounder
On the controls on the camera top is already recognizable that Sony has also saved in the exposure methods. The main setting wheel of the Sony HX50V offers settings for program, time, aperture and an M-setting, as well as six additional stop positions for memory polling, panpanorama, film mode, scene selection, intelligent automatic and "superior automatic". In addition, a further setting wheel for the exposure correction is attached to the right. Both wheels are resting forcefully, unintended adjustment is hardly possible.
With Megazoom
The buttons on the rear of the Sony HX50V have clean pressure points, but the four-way button is a bit filigree and sensitive. The marking of the controls is very easy to recognize. The symbols assigned to the keys are not white on a black background, but are shiny silver on a black background. This increases the contrast and looks very good.
Convincing image quality
The menu button opens an extensive list on the left side of the display. The individual positions are all touched with the four-way button. The suitcase symbol, establishes a cross-connection to the recording settings, in order to make further settings here. The button marked "Custom" should be equipped with ISO, white balance or the measuring mode. For the preselected value, press the button once to display the whole row, then use the four-button to select the desired value and store it at the same time.
Test Conclusion
The memory recall mode MR, a position on the main control dial of the Sony HX50V, offers the possibility to assemble three complete camera configurations. These are saved and can be recalled at will. This allows the camera to be adapted to specific shooting situations. All adjusted recording values are then immediately available as a complete package. An all-round operating concept.
Even the 3-inch display of the Sony HX50V with its 307,000 RGB pixels gives little reason for criticism. It looks sharp and realizes colors realistically. The two settings of the display should either provide high quality or spare the battery. However, we could not notice a significant difference in the display or the battery life.
The focal length of the Sony HX50V ranges from 24 to 720 mm (KB). The moderate light intensity of 3.5 to 6.3 is the price for the large focal range and the compact design. With the short entry focal length of 24 mm (KB), the Sony HX50V can be used well even in cramped conditions and even with a maximum focal length of 720 mm (KB) it is just 100 mm deep.
The built-in flash snaps to the touch of the button. Only in the extended state, these settings are possible: Autoblitz, Zwangsblitz, SL-Langzeit-Synchro. The flash shoe on the camera top allows the use of stronger external flash units or, alternatively, an external microphone of an electronic viewfinder. It costs more than the camera.
The processing of the Sony HX50V is fundamental. Not beautiful is however the completely open HDMI connection on the Kameraboden. This can be quickly soiled and then make anger. Well, the free app "PlayMemories Home" on the smartphone or tablet can also be remotely controlled, so you can send pictures right away. A GPS module is also on board.
Sony installed in the HX50V a 20-megapixel sensor, which can convince. Almost 1,700 LP / BH at ISO 100 in the image center (wide angle) are good and the edge waste remains below 300 LP / BH and thus under 20 percent. The readings are only slightly reduced with ISO 400 and ISO 800. The picture noise is already visible at ISO 100, but balanced and without image detail to destroy. In the wide-angle overall, a performance with the Sony HX50V almost in the league of the 1 / 1.7-inch sensors plays - although their sensor measures only 1 / 2.3 inches.
The image quality of the HX50V weakens only when telephoto is set - not only for the measured values, but also for the visual assessment. This telesuction continues seamlessly with the autofocus: While it is at a wide angle with 0.29 fast on the matter comes, it needs in the telelahme 1.03s.
Buying advice: The best compact cameras
The Sony Cybershot DSC-HX50V is a modern camera that can do a lot, is very handy and still provides decent picture quality at ISO 100 and ISO 400. Buying code
