Last week, Sony announced their latest compact cameras, the Cyber-shot HX90V and the WX500. We’ve already brought to you the HX90V specs which you’ll find nearly identical between the two cameras. That means you can expect the same phenomenal 30x optical zoom (60x digital zoom), built-in GPS, NFC, and 180-degree tilt LCD for your selfies. The only difference is a lack of pop-up viewfinder though you’ll have your choice of colors: red, white, or black. After the jump, the Sony Cyber-shot WX500 specs await you.
