ZITATUnd es hat Zoom gemacht: Sony überzeugt mit Brennweiten-Rekorden und -Bestwerten
12. Februar 2014

Sechs neue Kameras von Sony folgen einer gemeinsamen Idee: Die neuen Cyber-shot Modelle dieses Frühjahrs kombinieren schickes Design mit neuester Fototechnik, zahlreichen Automatikfunktionen und einer optimierten Handhabung. Jedes Modell hat seine individuellen Stärken – die Top-Modelle eignen sich für die ambitionierte Hobby-Fotografie, andere für den unkomplizierten Schnappschuss.

Die neuen Cyber-shot Kameras von Sony lassen sich in drei Gruppen einteilen: zwei Superzoom-Bridgekameras, zwei Reisezoom-Kompaktkameras und zwei stylische Kompaktkameras. Konkret kommen diese Modelle in Deutschland auf den Markt: die Superzoom-Bridge-Kameras Cyber-shot DSC-H400 und DSC-HX400V, die Superzoom-Kompaktkameras Cyber-shot DSC-HX60 und DSC-HX60V sowie die schicken Kompaktkameras DSC-WX350 und DSC-WX220.

Cyber-shot DSC-HX400V: das Topmodell der H-Serie

Mit geballter 50facher Zoom-Power kann die neue Bridgekamera Cyber-shot DSC-HX400V glänzen. Das entspricht einer Kleinbild-Brennweite von 24 bis 1200 Millimetern. Wer den Klarbild-Zoom nutzt, dem steht sogar eine 100fache Vergrößerung zur Verfügung. Um gerade bei extremen Telebrennweiten ein verwackelungsfreies Bild garantieren zu können, brilliert die HX400V mit der neuen optischen "SteadyShot" Bildstabilisierung mit Aktiv-Modus. Verwackelungen können ab sofort aus fünf verschiedenen Achsen ausgeglichen werden. Die Full HD Videofunktion rundet die Fähigkeiten der HX400V ab. Apropos Video: Die neue Funktion "Motion Shot Video" ermöglicht das Erstellen von Bewegungsstudien nach einer Videoaufzeichnung und speichert diese anschließend als Foto – perfekt, um seinen Schwung beim Golf oder seinen Aufschlag beim Tennis zu analysieren.

Kraftvoller Kern der HX400V ist die neue Prozessorgeneration BIONZ X, die eine dreimal schnellere Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit im Vergleich zum Vorgänger ermöglicht. Kenner wissen: Dieser Prozessor ist auch Herzstück in höherklassigen Kameras wie der RX10 und der Alpha 7 von Sony. Er sorgt dafür, dass kein Detail im Foto verloren geht und reduziert optische Beugungseffekte bei kleinen Blendenöffnungen. Dank der höheren Prozessorleistung kann jeder Bildbereich einzeln analysiert und verbessert werden. Das ist gerade in puncto Rauschreduzierung bei unterschiedlichen Kontraststrukturen besonders wichtig.

Im Zusammenspiel mit dem 20,4 Megapixel CMOS Bildsensor und dem hochwertigen Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T*-Objektiv kann sich jeder auf sehr gute Bildergebnisse verlassen. Darüber hinaus darf bei einer Bridge-Kamera dieser Klasse auch der elektronische Sucher nicht fehlen. WiFi, NFC, GPS und die Triluminos Technologie lassen keine Wünsche in Sachen Konnektivität und Farbbrillanz offen.

Form und Bedienkonzept orientieren sich an DSLR-Kameras

Die Wertigkeit der Kamers drückt sich nicht zuletzt in ihrer Handhabung und ihrem Design aus. Die HX400V vermittelt dem Nutzer das Gefühl, eine Spiegelreflexkamera in der Hand zu halten – so stark erinnern Form und Bedienkonzept an eine Profikamera. Es gibt einen Stellring für die genaue Justierung von Zoom und Fokus, einen Schalter für den Wechsel zur manuellen Scharfstellung, ein Stellrad für die Menüwahl und Knöpfe, die nach Belieben mit Funktionen belegt werden können. Wahlweise darf sich der Nutzer auf die Blenden-, Verschlusszeit- oder Vollautomatik verlassen – oder auch alle Einstellungen selbst vornehmen. Selbst im Video Modus stehen Programm-, Zeit- und Blendenautomatik sowie manueller Modus zur Verfügung.

