That’s great for shaving off every last millimetre and gram, but you’ll need Spiderman’s grip levels if you want to shoot one-handed without the pavement adding its own styling cues to the camera. Having those sleek lines punctuated by ergonomic finger and thumb ridges really wouldn’t do though, so you don’t get any. It’s not the widest lens on a compact camera, but it is wide enough to cover most group shots whilst still giving you enough zoom reach to capture plenty of distant subjects. What’s particularly remarkable about all this space saving is that Sony has still managed to cram in a 10x optical zoom lens with a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 25-250mm. But on the upside a ready-to-shoot weight of 122g makes this camera tip the scales at roughly the same weight as a typical smartphone. In the quest to keep the DSC-WX220 light as well as compact, the predominantly plastic casing means the camera doesn’t feel especially tactile and the door covering the battery and card compartment is rather flimsy. Although the raw 92.3 x 52.4 x 21.6 dimensions aren’t significantly less than your average compact camera, they do roughly equal the same length and width as a credit card, whilst rounded corners make this sleek Sony even more pocketable. The first thing that strikes you about the DSC-WX220 is its downright cuteness. There’s Wi-Fi connectivity thrown in as well, so you can transfer photos or even control the camera remotely, and all for around £179 / €229.

The camera isn’t short on features either, with thirteen effect filters and Full HD video capture with stereo sound. Sony’s Optical SteadyShot image stabilisation system is included too, so you should get sharp shots throughout the zoom range or in low light.

These days optical zoom reach is a key selling point over most smartphone cameras, and the DSC-WX220 manages to pack in a 10x lens with a versatile 25-250mm zoom range (in 35mm camera terms). It’ll fit in a tight spot, but still packs Sony’s 18.2MP sensor capable of a maximum ISO3200 standard sensitivity, paired with the latest BIONZ X processor. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX220 is an ultra-compact camera that doesn’t trade performance for style.
