Capture 20.4 megapixel detail, even in low light
Shoot detail-packed stills and movies, even indoors or in dim light, with the 20.4 effective megapixels Exmor R™ CMOS sensor.
 
BIONZ X™ for more detail and less noise
To transform data from the Exmor R™ CMOS sensor into high-resolution images, the BIONZ X™ image processor integrates detail reproduction, diffraction-reducing and area-specific noise reduction technologies. This combination makes it possible to reproduce realistic images of truer colours and textures with exceptional precision in real time.
 
Powerful zoom with less to carry
Travel, wildlife and more, everything’s covered by the high quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens with powerful 50x optical zoom.
 
Lock-on AF for enhanced photo opportunities
Simply press the shutter button halfway to activate Lock-on AF. It automatically adjusts the AF target frame size to match the subject size, improve tracking performance, and take full advantage of every photo opportunity.
 
Adjust light and exposure levels manually
Use the P/S/A/M manual modes to control the aperture or shutter speed and play with the creative effects in your photos.
 
Compose with a realistic view
Easily frame and view your shots and movies on the bright, high resolution 7.5cm (3.0”) Xtra Fine LCD screen.
 
Multi interface shoe
Attach a range of accessories to your camera, like external flashes, studio microphones, and more. The hotshoe powers these fixings to enhance your shooting.
 
Electronic viewfinder
Take the guesswork out of composing shots. A 201-dot resolution electronic viewfinder gives you a clear, real-time preview with 100% frame coverage – ideal for framing, focusing, and reviewing shots. A built-in eye-sensor automatically switches you between the LCD display and the viewfinder.
 
Shoot smooth, steady Full HD movies
Film smooth, steady video clips in Full HD 24p, even when you’re walking or zooming, with Optical SteadyShot Active Mode.
 
Get clear close-ups
A powerful 100x Clear Image Zoom fills the frame, for dramatic close-ups that always stay clear and detail-packed.
 
One-touch remote and one-touch sharing
One-touch remote lets you use your smartphone or tablet as a viewfinder and remote control for a digital camera, and one-touch sharing lets you transfer your photos and videos from your camera. Either way, by installing Imaging Edge Mobile app to your NFC enable Android smartphone or tablet, you can avoid complex set-up sequences and establish wireless connection simply by touching your device to the camera. You are now ready to control your camera from your smartphone to take a photo from a previously out-of-reach spot, or simply be in your own group shot, as well as transfer them instantly to your smartphone for sharing on SNS. No NFC? No problem. You can also pair the devices manually.
 
PlayMemories Camera Apps add personality
Enhance your creative expression with PlayMemories Camera Apps, offering a growing range of enjoyable applications that are easy to download. Not only do these apps give you greater functionality — they are the ultimate means of personalising your camera to fulfill your photographic aims. Note: Services availability depends on region.
 
GPS charts your course
The built-in GPS geotags photos and movies, so you can track your trip's shooting locations precisely.
 
Focus on the moment
After autofocusing, you can rotate a lens ring to use Direct Manual Focus to make fine adjustments, for fantastic focusing speed, precision and control for shooting macro and fast-moving subjects.
 
Shoot high quality pictures quickly
The BIONZ X™ processor is key to high-speed continuous shooting at 10 frames per second and finely detailed image quality.
 
Intelligent Active Mode keeps blur away
Have no fear of handheld movie shooting. Intelligent Active Mode, featuring Sony's advanced frame-analysis technology and 5-axis image stabilisation, compensates for camera shake. This mode reduces the blurriness that tends to occur in images when shooting handheld or shooting while chasing a subject in action.
 
Enjoy DSLR-like creative control
Get the shot you want with a manual ring for smooth zoom/focus, jog dial, custom buttons and memory for favourite settings.
 
Boost your flash photography
Advanced Flash brightens up dim scenes, lighting up subjects who are further away from the camera.
 
Add artistic picture effects
Add up to 13 different creative effects to stills, movies and panoramas without having to download and use image-editing software.
Capture full panoramas with movement and faces
Just press the shutter button and sweep the camera for extra-wide panoramas of landscapes, city scenes and packed parties.
 
Works with iMovie and Final Cut Pro X

Have had this camera before and loved the photos and ease of use. I hope this is as good. The previous one did have problems but we had extra insurance. Hoping this isn't the case again.
