Sony WX500 camera for vlogging

Sony sends the WX500 for a paid review; presenter recommends its affordability, flip screen, 30× optical zoom, compactness, light weight, and Wi‑Fi. Testing finds stable, fast zoom through 30×, usable 60× digital zoom, good macro focusing, but low-light video worse than his smartphone. No touchscreen is acceptable, but absent microphone input limits audio; because he rarely uses zoom, he returns to smartphone filming.

Practical testing reverses initial camera enthusiasm: portability and reach matter less than low- light quality, audio, and actual usage.
