The smallest 30x optical zoom camera
The HX50 is the world’s smallest compact camera with 30x optical zoom, GPS and image stabilisation - so you can travel light and get close to the action.

Get super close with a 30x zoom
A 30x optical zoom plus 60x Clear Image digital zoom lets you capture the most distant details. The BIONZ processor reduces graininess for high quality close-ups.

Experience 20.4 megapixels of detail
Take a photo with detail, colour and life. Zoom right in without sacrificing any of the detail with a 20.4MP Exmor R™ CMOS sensor and powerful BIONZ processor.

Focus super fast
From close-ups to twilight portraits, focus is adjusted automatically, so you can quickly and easily get the shot you want.

Hold super steady
The freedom to shoot crystal-clear pictures on-the-fly and without a tripod. Optical SteadyShot dynamically counters movements, even at zoom, to keep the picture in focus.

You're in control
With mode and exposure compensation dials, you can select aperture or shutter priority and change exposure values to you satisfaction.

Share a great shot instantly
With built-in Wi-Fi you can send photos and videos right to your smartphone, back-up shots wirelessly to your PC, or see them on your TV.

Connect to a Multi Interface Shoe
The HX50 is pocket-sized but has pro-style features. A Multi Interface Shoe lets you add a flash, viewfinder or microphone.
