Brief hands-on preview of the Sony Cyber-shot HX50

[DPNow]

Here is a summary or excerpt from an article that has just been published on DPNow:

We've had a short time using a pre-production Sony Cyber-shot HX50, officially launched earlier today. The HX50 is an interesting camera in several ways; it is the world's smallest 30x zoom compact camera, it has a 20 megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor, and it is wifi-enabled (although not with NFC). The HX50 is firmly aimed at one of the few compact camera market segments that is still growing: travel compacts. But probably one of the most interesting aspects of the HX50 is that it's industrial design was developed in the UK - by a German, Mirko Goetzen.

Re: Brief hands-on preview of the Sony Cyber-shot HX50

New cameras seem to be popping up all over the place at the moment.

The Sony Cyber-shot HX50 is the latest to enter the popular travel zoom category. Most compact camera categories are seeing big declines in sales of up to 25% per year but the travel zoom sector remains vibrant. And the HX50 is designed here in the UK!
