"Bought this 2 weeks ago, and have taken about 1500 images, and about 20 vids. The optical zoom is great. Trying to hold the camera steady is challenging, especially when you get into the digital zoom.

Good product

When you want to take better photos than your smartphone is capable of, yet don?t want to lug around a DSLR or mirrorless camera, a compact camera could be just the ticket. And the 18-megapixel Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX500 ($299) is the best choice in its class.

Wide focal range; Compact; Built-in Wi-Fi; Variety of mobile apps; Flip-up LCD; Built-in image stabilization

No viewfinder; LCD difficult to see in bright sunlight

I am a Sony point and shoot cybershot camera fan for many years and probably have owned 4 or 5 over the years. The DSC-WX500 is a tad bit heavier than my previous models but that is a trade off when you consider the superior Carl Zeiss optics with 30x zoom. It's a trade off I gladly make.

Not looks like fresh. Overall camera is good

I got one that was already opened which can be risky sometimes but its in perfect condition! Works great and not a scratch on it! I definitely do not regret this purchase. Fast shipping too! Arrived in just under a week :) Very impressed.

Very secure camera case, fits the camera perfectly and useful neck strap. Only criticism is that it makes a very light camera feel slightly heavy.

Brought one of these this in April and had it for approximately 6weeks, after the most gentle knock whilst in my bag, the lens was stuck out and the camera it's self would not work at all! After sending it to Sony they proceeded to tell me that it would cost ￡307 to fix!

The camera looks great. Lightweight, easy to carry, very smooth in taking selfies. Pictures are great, loving it. The handling strap is not that powerful, so handle with care. The delivery was on time(Prime).

I am happy to bought it. It is good for my job. Camera is heavy to carry in pocket.
