Sony CyberShot WX1 and WX1/B - what's the difference? Does anyone know the difference between the WX1 and the WX1/B models?

The /B marking is Sony's convention to say the camera has a black body, as opposed to the default silver. So, WX1/B is black and WX1 should be silver. However, at present I can't find WX1 listed anywhere, not even on the Sony site. So maybe at present it's any color you like it, as long as it's black! :-)

Hi Theresa. This is no difference. Sony only makes one HX50. Typically, the /B would indicate that the camera is Black. You can always call Sony at 1-877-865-7669 and they will be happy to explained differences, if any.

As the WX350 appears to use the same NP-BX1 battery as my RX100 (and the charger and batteries work very well for me), then the answer is yes. Also does a good job on the original Sony NP-BX1 battery.

Hi Gonzalo. First here is a URL to the B&H Photo site that gives a good description of the specifications: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/842931-REG/Olympus_V204040BU000_OM_D_E_M5_Micro_Four.html This camera does not have a wifi feature. For me it was a minor feature as I like to upload my photographs and then use Adobe Photoshop to crop and adjust my pictures. It also lets me take a closer look to see just how sharp the pictures are for enlargements. Still, for the money it is a super DSLR with tons of features and a wonderful size. I can pack a lot of gear into a midsized backpack to a full day of shooting. Hope this helps and thanks for asking. Oh, BTW: I am not affiliated in any way with B&H Photo other than the occasional customer.

Yes, the current black cyber-stations on the sonystyle web site. The new thin cybershot cameras (t70/t200) includes 1 plastic dock insert, thicker cyber-shot cameras should not need the insert since the dock can also adjust a little. The docks are a joke though, Sony at its worst this time disgusting even me (I have tons of sony crap), 1 purpose docks now, requiring purchase of multiple docks for multiple uses, but only 1 dock adaptor requiring purchase of another one/two of these too, and dont forget to bring you special cable or usb card reader since the average person does not have a duo card reader, and you cannot use a folding SD/USB card. So yourself a favor, return the Sony and get another brand, Canon, Nikon, Kodak, etc... anything with a universal SD card; check cnet.com for camera reviews. SD has folding SD/USB cards which you can remove, fold in half, and insert in ANY PC without needing special cables or card readers.

I owned the LX3 and loved it! Took it to the UK and it took outstanding photos that I eventually published in a Shutterfly book. I was able to blow up portions of pictures and the resolution was still beautiful. Then my son wanted to trade me mine for his because he wanted the RAW capability of the camera. I missed it. Just recently ordered the LX5 after returning the G12. I take a lot of photos of grandchildren and the G12 was so-o-o slow and sluggish that I lost a lot of photos. Can't wait to see what the LX5 will do!

I prefer the SONY camera. I even have an Old one model ( 1 Megapixel ) with night vision, and even today I've gotten wonderfurl night videos

Sorry - that camera did not last all that long, and I cannot recall. I do recall that it was problematic. I recommend looking at Sony's Cybershot line - we have owned 3 of those since 2000, and all have lasted longer than any other compact camera.

I agree with xapshot; No difference in quality or functionality of the two. Only two different marketing areas that Canon feels should kept apart. Concerning warranty I don't know the difference. I find it sensible to agree again with xapshot on that matter as well :)

If the C drive came before the B one, then why does Amazon marked the C one as "the newer model"?**so...the software of both are the same. i should buy the the B one (THIS one), right?