Cyber-shot DSC-H400: Bridge-Kamera mit Mega-Zoom

Das herausragende Merkmal der neuen Cyber-shot H400 ist ihr unglaublicher 63fach optischer Zoom. Einen so großen Zoom-Bereich weist keine andere Kompaktkamera mit 20 Megapixel Sensor weltweit auf. Entsprechend zum Kleinbildformat eröffnet die Kamera einen Brennweitenumfang von 24,5 bis 1550 Millimetern – also vom beachtlichen Weitwinkel bis hin zum Super-Tele. Letzterer eignet sich perfekt, um zum Beispiel Vögel oder andere Tiere abzulichten, ohne sie aufzuschrecken.

Dass in solchen Telezoom-Bereichen eine optische SteadyShot-Bildstabilisierung mit intelligentem Aktiv-Modus vorhanden sein muss, versteht sich von selbst. Mit 20,1 Megapixeln Auflösung ist auch der Super HAD CCD-Bildsensor ideal dimensioniert.

Das Gehäuse erinnert an eine Spiegelreflexkamera, liegt somit gut in der Hand und bietet Platz für einen elektronischen Sucher. Über ihre intelligente Automatik erkennt die DSC-H400 selbst die Aufnahmebedingungen und passt die Kameraeinstellungen automatisch den Gegebenheiten an. So entsteht immer das bestmögliche Foto, sobald der Nutzer den Auslöseknopf drückt. Ebenso erleichtert der Party-Modus, der die Kameraeinstellungen für Partyfotos automatisiert, die Handhabung. Videos filmt die DSC-H400 in HD Auflösung, eine Akkuladung genügt für bis zu 300 Fotos.

Neue Kompaktkameras für den unkomplizierten Fotospaß

Auch alle, die an Blende oder Verschlusszeit keinen Gedanken verschwenden und lieber sorglos im Urlaub oder auf der Party fotografieren möchten, können sich auf die Innovationskraft von Sony verlassen: Die neuen Cyber-shot Kompaktkameras erfüllen diese Ansprüche vollends.

Cyber-shot DSC-HX60/HX60V: die neuen Reisezoomkameras

Die "Zoom-Wunder" unter den neuen Kompaktkameras sind die DSC-HX60 (ohne GPS) beziehungsweise -HX60V (mit GPS). Ihr 30fach optischer Zoom lässt weit blicken – mit dem Klarbild-Zoom ist sogar eine 60fache Vergrößerung möglich. Aber auch der besonders lichtempfindliche Exmor R Bildsensor, 20,4 Megapixel Auflösung, das hochwertige G-Objektiv von Sony und vor allem der neue BIONZ X-Prozessor sind Highlights beider Modelle. Außerdem gehören der verbesserte optische "SteadyShot" Bildstabilisator mit fünf Achsen dank Aktiv-Modus, WiFi, NFC und eine Full HD Video-Funktion zu den Ausstattungsmerkmalen.

Cyber-shot DSC-WX350: so schlank und doch so kraftvoll

Das extrem schlanke Gehäuse der Cyber-shot DSC-WX350 bietet Platz für einen 20fach optischen Zoom. Damit ist die neue Kompakte die weltweit kleinste und leichteste Kamera mit 20fach Zoom. Der optische "SteadyShot" Bildstabilisator mit intelligentem Aktiv-Modus gewährleistet, dass Fotos und HD Videos ohne Verwackelungen aufgezeichnet werden. Auch diese Kamera stellt ihrem Exmor R CMOS Bildsensor mit 18,2 Megapixel Auflösung den neuen BIONZ X Bildprozessor an die Seite. Zudem ist die Kamera mit WiFi und NFC ausgestattet.

Eine Besonderheit der DSC-WX350 sind insgesamt 13 verschiedene kreative Bildeffekte – wie zum Beispiel die "Beauty-Funktion": Bei einer Portraitaufnahme beseitigen sie bei einer abgelichteten Person automatisch glänzende Stellen und Falten der Haut, so dass der Portraitierte immer gut aussieht. Ebenso ungewöhnlich ist die extreme Ausdauer der WX350: Eine Akkuladung genügt für bis zu 470 Aufnahmen.

Cyber-shot DSC-WX220: die stylische Kompakte

Auch die DSC-WX220 besticht durch ihr schönes Äußeres. Dabei täuscht die schlanke Form ein wenig über ihr kraftvolles Innenleben hinweg. Ein 18,2 Megapixel Exmor R CMOS Bildsensor, der BIONZ X Bildprozessor und der 10fache optische Zoom bilden ein optimales Gesamt-Paket.

Hinzu kommen bei der WX220 ebenfalls der optische "SteadyShot" Bildstabilisator mit intelligentem Aktiv-Modus, die Beauty-Effekte, WiFi und NFC und ein HDMI-Anschluss.

