Revainrating 4 out of 5

The product is of good quality, there is only one minor defect.

Before deciding whether to take this camera, ask yourself the question: do you really need optical zoom in the 15x-50x range? Shooting handheld at this magnification without blurring is very difficult, everything jumps in the viewfinder. If your answer is YES, I REALLY NEED TO SHOOT AT 15X-50X Magnification, and you don't have a budget of tens of thousands of dollars for just one lens, and the subjects are well lit, then this camera can be an interesting way out. My theory is that since the…

Pros
  • Large zoom and many hidden features, you can shoot through the viewfinder (bright day) or through the LCD screen (dark night)
Cons
  • Weak image detail, saves only jpeg, minimum aperture 8

Product is disappointing, not what it promises.

By occupation, tired of repairing DSLRs, of which none of them finished up to their 10,000 shots without problems, I decided to buy a good digital camera, when it was a Sony Cyber-shot 100 there were good memories, with a fool, as it was available, I took Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX400, having read about weak batteries, immediately took a spare. The surprises started on the first day! In the middle of shooting, the camera, with a partially filled memory card, for some reason decided to format it and

Pros
  • so far nothing
Cons
  • very weak battery, it is impossible to shoot on the move, the video is mediocre

Just super, the product is made wonderfully, very satisfied.

I bought it for my birthday back in December 2022. зa 15990 рубДo этoгo, немнoгo в свoё время, влaдел цифрoвым SONY W50(6-мегaпикселей, фoтo oн делaл прoстo шикaрнoгo кaчествa, a пo свoему рaзмеру (мaксимaльнoму) oни дaже в мoнитoр кoмпьютерa не влезaли, при 100% рaссмoтрении),пoэтoму и oстaнoвил my choice on SONY, I liked the optics and the quality of the photo. The many hut him, the sole fiotic, and the Matritsa, the outbreak of reflection is used, from which the FTO, 4.55 x 62022mm, the…

Pros
  • A large optical zoom (no need for a cloud of lenses at different distances), very high ergonomics of the entire device, there is a flash shoe, and there is everything in it that a modern digital camera should have.
Cons
  • The rear screen does not turn to face the camera for the stowed position, always facing the street - you can scratch it.

A very high-quality product, I take it not for the first time.

The camera is just great. On a vacation trip, it is simply indispensable on a sunny day to shoot perfectly through the video finder. I myself shoot in superauto mode and everything is great, and my daughter figured out with manual settings and sometimes at night she shoots craters on the moon and really like in the Hubble telescope) And on the topic of which camera is better, give any device in crooked hands and it will turn out well .

Pros
  • Great zoom, great intuitive functionality like all sony devices. Excellent semi-professional camera. The quality of the pictures is just great, a lot of automatic modes. Takes great pictures in any light.
Cons
  • There is no rope to the lens cap.

I'm not completely satisfied with the product.

If it weren't for the geometric distortion of pictures in the corners at small focal lengths and the blurring of pictures in automatic modes, the device could be classified as the most successful ZOOM in the semi-professional segment. But . One feels the retribution for the large ZOOM and versatility. The lens does not reach the semi-professional, which is a pity, the device would have turned out outstanding. Also upsets automatic exposure. The processor does not handle ISO well. The pictures…

Pros
  • Nimble, excellent stabilizer, advanced manual focus, decent video recording, good lens aperture, excellent ZOOM, the ability to install filters, an informative menu, a viewfinder, a connector for external devices, support for data transfer and control over Wi-Fi, as well as DLNA.
Cons
  • The battery is rather weak, the lid is without a cord, the display does not cover, soapy pictures, geometric distortions at small focal lengths.

High-quality product, the price corresponds to the quality.

I took it as a camera for the family, I have been using it for three months now. For all the time only positive impressions. The camera is very easy to learn, you can control it with one hand and you don’t need to go into the bowels of the menu, everything is very simple and clear. The only thing in my store the seller set in the video recording parameters is 50p so that the video is smoother. The yellow camera mode (on the mode ring) saves when I take pictures in a dimly lit room or in the…

Pros
  • Excellent quality for both photos and videos. Battery life, the day of shooting holds without problems. Yes, and even auto modes, he has a tricky mode for shooting in low light.
Cons
  • An insignificant (for me) trifle, that would be a little more resolution in the viewfinder.

Its not a good product, its a pity that I spent money on it.

Thank God I rented it. For high-quality video shooting - not good. Day or night - soap/noises. For photos, the same is not good, except for photos in Instagram. Amateur device, it is not known for what purposes. If you want a high-quality photo - take a mirror with APS-C and a larger matrix with a suitable lens, for video - a more expensive and modern tool. 1/2.3 is ridiculous, given the results that inexpensive smartphones show. On "this", for such money (32 thousand on the official website)…

Pros
  • Fast lens, but it won't help. Good shots in daylight, some at night. Zoom x50
Cons
  • Soap in the photo, soap in the video, noise in the photo at a zoom of more than 25, noise in the video + watercolor. Scanty matrix 1/2.3. Battery.

Overall it's good but I expect more, there are some downsides.

I own a Sony Alpha A55 DSLR with lenses: 28 mm. f2.8, 18-55mm. and 55-200 mm. The DSLR is not new for a long time, but in comparison with this "fart" it is much better executed, at least holding the A55 in your hand you feel a solid and high-quality thing, which is only a pleasure to use. And when you take this fart, tears well up in your eyes, and when you see the result from this camera, you want to cry :)

Pros
  • 1. Ultrazoom 2. Video (under sufficient light) 3. Lens
Cons
  • 1. Photo quality can hardly be called good. In bright, sunny weather, it shoots more or less well, if, for example, you shoot a landscape in a park where the lighting is a little worse, the photos are flooded with noise. This also applies to video in low light. Unfortunately, the lens does not pull this matrix! A marketing ploy to put a good lens on such a small matrix and smother it with built-in photo processing, which suits soap and watercolor in the photo. 2. Body. Very flimsy, in the hand the camera is a toy. Holding it in your hands, there is no certainty that this is an expensive good thing, unfortunately.

