Professional quality in your pocket
So compact and easy to use, the Cyber-shot™ WX30 digital camera offers extraordinary imaging possibilities. Step up to high-performance imaging with detail-packed stills, 3D and smooth Full HD video. Picture Effect lets you achieve impressive creative results with ease.

Brighter, better pictures
The more light your lens lets into the camera, the better. The top quality G Lens boasts a super-wide f/2.4 maximum aperture. Allowing more light to fall on the camera’s sensor, it's great for handheld portraits or shooting in dimly-lit interiors.

Better looking pictures made easy
Not sure how to pick the perfect camera settings to suit a particular scene? Don’t worry, help is at hand. Superior Auto Mode adjusts exposure and other camera settings for optimum results in a wide range of shooting situations.

Magical movies
Left your camcorder behind? One touch is all that’s needed to shoot brilliantly crisp, detailed HD 1080i video clips. Picture quality is wonderfully clear and smooth, while efficient AVCHD video compression keeps files smaller for storing and sharing.

Add a new dimension with 3D
Discover an incredible world of 3D imaging. Shoot 3D stills at the touch of a button. Capture wide 3D images to enjoy on your 3D TV with Sweep Panorama. Sweep Multi Angle creates amazing 3D-like views you can explore by tilting the camera screen.

Sensational images, even in low light
Many cameras struggle to produce crisp, clear images in low light. The revolutionary Exmor R™ CMOS sensor boosts sensitivity while reducing image noise for brilliant, detail-packed pictures.
