Electronic Viewfinder on Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 has a built-in Electronic viewfinder. There is no built-in or optional viewfinder available on Fujifilm FinePix XP130.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 features a 9 megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 28.1 mm². Its native ISO range is 80 - 3,200. Fujifilm FinePix XP130 features a 16.4 megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor with dimensions of 6.17 x 4.55 mm and a total area of 20.7 mm². Its native ISO range is 100 - 3,200 and expands to 100 - 6,400 in boosted mode.

Fujifilm FinePix XP130 has BSI-CMOS sensor, short for Backside Illuminated Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor sensor. In traditional CMOS sensors, the wiring and circuitry are located on the front side of the sensor, which can block some of the incoming light. BSI technology flips this design by placing the photosensitive elements (pixels) on the backside of the sensor, allowing more light to reach the pixels. This significantly enhances light sensitivity and improves low-light performance. BSI-CMOS sensors are particularly effective in low-light conditions, as they can capture more light, resulting in brighter and less noisy images. This makes them well-suited for indoor and night photography. BSI-CMOS sensors deliver a higher SNR and reduced cross-talk.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H50 can take pictures up to 3456 x 2592 resolution. It can also take pictures with lower resolution like 3456 x 2304, 3456 x 1944, 2592 x 1944, 2048 x 1536, 1920 x 1080, 640 x 480 with 4:3, 3:2 aspect ratios.
