The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX500 is a digital selfie compact camera, which can zoom up to 30x; equivalent to 24–720 mm. The WX500 is mainly used for selfies, not made for vlogging (but can still be used for vlogging).[1]
Its TFT LCD screen can tilt up to 180º, it has a built-in flash and a built-in AF illuminator (Assist lamp). It also has an Exmor R CMOS sensor and a BIONZ X image processing engine. Its customizable ring is borrowed from the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100,[2] around the front of the lens. The camera also has built-in Wi-Fi with NFC with downloadable apps, but no GPS.[3] The WX500 features Optical Image Stabilisation.
Its sibling is the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V. Its predecessor is the DSC-HX50V,[4] and its successor the DSC-WX300.[5]