12 February 2014

Don’t worry about changing lenses while you’re out and about. The camera’s massive 50x optical zoom range covers any situation – from landscapes, family scenes and live concerts to dramatic close-ups of sports and wildlife.

If you want to go nearer still, Clear Image Zoom provides spectacular frame-filling 100x close-ups of wildlife or distant landmarks. With Optical SteadyShot and Intelligent Active Mode, Full HD videos stay sharp and blur-free – even at high zoom settings where handheld wobbles are a challenge for any photographer.

Every frame’s packed with rich detail, thanks to the premium-quality ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* lens, high-resolution back-illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS sensor with 20.4 effective megapixels and speedy BIONZ X processor that’s 3x more powerful than its predecessor.

And with full P/A/S/M controls, you’ve got all the exposure options you need to craft stunning pictures and Full HD movies.

Framing and focusing is a pleasure through the high-contrast electronic viewfinder that offers a crisp, bright view of your subject. Alternatively, compose and view shots on the 7.5cm (3.0-type) Xtra Fine LCD that tilts for a comfortable view with the camera held high or low.

On-board Wi-Fi lets you send photos and videos straight to your smartphone or tablet, while NFC connects effortlessly with compatible mobile devices at a single touch. You can even use your phone as a handy remote controller: perfect for group photos when you don’t want to be stuck behind the camera.

Motion Shot Video is a handy playback feature that creates a dramatic sequence of superimposed images on screen to trace every split-second of fast-moving action. It’s a fascinating tool for analysing your tennis serve, golf swing and other sports.

After shooting, connect you camera to your 4K TV and experience a thrilling new world of photo realism on the big screen. And with GPS on board, it’s easy to retrace your travels with exciting map views on your PC, documenting exactly where all your photos and video were taken.

Add options like a flash or external microphone via the Multi Interface Shoe to expand your creative options even further.

ZITATSony unveils the Cyber-shot™ H400 bridge camera with highest ever* 63x optical zoom
12 February 2014

* As of announcement date. Amongst digital still cameras with optical zoom.

- Class-leading 20.1 megapixels resolution for detail-packed still photos and HD video
- Massive 63x optical zoom with Optical SteadyShot for wobble-free close-ups
- Easy to use with DSLR-style body, electronic viewfinder, Intelligent Auto and dedicated movie button
- High-capacity lithium-ion battery lets you capture even more photo opportunities

There are high-zoom cameras. And there’s the incredible Cyber-shot H400 with an incredible 63x optical zoom range – the highest ever in a compact digital camera.

Nothing is out of reach of the extraordinary magnification range of the easy to carry, bridge-style Cyber-shot H400. Its huge 63x zoom (equivalent to 24.5-1550mm focal length in 35mm format) stretches from wide angle to super-telephoto, accommodating any conceivable shooting situation.

Grab outdoor scenes and expansive family group scenes with everyone in the frame. Or observe wild animals and birds from a respectful distance without disturbing them in their natural habitat.

Optical SteadyShot cuts the risk of blurred, jittery pictures – even at high zoom settings or when you’re holding the camera at arm’s length.

You’ll enjoy richly-detailed 20.1 megapixel photos that bring every memory to life. Or simply press the dedicated ‘Movie’ button and film crisp HD video clips to enjoy on your TV or share on the web.

All that shooting power doesn’t come at the expense of comfortable handling and easy operation. The contoured DSLR-style body feels great in your hand, with an ergonomic grip you’d expect on bigger, more expensive cameras. As an extra touch there’s an electronic viewfinder to help frame scenes accurately, even when you’re shooting outdoors in blazing sunshine.

Intelligent Auto takes the guesswork out of achieving top-quality results. The DSC-H400 automatically recognises a wide range of shooting scenes, taking care of exposure and other settings so you can focus on what’s happening in front of the camera.

Don’t worry about missing the special moment while you’re out and about. The high-capacity X-Series lithium-ion battery provides power for around 300 shots between charges – giving you more opportunities to capture the action in everyday situations or while you’re travelling.

If you’re out and about with friends, Party Mode automatically adjusts sensitivity, exposure and colour for vivid memories of those fun evenings together. Advanced Flash boosts the camera's sensitivity, effectively extending flash range to make further-away subjects appear brighter. It’s handy for indoor shots or dusk where your camera's built-in flash can struggle to reach the action.

The DSC-H400 high-zoom digital camera from Sony is available to pre-order now from http://www.sony.co.uk and goes on general sale in Europe from April 2014.
