I have had this camera for around 5 years. It’s still my “go to” camera over my A-6000 and any phone. The picture quality is sharp and it’s extremely fast and easy to use. Like the other comments say, use it within its limitations and you won’t be disappointed
People have an odd mindset that just because smartphones are handy, they can rival dedicated cameras with bigger glass, much longer zooms, etc. The fact that phones are within easy reach is their main advantage but they have obvious limits.
I have this camera .Nearly all the complaints I have seen on reviews are when people fail to keep the camera within its limitations.I have done photographic club competition shooting for 40 years with everything from roll film medium format too the latest DLSR's every one has things that they are not good at .The WX350 is a great vest pocket travel camera with a zoom that works well for its price range.The video as with all camera shooting despite stabilisation benefits from either resting on something or in my case a tiny Manfrotto pocket tripod which I use a lot .Within its capabilities this is a great budget point and shoot and although not able to shoot RAW, with decent post processing software surprisingly good quality images are available from this tiny carry all the time camera.
@@selenamohammed6271 a bit slow on focusing especially for outdoor vlogs, but for the money it's ok. Also make sure you have sufficient light conditions.
Image quality in low light is actually better than you would expect for a camera with this sized sensor. I took the best city night shot from the top of a tower that I have ever taken with this camera. There is no image noise in the sky whatsoever (jet black) and decent colours and detail. No loss of colour which is really impressive. Even TV camera's lose colour in low light. I'd avoid auto in low light though as it tends to go for ISO 3200 which is poor. You really want to be using multi shot ISO if possible and limit to 800 and keep your subject still. In that environment all is well. Also avoid zooming in the dark as lens is slow at longer focal lengths. I actually haven't ever taken a picture better than it at night with an SLR or CSC camera. Indoors again you need to max it at ISO 800 and use multi shot ISO. Indoor colour could be better but it still beats my phone comfortably. Best shots outdoors are in auto. I keep program mode set up for indoor/night use.
Here it is 2023 and I am pulling my WX 350 out of the drawer to take back packing and I am not taking my Sony alpha 6600. The WX 350 is so compact and light that it is an excellent backpacking camera. the main thing I hate about it is no EVF. you have to use the back display, and in the sunlight, it is useless. Also, it is so frustrating that such a decent quality camera does not have aperture priority or shutter priority settings.
It is such a change to find a review that is totally unprepared. Prepared reviews tend to be boringly useful and frighteningly easy to understand, leaving any new owner with nothing to explore...
Which one should I choose? Wx350 or the Nikon 1j5 mirrorless? I'm not planning on investing on any other lenses than the kit one (10-30mm). I mostly want a travel camera but one that shoots significantly better than my Samsung phone. I would go to 1j5 if that's the case in matters of picture quality.

The wx350 is very compact -fits in a pocket!- and has good quality for day-shooting and for the price. The J5 is a bit more bulky, but has more options and overall I think is a better camera- if you don't mind the extra weight and size
@@allosMD I'm sorry I didn't see your post before I got to the store. I decided to go for the wx350. I believe nightshots may be worse than my phone's. But I have to check at a better screen to be certain. I think I regretted the purchase. Thanks for the reply
@@michaliskirmanidis4526 It's compact size and battery life will come in hand soon ;) . I was also dissapointed at first with its night performance, but once I found its limits I never use my dslr or phone during trips.
Flash is not supposed to work in video mode. With phone you can use the flash because it is actually a torch on the front of the phone but with cameras the electrical circuit increases the power supply's electrical current. This feeds a lot of energy into the xenon gas, which causes it to make a bright flash.
Hi I don't know if you've figured it out by now but maybe this still helps somebody. You go into the "P" mode and then go to the camera settings and then to point 2 and there's ISO in the fourth row. You can select AUTO, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600 or 3200
