The zoom & lens make this camera great

Use for international travel to capture pictures beyond the cell phone snapshot and this easy to use little guy does the job. Extensive zoom capability and excellent lens set it apart, yet still compact and easy to carry.

Good pictures, other problems

The pictures are so crisp and sharp compared to my old Sony, which, as it got older, when you took a picture you never knew if it would be in focus or not. It also doesn't require the flash unless the room is fairly dim. The night shots I've tried to take don't turn out - it tries to lighten the sky, so the pictures look grainy. The focus is a real pain. It's very stiff, which makes it difficult to only adjust it a little at a time. It zoom in or out a lot - you can't do just a little at a time no matter how hard you try. Then a few months after it was out of warranty the door to the memory card wouldn't shut all the way so the camera would tell me there was no memory card inserted. I haven't been hard on the camera - keep it in a padded case in my purse, so it's not handled roughly. When I contacted the store where I bought it, their response was that I could pay their service company to fix it because since it was out of warranty Sony wouldn't do anything. I ended up solving the problem by putting a small piece of paper folded up between the memory card and door so it would push the card down far enough for the camera to read that the card was there. Since I've now had problems with both Sony cameras I've purchased, I think I'll go with a different brand the next time.

Sony DSC-WX80 Specifications

About Sony DSC-WX80

Shoot stunning close-ups even in low light with the Sony DSC-WX80, a 16.2MP pocket camera that makes everything easier thanks to an 8x optical zoom and built-in Wi-Fi. Whether you're taking pics, shooting full HD video or sharing them with family and friends, everything happens with the simple push of a button.

Get up close with 8x optical zoom plus 16x Clear Image digital zoom. Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.

This camera features a 16.2 megapixel Exmor R CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera's Carl Zeiss Vario Tessar lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, the combined Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ image processor delivers extremely fast up to 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080i movie modes.

WiFi lets you quickly upload photos and videos to social media sites through your WiFi smartphone or tablet, back them up on a network-connected PC, or view them on a large screen TV.

Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080 AVCHD video. This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV. With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time.

Sony's Active Mode image stabilization gives you the freedom to shoot movies even while walking or running. 2-way Active Mode corrects for both vertical and horizontal motion.

Enhanced Superior Auto supports scenes with dynamic motion to provide beautiful results even in dark situations. The result is clearer images with less blur.

Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Select camera models have up to nine different effects. See camera specs for details.

Intelligent Sweep Panorama mode takes Sony's Sweep Panorama function to the next level with the addition of motion compensation. Even when subjects are moving in the foreground of your landscape, these cameras can detect faces and moving subjects, intelligently stitching different widths together to minimize distortion. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed, then seamlessly stitches the images together with automatic position adjustment to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and up to 360° full circle, the camera can take a variety of panoramic shots.