I'll be able to do a direct comparison soon, as I've got a PX312 coming in, after purchasing the VN-302PC. The specs and features are very nearly clones of each other, but I've found that the Olympus lacks some rather basic abilities that the Sony covers, such as a means of moving files between the 5 folders for organization. Also, the files recorded on the internal memory can't be moved over to the external memory card through the recorder; though it's easy enough to do when connected to a PC. It shows up as two separate drives on the PC, and the files remain uniquely named whether recorded on internal or external memory, so it's a simple matter to just copy them over. (If they reused file numbers on int vs ext memory then there would be an added complication of renaming before copying). I'd rather that the file names included the timestamp, like some other recorders do, but neither of these do that. Record quality of the Olympus is fine, so if the Sony does just as well, the Sony has more comprehensive features. The file erase process is better on the Sony as well, because it plays back the recording you're about to erase for confirmation before recording. With the Olympus you have to stop the playback on the target file first and be careful that it didn't advance to the next file, and watch the screen for the sequence of prompts to follow through with the delete process. I think the Sony method for deleting is better because it can be initiated while the target file is playing, and the playback of the recording as confirmation has less potential for inadvertently deleting the wrong recording. I believe the Sony also retains the time for at least a minute during battery changes, while the Olympus loses an hour or two and needs to be reset. It's not very significant since the batteries last so long, but so far, all the pros have been on the Sony side. When I get the Sony in hand I'll see if it actually performs as well as the Olympus

Shouldn't zs3 still be under warranty since it just came out 2-3month? I own both zs3 and tx1 (wx1's brother), and zs3's sharper pictures blows both tx1/wx1 under exposed pictures out of the water! the only thing that tx1/wx1 has over zs3 is low light, high iso images (new exmor r sensor and 6 stacking pictures), and easy panorama picture taking. I keep both tx1 and zs3 for different modes. zs3 for outdoor and flash pictures, and tx1 for low light, high iso pictures.

Hello Mary: To begin with, the camera you have is a Point & Shoot model (P&S), or all-in-one type. These kind of cameras are convenient because you can take them anywhere - in a pocket, purse, or whatever. But they have tremendous image quality tradeoffs and they employ a very, very small sensor. They often wind up displaying more levels of image noise and other artifacts than more advanced models. The GX1 is a Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Model of camera. It employs a much larger sensor and this translates into much larger per pixel sizes. As a result, the GX1 displays much less noise and does very, very well at much higher ISO scenarios. Yet it is still a very light camera, and depending on the type of lens you put on it, it can also be very compact. Now, most people who have a small P&S camera and want to "move up" tend to initially be leery about getting a larger, more advanced model. But you shouldn't be. This GX1 (I have two of them because it is such a nice model) will net you pictures that can knock your socks off - it's that good. When you get one, you can just put your camera into Program or Automatic mode, which means the camera makes all the decisions for you. But as you gain more knowledge, the camera grows with you, and once you really know what you're doing (assuming you're an amateur), the GX1 will really open up your eyes to what it can do. I can't speak highly enough of it and I do lots of photo work in various scenarios. I currently use around 20 different advanced cameras, yet the GX1 is one of my favorite models. And lately, with the almost "give-away" prices, you'd be a fool not to get one. If you want to see some photo samples taken with the GX 1, you can just email me at: benherrmann@centurylink.net and I'll gladly send you some so you can see the rich color tonality and nice definition of photos that this camera can generate.

It says X550 on the camera. There may be a difference in megapixels, this one has 16, the others have between 14 and 16. The more megapixels, the higher quality the picture. I've had a black version of this camera as well and this one is basically the same, possibly a little nicer basically because of the purple color to the camera. Hope this helps.

CX150 has been dead for a long time. Its replacement was the CX200, I prefer the CX300 of course. They just go up in quality and price. CX200 is the cheapo model and the CX400 is the reasonably expensive one. They have a lot more that just increase in price and quality. I prefer the CX300 because they are sub $50 and are great. The CX400 is ok, kinda overpriced for what they are, really just nicer looking CX300s. They with a holder, case, and a bunch of other stuff,

Still the same thing - as I understand it, the /B stands for 'black', the color of the camera. Kind of redundant at this point since it does not come in any color other than black that I know of, but perhaps they intend to make it in other colors later.

Ok so this is what I'm going off of. The Cannon SX10IS is the same price as the P90 but the P90 has 24x zoom and 12.1 MP... The price differential came from somewhere. I'm putting my bets on the image processor. I personally own the SX10IS and I could not be happier. My friend who owns the Cannon Rebel XSi tries to say how his buy is much more justified. So far the only things I have found better is his white balance, optional remote trigger, and the capability to shoot in RAW. Otherwise our cameras are very similar.
