It was just yesterday that we brought you news about the Sony Cyber-shot HX50V that houses a 20.4-megapixel 1/2.3-inch Exmor R CMOS sensor with 30x optical zoom. Like previous HX models, the HX50V provides a large LCD screen, high megapixel count, and a zoom that will make you think twice about shooting with your smartphone and gives you doubts on whether you really need that DSLR. Another feature that makes the HX50V stand out from other Cyber-shot models and competitor compact cameras is the hot shoe it sports on the top, which allows you to connect powerful flashes, OLED view finders, and stereo mic to name a few. While you might look a bit silly carrying around such a small camera with such a big accessory, after you import your pictures, its guaranteed that you’ll have the last laugh. After the jump, we have a gallery of the Cyber-shot HX50V with accompanying accessories and a video preview, straight from Sony to whet your appetite before the camera’s arrival at retailers later next month.
