 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V - review |
I have been dreaming about a "big" camera for a very long time, I wanted something not very expensive, but not the worst. And finally my dream came true, my husband gave me a Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V camera.
I fell in love with him at first sight! It fits very comfortably in your hand, a good zoom, the screen can be adjusted, and the main thing is photos. It's like he knows exactly what I want, sees with me in unison! After a simple camera, the photo quality of which is the same as on the phone, it's just perfect! I can't get enough of my new gift! For a beginner photographer, or just for a family album. This camera is just perfect!
Almost a professional camera with a large set of functions. I take the choice of equipment in my home very seriously. About this, I never have spontaneous purchases. I choose very carefully, compare characteristics, read reviews and of course try to save a little. I really like to take pictures, but I have never bought a DSLR. It's expensive and there are a lot of problems with the settings. This is my fourth camera in 10 years, and all the previous ones were also sony. Since I already bought the first sony digital camera, I decided not to change the manufacturer's company. All cameras are similar in both menus and keys. So when buying another sony, I don't even read the instructions. All the previous ones were small soap dishes, but here it looks more like a mirror. It's not a lot bulky, but it has a lot of things in it. Most of all, I like the zoom video function, so you can also take photos in video mode. I'm not talking about standard panoramas, 3D image shooting, macro photography, face recognition, smiles and much more. Even though I've had it for six months, I haven't even studied half of it. I really like the built-in help function, which is not clear, I go there all the time. Having chosen this camera, I waited until the prices fell a little. And waited. I have a camera without GPS and it costs 2000-3000 thousand cheaper than with GPS. I personally don't need this feature. I already remember where the photo was taken! I am very happy with my choice, I hope I will buy the next camera in 5 years!
In general, I had an ordinary digital camera and always dreamed of semi-professional, not super fancy, of course, but so for home use. And one day, my husband comes home from work and gives it to me! There was no limit to my joy.
In general, here is actually my review. It is not very huge in size, it fits comfortably both in my small hand and in my husband's hand. It weighs only 500-600 grams. There are not so many buttons, everything is quite clear. there are more functions. to study and study them! And what photos are obtained, fly away - everything is clear, the colors are saturated. What surprised me is that it's a zoom, it's an amazing sight, you can shoot like a bug - cockroach, literally look into their eyes, and you can shoot what is on the opposite shore of the lake and it's not a joke, and the quality remains clear. I upload photos here, many of them do not even pass through the processing of the site and are not loaded, they are too good. There is also a rotary screen, I thought why, but it turned out that it is much easier to take pictures with it! And what a video, my God! It's as if you are watching the action with your own eyes, and not through a camera or a computer. The battery holds for a long time. Many different effects: GPS. 3D. Red, blue, green highlighting modes. Panoramic shot. In general, we still have to study and study it. I can say that my husband is like a child every time he rejoices at the discoveries in this photo, how gorgeous he is!
There are many opinions about the quality of Chinese goods, I know. But mine - here the Japanese did things! Expensive, but beautiful, even not, stylish, functional and reliable, however, Soviet pliers are still more powerful, and no one has canceled the joke about the Japanese chainsaw.
I have no questions about the object of the review, just two complaints:
1) Proximity sensor - if the display method "screen/ electronic viewfinder (EV)" is not determined when the camera is turned on, then switching between them will be automatic based on the signals of the infrared sensor next to the peephole. The downside is that you can't poke a nail into it once and for all to indicate it. For example, I don't like EV - it has a resolution of 200k, the clarity is worse than that of the cheapest smart for today, there is no question of any evaluation of the focus.
2) Macro mode. I'll warn you right away - I'm not removing the star, maybe I'm a crooked hand myself. I couldn't make clear pictures, for example, coins - the same smartphone makes it easier and more accurate, but as many drown for "yes, my smart camera will stick," no, it won't, the general plan is for photographic equipment, and don't argue.
Specifications: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V 18 megapixel camera (Sony Cyber-Shot Dsc-HX200V) is a super-zoom with a small matrix with a 1/2.3-inch sensor, which appeared on May 11, 2012. The average number of frames per battery charge in this class of cameras is 255. Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V is able to make 450. Body dimensions without lens: 122 x 87 x 93 millimeters, weight - 583 grams.
Incredible zoom. More precisely, the buzzer is 30x! This is at least an indicator of a good tourist telescope. And even for a novice young astronomer, such a tube is also suitable, is it worth remembering the portrait mode of neighbors in the window of the skyscraper opposite? Zoom is also a huge help when shooting animals - they don't twitch when they don't see the photographer. In general, it's a great idea to shoot animals on it - the matrix is small, slightly larger than in a smartphone, the rate of fire is good. There is almost no blurring, if the photographer is not a Tortilla, of course, sluggish and not a twitchy netflex operator. Nice camera both externally and in the hand. I'll note - shoot the video with your hand raised high above your head for 5 minutes? Yes, no question, thanks to the paragraph below, it's generally super.
Folding screen. If you have never had such a thing, try to imagine that you can shoot "Macedonian" from the belt (without "shooting", people often twitch, although my object may be on the horizon, just a hag-the lens scares) or with your hands raised high. With the shooting of a worse video - a couple of hours of a concert and that's it. If the camera just lies in the bag and gets it for half an hour once a day, then it may not require recharging for three weeks. An important remark is that I usually turn off the camera after almost every frame and keep the screen brightness settings to a minimum.
Menu. Simple as 5 kopecks. Everything is in plain sight and there is no check for stress-resistance, as with many cameras, including those with a higher rank. There are training programs.
Video shooting modes are different: 1920 x 1080 (60 fps), 1440 x 1080 (60, 30 fps), 1280 x 720 (30 fps), 640 x 480 (30 fps)
Results:
I recommend it, but not insistently - the camera is in fact an ultra-smart. That is, the magnification is excellent, the lens is super, the electronics are daring... But the matrix with a cuckoo's beak is small (1/2.3", 6.17 x 4.55mm, you will NEVER get ringing sharpness)... The bonus is a rather dusty model (in good condition it is difficult to find on sale, but it is possible). If I need a camera urgently now, I will watch only one option, and not in the store (buy a camera for 50k, well, not without me) - Sony Nex-5 or 6. On boards of the yula / avito type, they can still be found in excellent condition (I'll note about the check - with a magnifying glass, you need to look and check all modes, there are usually no guarantees for used things).
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V is just a fairy tale! I've been choosing which camera to buy for a long time and decided on this beautiful Sony +Carl Zeiss duet. The result exceeded expectations! First of all, it fits well in the hand and at the same time has normal access to all functions (buttons). Zoom control in two ways: with a button and on the lens, and when shooting a video, it is better to use the wheel on the lens, since the button clicks and you can hear them when viewing, but not with the wheel. In the process of shooting a video, you can take photos.
The menu has a built-in help (help) for the user. Many shooting functions of your choice: panoramic photo (horizontally and vertically), super auto mode, auto program, intelligent auto mode, scene selection, and of course the modern fashionable 3D mode. With such a device in hand, everyone can feel like a professional photographer.
SONY DSC HX200 – I Recommend!
