The sony hx100v is based around a high-speed 1/2.3″-type, 16.2 effective megapixel, backside-illuminated, EXMOR R CMOS image sensor. The sony hx100v has a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* branded 30x optical zoom. As well as offering a brighter, slightly more generous wide angle, the sony hx100v lens offers a lot more telephoto reach, although even with the included Optical SteadyShot stabilization with Active mode, you’ll likely need good lighting for blur-free photos at the telephoto end of the range. A slightly stronger focal length crop for 16:9 aspect movies and stills gives a range of 29-870mm equivalents, while 4:3 aspect movies make wide-angle shooting harder, with a range of 36-1080mm equivalents.

You may choose another great digital camera that has also best features like sony hx100v, the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS. Compared to sony hx100v, it has a 5x optical zoom lens that provides a 35mm-equivalent range of 24-120mm. Maximum aperture varies from f/2.7 to f/5.9 across the zoom range. PowerShot ELPH 300 HS has included a true optical image stabilization system which combats blur from camera shake. The Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS lacks any form of optical or electronic viewfinder. The display measures 2.7 inches diagonally. It offers 230,000 dot resolution, which equates to roughly a 320 x 240 pixel array with three dots per color. Also, Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 LCD coverage is said to be approximately 100%. The Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 HS can record high definition movie clips at up to Full HD resolution, with a rate of 24 frames per second at the highest resolution. The PowerShot ELPH 300 HS offers quite a few playback options.

If you enable the movie-only Active stabilization mode, the crop increases even more, for a range of 30-900mm equivalents in 16:9 aspect, and 37-1,110mm equivalent in 4:3 aspect. Macro shooting is possible to as close as just 0.4 inches (one centimeter) at wide angle, or 6.6 feet (2 meters) at telephoto. The sony hx100v offers ISO sensitivities from 100 to 3,200 equivalents at full resolution. Around the lens barrel is a fly-by-wire ring that can be assigned to adjust either focus or lens zoom. The sony hx100v imager is its speed: It’s capable of of shooting as many as ten full resolution frames in a single second. As well as outright shooting rate, the sony hx100v burst shooting capability is also used to good effect in several shooting modes that overlay multiple captures into a single image.

Here is a summary of sony hx100v review from a satisfied customer:

Amateur’s Review of HX100V

1) I need a new camera with video. I wondered about getting a DSLR but then found a bridge camera to be more covenant (as far as size), flexible (as far as features, especially the zoom range) and more affordable.
2) I wanted a camera with tilt screen since I’ll be taking angled pictures and video. This feature does make a difference for me.
3) I hate Sony’s exclusivity to only their memory card. This camera did not have this problem; I can use non-Sony memory cards.
4) The 3-inch screen resolution on this camera was much greater than other bridge cameras. In my thinking, I’m using this screen all the time, so why not get the best resolution.
5) I didn’t care much for the RAW feature. I take pictures and don’t do much editing afterwards.

Both the hand-held twilight mode and anti-motion blur mode of sony hx100v aim to reduce blur in images, by capturing a number of images in a short burst and then combining them into a single image with the maximum possible sharpness and reduced noise. The difference between the two is that the latter mode creates the background from the entire group of images, and then overlays the main subject from one image only onto this background. The sony hx100v several Sweep modes combine panned image bursts into panoramic or 3D images, including a new Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR (High Resolution) mode allowing resolution up to 10,480 x 4,096 pixels, plus 3D Sweep Panorama, and Sweep Multi Angle.
