Billigprodukt to overpriced price

The HX50V can convince with good technical values ​​and the latest technology for compact cameras on the data sheet. Unfortunately, this is not true in practice: The cheap production and therefore the high sensitivity to cold, heat, moisture, sun, sand and dust, the camera makes completely useless! My camera had just than a month works, including 2 weeks of vacation before she suffered a total loss due to condensation in the casing !!! Although I have noticed all user instructions in the manual, Sony is in water damage is no guarantee!

So if a camera for the beach or ski vacation or for pictures in the rain, looking at the water or in hot countries, with the HX50V especially badly served! Only for photos in buildings useful!

Other pros and cons:

(Provided there is no too strong zoomed) + Good image quality.
+ Many different modes.
+ Wheel to adjust the sensitivity to light.
+ Good Videos
+ Movie Button
- Image storage takes sometimes several seconds.
- The change of the mode is very sluggish.
- When zooming the picture quality suffers (high noise).
- Despite image stabilizer, it is difficult to shoot sharp pictures at high zoom.
- GPS is inaccurate.
- GPS shows on the camera only the coordinates.
- The GPS data (expressed nice, a very getting used to program) are evaluated only on the software PlayMemories.
- When the sun nothing can be seen on the display.
- The flash must be manually extended. Nevertheless, there is an auto flash mode. -> Very tedious.
- The period from pre-flash to the flash / photo is extremely long, so many photos miscarry.
