The miniaturized design also has a knock-on effect of compressing the rear panel buttons together to a point that they're far fiddlier to use than on a larger Canon SX or Panasonic TZ model. It's no particular hardship, but a dedicated dial would be even easier. The older HX60V's useful exposure compensation dial has also been deleted from the HX99, and instead you'll have to nudge the rear panel D-pad down and use the surrounding control ring to adjust exposure. Once it bursts into life, the 1,440k-dot resolution is crisp and colour reproduction faithful.Īlso squeezed into the HX99's top panel is a pop-up flash, however including this, the EVF and the smaller case design means you don't get a hotshoe mount for attaching a flashgun or other accessory. You'll also need to pull the eyepiece towards your eye though, as otherwise the EVF won't activate when you go to use it, something that the most recent RX100 camera has fixed. Flick the release switch by your left hand and up it pops, powering the HX99 on in the process. Keen followers of the Cyber-shot range will recognise this from the premium RX100 series, and it ejects in the same way. The HX99 once again has a pop-up electronic viewfinder.
The 30x zoom lens is certainly impressive, giving a 24-720mm-equivalent focal range, which along with its small stature makes the HX99 very versatile indeed. It's noticeably smaller than the 30x compact camera competition from Canon, Nikon and Panasonic, and yet, despite this, it's definitely not short on features. Ease of Useįrom the outside, the HX99 looks and feels almost identical to the HX90V model that it replaces, so a lot of the comments that we made about that camera apply equally to this new model.Īt 102.0mm x 58.1mm x 35.5mm, the Sony HX99 is still the World's smallest camera on sale to feature a 30x optical zoom. The launch price of the Sony HX99 has increased significantly compared to the the HX90V, especially in the UK - whereas that model had an asking price of £339/$428, the HX99 now costs £450/$450.
Sony cyber shot 5 megapixel digital camera 1080p#
New features for 2018 include 4K video recording at 25p and 1080p at 100fps slow-motion, Eye AF, touch focus/touch shutter function, RAW format image recording, location data acquisition via Bluetooth, 10fps continuous shooting for up to 155 frames, and an expanded ISO range of 80-6400. Like the HX90V, it sports the same 30x optical zoom lens with Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T-star branding, 18 megapixel image sensor, high resolution pop-up electronic viewfinder, lens barrel control ring, wi-fi and NFC connectivity and a 180-degree flip-up screen. The Cyber-shot HX99 replaces the three-year-old HX90V as Sony's new high-end travel-zoom compact camera.
