Sony WX220 weighs 121 g (0.27 lb / 4.27 oz) and has external dimensions of 92 x 52 x 22 mm (3.62 x 2.05 x 0.87″). Considering that the average weight of Compact type cameras is 188g, Sony WX220 is a remarkably light camera for its class. Even better, with a thickness of only 22mm, it is also quite small, 6mm thinner than the average of its class.

Weather Sealing

Sony WX220 doesn't have any environmental sealings on its body so you got to be extra careful to protect it against water and dust. If you shoot under these conditions very often, consider checking Top Compact Cameras with Weather Sealing page.

Sony WX220 Lens

Sony WX220 features a 25-250 mm F3.3-5.9 10× zoom lens. Lens has a good wide angle capability starting at 25mm, but with a reach of only 25mm, the lens acts more like a 'normal lens' rather than a telephoto.

Providing a max aperture of f0.00 at 25mm, this lens is remarkably fast on wide end. The long end ( 25mm) is also quite fast at f3.30.

Sony WX220 Sensor and Photography Features

Sony WX220 has a 18.0MP 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm ) sized BSI-CMOS sensor and features Bionz X processor. You can shoot at maximum resolution of 4896 x 3672 pixels with aspect ratios of 1:1, 4:3, 3:2 and 16:9. WX220 has a native ISO range of 100 - 12800 but unfortunately, Sony WX220 doesn't have RAW file support. If you need a Compact camera with a RAW support, consider Nikon Coolpix P7800 or Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II in the same price range.

Sony WX220 is not the highest resolution Small Sensor camera. Canon SX740 HS with its 21.0MP sensor is leading in this class. Check the comparison of Sony WX220 vs Canon SX740 HS or take a look at Highest resolution Compact cameras list.

Let's look at how the size of the Sony WX220's 1/2.3' sensor compares with other standard sensor sizes.

WX220 doesn't have a viewfinder and no option for external viewfinder. Lack of a viewfinder can be problematic especially under strong light where visibility of LCD screens goes down dramatically. If you need a Compact camera with a built-in viewfinder in a similar price range, consider Canon PowerShot G5 X (Compare) or Panasonic Lumix DC-ZS200 (Lumix DC-TZ200) (Compare).

Sony WX220 Connectivity, Storage and Battery

Sony WX220 Battery

Sony WX220 is powered by NP-BN battery which provides a battery life of 210 shots according to CIPA standards. Considering that the average battery life of Compact type cameras is 256 shots, Sony WX220 has a short battery life for its class so we strongly recommend WX220 owners to invest in some extra batteries.
