{"product_id":"sony-cyber-shot-dsc-w520","title":"Sony Cyber-shot DSC-W520","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe DSC-W520 came out in March 2011 as Sony's most stripped-back W-series entry at the time — 14.1 megapixels, a 25mm wide-angle lens, 5× zoom, and Sweep Panorama in a body just 21.2mm deep and 108g. No HD video, no optical stabilization, no manual controls. What it had was a Super HAD CCD sensor producing that warm, saturated early-2010s output, and a starting focal length of 25mm that fit more of the scene in frame than most rivals at the price.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eNO FILTER: SHOT ON DSC-W520\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003ecoming soon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold\"\u003eTHE LOOKS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn black, the W520 is a clean, unpretentious rectangle — 96.3 × 55.6 × 21.2mm with a smooth plastic front, the Sony lens barrel sitting slightly left of center, and the 2.7-inch LCD filling most of the rear. Minimal controls on the right edge, nothing protruding. At 108g it's one of the lightest cameras Sony made that year — the kind of thing that disappears into a pocket and stays there until you need it.

The 25mm wide end gets everyone in the frame, the Super HAD CCD delivers warm, characterful images at base ISO, and Sweep Panorama works in a single button sweep. No HD video and no optical stabilization are the honest trade-offs for the price and weight — but for daylight shooting and parties, this is exactly the camera that gets used instead of sitting in a drawer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57002931487095,"sku":null,"price":179.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0931\/2003\/7239\/files\/IMG_82812_result.webp?v=1776013745","url":"https:\/\/bling-inc.com\/products\/sony-cyber-shot-dsc-w520","provider":"Bling Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