I didn't see good quality, solid disadvantages.

In general, this camera is some kind of crap, roughly speaking. After the first use with a tripod, the mount appeared chipped, or rather it looks like the plastic is crumbling. And after the second use on a tripod, I see that the metal part is staggering. Is it like it doesn't support its own weight? Or it's just that the HX400 model itself did not come out well or they were all assembled with a marriage. HX300 I think will be stronger. It's a pity . so it shoots video with high quality, but…

Pros
  • Purely electronic stuffing is wonderful. The video is very good Photos in terms of colors, brightness, etc. are fine
Cons
  • Maybe I got some kind of "left-gray" device (although where did it come from in the aliexpress .), but the case is flimsy, and why didn’t I immediately pay attention to it . And it’s bad that you can’t connect anything to other firs. When you change the zoom, the sound is very loud, terribly loud

Nothing special, there are positives and negatives.

I own 2 years. The first thing that surprised me was the quality of the photo! It's just terrible! At the level of a smartphone with an 8MP matrix! At first I thought to fix everything with the help of manual settings, but alas, this did not lead to anything! Soap climbs with terrible force! The foliage of trees, for example, seems to be some kind of green mess. (in the afternoon!) The noise reduction algorithm is very aggressive, it is impossible to turn it off, only two levels of noise…

Pros
  • Zoom ratio, "store sony" apps, screen, high quality carl zeiss lens. Autofocus.
Cons
  • photo quality, flimsy, completely leaky body, weak flash and battery.

Never buy this product.

Judging by the reviews, I was convinced that on Ya. M. PR people work, now I’ll explain why: 1) The quality of the photo is really poor, I have an iPhone 5 that photographs an order of magnitude better, really a cut above ! This tiny camera in the phone takes better, clearer and less noisy pictures. Even with good daylight, Sony makes noise at ISO 200 ! How so? My Pentax K-5 at ISO 3200 does not make as much noise as Sony at 200! - Didn't get a single completely clear photo on it! Either the…

Pros
  • It works and it has all the advantages!
Cons
  • - Wretched just the quality of the photo; - High price (for this cost you can and should take a DSLR); - Weeds when working with a PC; - Poor WIFI sync

It functions perfectly, nothing unusual.

I have been using the device for almost 5 years. Most of all I like the zoom and the quality of the photo! The flash is powerful. Smartphone remote control is good. Many unnecessary functions and filters for this device. It would be possible to make a "holder" on the lens cap to hang it when shooting, otherwise you can lose it . I am very pleased with the device! Of course, DSLRs will shoot better, but only when changing lenses.

Pros
  • Zoom! Photo quality.
Cons
  • Sometimes the focus takes a long time to think.

Product satisfying the quality of the product, good price.

The camera is very comfortable, pleasant to use, has a wide range of settings. Lots of scenes and artistic filters. Intuitive menu, hint system, built-in help - ideal for beginners. The form factor is close to a DSLR, but the weight is much lighter, you can carry it on your shoulder all day, it doesn’t interfere. The grip is comfortable, the handle is rubberized, does not slip. The zoom is quite decent, coupled with digital zoom gives simply amazing results. For me, the camera would be ideal in

Pros
  • Many settings, fully manual control, artistic filters, light, fits comfortably in the hand, clear menu
Cons
  • The only one, in my opinion - "soapy picture"

The perfect purchase for me, exactly what I was looking for!

Guys, it's absolutely pointless to compare with a DSLR! A 1/2.3-inch backlight matrix and APS-C are like comparing a tram with a tram handle. She just physically can not take so much light. Is it bad? Not! The purpose of this device is completely different - it is a compact ultrasound and should be nearby when traveling, walking . always and everywhere. He must not miss anything. That's why automation is so fast and fierce. For this reason, even advanced amateurs will be bored with him. There…

Pros
  • - excellent optics - very cool stabilizer - lightning automatic - video quality - the ring in when shooting video can work as a manual focus (this is very lacking in amateur cameras) - grip and dimensions
Cons
  • - still crunches a little in the place of grip

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

I have been choosing between the HX300 and HX400 models for a long time. Successfully bought HX400 for 20 thousand. I bought in the majority for landscape photography in various conditions. I am satisfied with the quality of the photo, but I always process the pictures in Lightroom. If you need a good camera with photo quality close to basic DSLRs, this is the best option. My overall score is 4.5 Removed 0.5 points due to glare

Pros
  • + zoom + stabilization + photo quality +NOT autoflash +shooting modes + aperture is not 2.8-6.3 as it is written in the characteristics on the Market, but 2.8-8.0 (with manual settings), which is undoubtedly better +NFS + there is noise reduction, unlike the younger model +manual focus change + decent battery life
Cons
  • - glare when shooting against the sun, even with anti-reflective lens coating -not very high-quality plastic case (does not affect the quality of the photo) - there is no rope on the lens cap (the problem is easily solved, there is a holder for the lens cap in many online stores from 50 to 200, there are no problems to find) -average quality viewfinder (I personally never use it) -due to the small matrix, photos in the dark are not of very high quality, the problem disappears completely if you use a tripod and slow shutter speeds when shooting, lowering the ISO below 400-320, you get great pictures
