The small weaknesses of the Sony DSC-HX7V
- Not reproduce natural colors - red is overemphasized -s. simultaneously strengths
- No color correction possible -also not sepia and black and white photographs etc. -nachträgliche editing on your PC may be required
- At all -> very little adjustment, sound settings (either from or loud Dauergepiepse)
- Plastic housing (right gummed) processing is unfortunately only acceptable and in the 300Euro class!
- No touch screen (well -Can you even argue about it)
- On and off times (.. Each 2-3 seconds, after changing the battery about 5-6 sec) is not a record - even if you change the view mode, it has the Sony no hurry: 2-3 sec, it may also here. be (in the menus but the Sony is then fixed properly)
. - And a minus point for many Sony products: Sony and accessories from other manufacturers, for example, batteries -da unfortunately there every now and then small problems
The great strengths of the Sony DSC-HX7V
- Bold colors -is a large red component erkauft- s also the same weaknesses.
- Bildqualtität and resolution are full for a compact fine
- Very good automatic function ("superior automatic") - so far found no reason for manual intervention - ALWAYS-Nahe-on-top result episode: hardly Committee!
- Strong with lightning color
- Surprisingly good recordings (video and photo) even in low light conditions (despite 16MP low noise!)
- Very good sound with video
-NO Zoom noises on the video recordings as well as a smooth zoom function
- Ok, the 10x zoom -very good wide angle - no noticeable pincushion or barrel distortion
- Background blur (Cropping) -More on this below
- GPS -Who the battery eater needs, for which it could be an important point to be power down only cumbersome via the menu
The Fokusier- and trip times are felt ok to fix. In some situations (bad light) need the Sony -da little longer they approved already by 2 sec. -My Two years old Samsung NV100HD is there much faster.
The background blur (Cropping) actually works quite well. The effect size is adjustable in 3 steps. However, neither cometh to the "almost total" Cropping a DSLR with powerful zoom lens zoom (s.Video). For me, a very important feature and an exclusion criterion for most other compact cameras (I want it). Which compact camera has the except the brand new Sony (z. B. the soon to be released DSC-HX9V) yet? Thank you for this great feature to the person responsible at Sony!
Bottom line, the small flaws of the Sony (Made in Thailand) are bearable. The strengths of Sony (the results of the photo-automatic and difficult lighting conditions and the video features) are in turn quite impressive and ensure that my old DSLR and my camcorder more often stay at home.
Even my previous Fast-Always-In-clippers -a 2 years old Samsung NV100HD- is indeed very good, but can not get the Sony ran (video, zoom, cropping, problematic lighting conditions) in key areas.
