Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX100V 16.2 MP ”EXmor R” CMOS Digital Camera Review

When it comes to high Megapixel, feature-loaded digital cameras, few manufacturers have been doing things as well as Sony has for the last couple of years. Sony’s latest high performance digital camera, the Cyber-Shot DSC-HX100V is right in line with their other recent top performers.

With its 16.2 MP “EXmor R” CMOS sensor and amazing Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonar lens, this Sony delivers on its claims of blazing speed, high resolution, and awe-inspiring low-light capabilities. The resulting image clarity and the existence of virtually no discernable grain make for ordinary photos that are nothing short of jaw-dropping.

A BIONZ image processor allows for a class-leading, fast 10fps and other leading image enhancement in modes like:

• Anti Motion Blur
• Hand-held Twilight
• 1080i movie setting

The Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX100V incorporates these superior features in its base design:

• Ultra-thin and XtraFine 3.0 LCD with Trublack technology
• High-performance, 30x optical zoom Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonar T lens
• Gyro sensor driven optical SteadyShot image stabilization
• Incredibly clear movie recording capabilities at 60p in 1080 Full HD
• SteadyShot image stabilization which detects camera shake with a gyro sensor

Comments made by satisfied owners of the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX100V:

“I love the zoom lens on this camera. Wow! With the smart zoom and image stabilizer turned on, it can zoom up to 216x’s.”

“This camera takes fantastic pictures under any conditions I’ve yet thrown at it, it’s easy to use, and the battery lasts half of forever.”

“This is one fantastic camera.”

“This Camera is WONDERFUL … I had ordered & returned 4 Dig-Cameras in the past year …”

“Incomparable zoom … incredible accuracy and sharpness thanks to the Carl Zeiss design”

When reviewing cameras of this level, it is usually simpler to write about the things that are missing. In the case of the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX100V, it is more difficult to include all of the things that are “right” about the camera.
It has an amazing Carl Zeiss lens, electronics that match up with the best in the industry and ergonomics and design that satisfy even the pickiest photography beginners and pros.

You can relax with this Sony – it is a superior choice for nearly anyone that wants to take amazing photos.
