    From the Manufacturer

    Sony High Zoom Point and Shoot Camera

    Closeness is nothing without clarity. Enjoy 50x optical zooming, silky-smooth Full HD video and razor-sharp, 20.4MP pics—perfect for sporting events and all your adventures. Looking to capture the mood of a shot without the harshness of a flash? Low-light environments (think candlelight and campfire) maintain their warmth thanks to the sensitive Exmor R CMOS sensor.

    Technology

    50x Optical/100x Clear Image Zoom G Lens

    Get amazingly close with 50x optical zoom plus 100x Clear Image zoom G lens . Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.

    Shoot incredibly smooth video1 and stills

    Shoot incredibly smooth video1 and still images with the new BIONZ X processor and Optical SteadyShot (Intelligent Active mode). When the processor and image stabilization technology work together they deliver sharp image quality with low noise and minimal blur even while the user is strolling and the camera is zoomed in

    20.4MP Exmor R CMOS Sensor for superb low light images

    This camera features a 20.4 megapixel Exmor R CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the camera’s professional G Lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low-light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced grain. In addition, the combined Exmor R CMOS sensor and BIONZ X image processor delivers extremely fast up to 10fps, Anti Motion Blur, Hand-held Twilight and 1080p movie modes.

    Keep your subject in focus with Lock-On AF

    Lock-On AF gives you the ability to focus on multiple points with subject recognition to keep your subject in sharp focus even when in motion.

    Simple connectivity to smartphones via Wi-Fi w/NFC3

    Connectivity with smartphones for One-touch sharing/One-touch remote has been simplified with Wi-Fi w/NFC3 control. In addition to Wi-Fi support for connecting to smartphones, the camera also supports NFC (near field communication) providing “one touch connection” convenience when transferring images to Android smartphones and tablets. Users need only touch devices to connect; no complex set-up is required. Moreover, when using Smart Remote Control — a feature that allows shutter release to be controlled by a smartphone — connection to the smartphone can be established by simply touching compatible devices.

    Motion-Shot Video traces subject movement

    Motion-Shot Video traces subject movement on the camera’s LCD for a unique visual effect. Use this playback function on the camera to study form and pathways of subjects.

    Customers are mixed about the speed of the camera. Some mention it's fast, precise, and works well for birds in flight. There is almost no shutter lag, and it works well in low light. However, others say it' a bit slow, the wireless feature is somewhat slow, and the processing is slow. The wireless feature and the memory cards do not speed up the speed. The zooms in a little, causing a jerky recording, and slows the display.

    24 customers mention11 positive13 negative

    Customers are mixed about the focus of the digital camera. Some mention that the autofocus is pretty good, and the amazing focal range and easy portability, while others say that they could no longer focus and get clear pictures while using the telephoto feature, the only drawback is the relatively long minimum focus at full zoom, and that the camera tends to focus on the rain or snow as the camera is prone to blur. However, the camera delivers what Sony says it will.

    "...Autofocus is also a problem in rain or snow as the camera tends to focus on the foreground precipitation rather than the subject...." Read more

    "...The zoom range is fantastic, and the autofocus is pretty good...." Read more

    "...If there isn't a lot of light, it will hunt for focus until you or your subject gets tired of waiting! Ok, what I mean is you missed the shot...." Read more

    "...The autofocus for both photos and video is quick and solid. There is no better camera for shooting flying birds or aircraft...." Read more

    SONY stopped making the ideal birding camera
    An all in one with long zoom, and reasonable price. But be SONY now is greedy, wanting thousands of dollars from consumers who will buy multiple overpriced lenses and one pricey camera body.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Bridge Camera
    Reviewed in the United States on April 15, 2018
    There are a lot of reviews online about this camera saying that the image quality isn’t good. Ignore those reviews. This is an excellent bridge camera. A lot of people are expecting the image quality from this camera to be comparable to the quality you get from a DSLR, but that cannot be. The sensor in this camera is substantially smaller than the one found in a DSLR (crop-sensor or full-frame). Because the sensor is smaller, the dynamic range and overall image quality cannot be equal to the dynamic range and image quality of a DSLR. But if you know what you’re doing, you can use this camera to get some great images.

    I’ve had this camera for a few months now, and used it mainly to photograph birds, and I am extremely satisfied with it. The zoom range is fantastic, and the autofocus is pretty good. You can achieve pretty good bokeh (the quality of the out of focus areas in a photograph) and nice, shallow depth of field once you zoom in and isolate your subject. Colors are pretty true, and the camera can yield very sharp images provided your technique is good. I recommend that you use a tripod with this camera and any camera if you’re going to be using it in telephoto mode a lot, as I do.

    Being a bridge camera (a fixed-lens camera that is between a point and shoot and a DSLR), you’re able to use this camera in Aperture Priority Mode, Shutter Priority, and Manual Mode. There are some automatic modes, but I never use modes like those on any of the cameras I own because they limit your creative flexibility when taking photographs. You’re able to take HD video as well, but since I’m not too much into video I haven’t tested the video capabilities of this camera yet. But I have shot some simple, short clips of birds flying around, and those videos came out great.
    This is an excellent bridge camera, and I recommend it to anyone. Even if you shoot predominantly with DSLRs (like I do), this is still a great camera to have for those days you don’t feel like lugging around a bag full of lenses or a really heavy DSLR body.

    I've attached some photos I took using this camera so you can get a taste of the camera's performance. All of the pictures were taken in an aspect ratio of 16:9, and all of the photos were taken with the camera being handheld.
