Basically extends the optical view of the new Sony DSC-HX10VS Cybershot digital camera to divine their good handling already. The rough surface on the front side provides excellent grip. Likewise, a roughened body was attached to the back for the thumb. The positions of the keys move against the standard - while Sony is in the processing of a high-quality metal housing. Accordingly, the digital camera with your 234 Gram is not necessarily a lightweight, yet compact enough to easily stow in a jacket pocket.
Menu:
However, the menu holds some problems, especially at the beginning, as well as technically advanced users need through the vast range of functions for a relatively long period of familiarization. The abundance of each function is above average in every case and the normal users should this fact of many intuitively usable features overwhelm a bit. At least in the initial period, it just requires a lot of patience to read up to deal with the functions and of course try anything even once. Only in this way can be found out eventually, which of these functions at all for a person of importance. I can well do without the GPS module, are provided with the photos with latitude and longitude, for example, (by the way: complicated turmoil in the main menu for activation and also a real battery hogs).
But while the GPS module certainly in which one or the other is often used to get out a large number of users in the miniaturization and the HDR mode. Also, the 3D mode is more a nice gimmick rather than a useful advance. They are joined by, among others, still the effect illustration, watercolor effect, Extracted color. I know these effects in many other models, letting them now times are quite fast on the page and moves on. However, regardless of one benefits the most from the brilliant Exmor CMOS sensor, which provides a significant improvement over the simple image CCD sensor. For example, in the field of noise suppression, this sensor works absolutely satisfactory.
How is it used by Sony, the Japanese have a comfortable range of different shooting modes offer especially for your upscale models. Most are familiar with and have to be erläutet not detail at this point. For a brief overview of the most important function of many users: the "Intelligent Auto". We know this from other manufacturers, basically you have not even really do anything, except to press the shutter at the right moment. Sony on the other hand support a case by one of the ten scene modes and sets plus a facial recognition, the dynamic range optimization and the image stabilizer.
But if that's not enough should, for there is the "superior automatic" with the additional features Backlight Correction HDR, Anti Motion Blur and Handheld Twilight mode. After triggering the camera combines multiple shot in series photos in order to improve the image quality. A fine thing. Not to be forgotten are the beloved 180 ° panoramic images, mature models only from Sony at the end of the flicker in my view on the screen.
Image Quality:
If the quality of the pictures Sony wanted to Cavalier customers first led around by the nose. Because crazy 18-megapixel speak very very rare for an equally convincing image quality in the field of digital cameras. In addition, and this really annoyed me then that Rüppelhaftigkeit to go up to ISO 12,800. Bullshit. What you get in this utopian resolution? absolutely unusable results in every imaginable situation. But regardless of up to ISO 800 are highly recommended the images. And because I had ansgesprochen the plethora of choices at the top - in the case of color qualities can help out manually. Many images of the Sony cameras are too light to filling, or generally aligned differently, how it themselves perhaps imagine. And as there are three settings via sliders to adjust brightness, hue and saturation.
Video feature:
About the video function not much has basically written because convinced the quality, we have a full-fledged Full HD mode (1920 x 1080i) including silent zoom function.
Other:
Unfortunately, deals with Sony, the trend continues to dispense supplied to an external charging. Charged is the camera either via a USB port, or by the supplied AC adapter. Thus, I recommend in this model a second battery and an external charger accordingly. The battery life is the way to specify with 340 pictures - but this video and image processing are excluded.
Result:
Overall, the Sony DSC-HX10V Cybershot digital cameras offer primarily a jam-packed functions. The equipment is huge, as is the image quality and the 16x lens with 24 millimeter wide angle. The zoom lens works well and remains for me the only real point of criticism the matter with the 18-megapixel resolution - which is Verarsche and no longer really belongs to the present time.
