Today's new camera test

[JohnClimber]

After my bulky Sony bridge camera died 3 years ago I bought a pocket Canon S100 with was a great camera but didn't have the big zoom of the bulky bridge camera.

Today I bought a replacement that will cover both cameras - Both pocket sized but with a super zoom


It's a Sony HX50 for £229


Can you see the TV aerial


That TV aerial


Times 30 optical zoom


Times 60 digital zoom

If you were any sort of a neighbour, you'd pop over and tell them their ridge tiles want re-pointing.
