Sony introduces Cyber-shot HX50V, a small and light 30x superzoom

This shooter is all too familiar with the superzoom -- and Sony's latest 30x model may just offer the perfect excuse for an upgrade. The 9.6-ounce device has earned the title of "world's smallest and lightest 30x optical zoom camera," which, judging by its spec sheet, is quite an achievement. There's a 24-720mm SteadyShot-equipped optical zoom lens, a 20.4-megapixel 1/2.3-inch Exmor R CMOS sensor, a 921k-dot 3-inch LCD, 1080/60p video capture, a top sensitivity of ISO 12,800 and a battery that's rated for up to 400 shots. As you may have noticed from the image above, there's also a dedicated mode dial, exposure-compensation control and a full-size hot shoe. You can pick up Sony's Cyber-shot HX50V next month for $449, or check it out right now in the gallery just below.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> <img alt="Gallery Image" height="396" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/dschx50vblackrear.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="488" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/dschx50vblackrighttele.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="448" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/dschx50vblackright.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="640" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/ecm-xyst1mrightdsc-hx50vblack.jpg" width="480" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="640" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/fda-ev1mkrightdsc-hx50vblack.jpg" width="545" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="640" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/hvl-f20mdsc-hx50vblack.jpg" width="570" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="628" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/hx50v50blackdownwardtele.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="536" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/hx50v50blackdownwardwide.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="488" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/hx50v50blackfrontflashpopup.jpg" width="640" /><img alt="Gallery Image" height="461" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/04/hx50vblackhandrear.jpg" width="640" /></div></div><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/91ENxsmTRTo?feature=player_embedded" width="640"></iframe></div>

Sony brings Cyber-shot HX300, WX300 and TX30 to the US with fast autofocus

<div dir="rtl" style="text-align: right;" trbidi="on"><hr dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" /> <div class="image-container" dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;"> <img alt="Sony brings Cybershot HX300, WX300 and TX30 to the US with fast autofocus" data-src-height="340" data-src-width="620" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/02/sony-hx300.jpg" /></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> Sony refreshed many of its mainstream Cyber-shot cameras at CES. Now that we're on the cusp of spring, the company is giving equal love to a trio of more specialized shooters arriving in the US. The 20.4-megapixel Cyber-shot HX300 superzoom easily bests its HX200V ancestor in the optics department with a 50X, 24-1,200mm equivalent lens that sports better stabilization, but the real allure is its autofocus speed: it can lock in twice as quickly at telephoto distances, giving us more reason to use all that extra reach. The WX300 compact zoom isn't quite as alluring on paper with its 18.2-megapixel sensor and 20X (25-50mm equivalent) lens, although it carries autofocus about 3.6 times speedier than the old HX30 while stuffing in WiFi for simpler photo sharing.</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;"> These two are joined by the TX30, an all-around improvement for last year's waterproof TX20 camera. While there isn't quite a revolution on the outside, the TX30 can survive twice the depth at 33 feet, carries a longer-zoomed 5X (26-130mm) lens and bumps the resolution to 18.2 megapixels. Both the TX30 and the HX300 will come first, hitting American shops in March at respective $350 and $500 prices. The WX300 will miss March break with its April release, but it will be the cheapest of the pack at $330. </div></div>
