The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX350 is a small travel-zoom compact announced in February 2014, positioned as one of the lightest cameras of its time to carry a 20x optical zoom. It replaced the WX300 in Sony's WX line of slim, long-zoom pocket cameras.
It uses an 18.2-megapixel 1/2.3-inch Exmor R back-illuminated CMOS sensor behind a Sony G 20x zoom covering 25-500mm equivalent, with Optical SteadyShot stabilisation. The BIONZ X processor enables Full HD 1080p video at 50p, there is built-in Wi-Fi with NFC for transferring images to a phone, a 3-inch 460k-dot LCD, and the whole camera weighs around 164 grams with battery. It runs on the NP-BX1 battery, shared with many other Sony compacts, and takes SD or Memory Stick media.
For UK used buyers the WX350 is attractive as a genuinely pocketable long-zoom camera at a modest price, with the common NP-BX1 battery making spares cheap and easy to find. It suits travellers and walkers who want more reach than a phone can offer without the bulk of a bridge camera, and steady demand for small 2010s compacts keeps these moving quickly in UK listings.
When buying used, cycle the zoom through its full range checking for noise or stalling, inspect the lens for internal dust visible at the long end, and confirm the flash pops up and fires. Test Wi-Fi pairing if phone transfer matters, as Sony's older PlayMemories app support has changed over time, and check the tripod bush and card door for damage. A genuine Sony NP-BX1 battery is preferable to unbranded cells, and chargers are often absent since the camera charges over USB.
