| 2016 Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX20V review |
Digital cameras queen - The Sony HX20V takes over from the HX9V that we reviewed in 2013 as the front runner travel portable within Sony's Cyber-shot portable electronic cam array. There is, obviously, the HX200V with its 30x zoom, nevertheless offered the dimensions of that version it's much more of a superzoom/bridge camera than a travel compact. The HX20V, by comparison, loads a 20x optical zoom yet continues to be small enough to slide inside a trouser pocket.
Traveling compacts are particularly preferred at the moment with all of the main producers looking to get their share of just what is a very profitable market. Does the Sony HX20V have what it takes to beat either model?
At its heart the HX20V utilizes a 1/2.3 inch backlit Exmor R CMOS sensor that produces 18.2 MP of reliable resolution. This might only be a fairly tiny jump from the 16.2 MP resolution of last year's HX9V model, but it does suggest that Sony isn't rather all set to provide up on the megapixel arms race. The brand-new sensor is complemented by the most current generation of Sony BIONZ photo processer that enables the HX20V to contend a maximum 10fps (albeit for a maximum 10 consecutive structures) and also document 1080/50p Complete HD video. Sensitivity, at the same time, ranges from ISO 100 to 12,800.

Various other notable highlights, in addition to the 20x optical zoom consist of a Clear Zoom feature that permits around 40x magnification at complete resolution; Sony's own SteadyShot picture stabilisation technology for blur-free images at slower shutter rates as well as prolonged focal lengths; built-in GENERAL PRACTITIONERS with bundled software program that permits you to track your journey using Google maps; a generous range of capturing and also direct exposure modes; a choice of Photo Result digital effects filters; and last but not least a high-resolution one-touch Panoramic mode.
Sadly though the HX20V is JPEG only, which suggests it can't fire lossless Raw photos for improved editing possibility in an electronic darkroom. This does strike us as something of an omission given that the HX20V (or certainly other travel compact) is likely to be used in all sort of exotic and intriguing areas where a little bit of post-production might make all the difference. When more suppliers consist of Raw shooting on their travel portable versions as criterion, unnecessary to state we look onward to the day.
While there's no Raw, there are two JPEG compression setups to choose from: Typical (more pictures) or Great (much better quality). As well as while the sensing unit documents 4:3 photos by default, it's likewise feasible to fire 16:9 at a choice of either 13MP or 2MP.
Naturally, the big draw with the HX20V similar to all travel compacts is the convenience of having a massive focal variety to hand in a camera only a little bigger compared to a routine compact. In this regard the HX20V obtains a 20x optical zoom that supplies the 35mm focal range equivalent of 25-500mm.

Expanding its 20x grasp a little bit further is Sony's exclusive Clear Zoom innovation. This generally increases the reach of the optical zoom (approximately a maximum of 40x) while maintaining the complete 18.2 MP resolution intact. Trying it out, we were in fact fairly pleased with the outcomes-- not the sharpest whatsoever but certainly usable for Facebook-bound pictures and so forth. If 40x still isn't really rather sufficient then it's likewise feasible to use the Digital Zoom to reach an optimum 80x at 18.2 MP, 151x at 5MP or 306x when shooting at the VGA quality setting. Great luck obtaining anything also remotely useable at these settings!

The HX20V offers a good range of direct exposure methods, although absolutely nothing especially new that we have not seen on an advanced Sony compact prior to. There are Program and also Handbook options, as well as while the degree of individual control on both is fairly charitable, it's worth considering that the Guidebook method only supplies a choice of maximum aperture (f/3.2) and minimal aperture (f/8), with absolutely nothing in between to choose from. To puts it simply, it's not truly all that versatile.
Smart Vehicle is essentially an automated scene option mode, and also is capable of supplying continually excellent results. Superior Car mode, on the other hand, takes things one action further by automatically firing off several shots at as soon as when required (which isn't really constantly) and then blending the results with each other. In this respect it's like having an automatic HDR method at hand, although thankfully a relatively subtle one that goes for realism instead of dramatization. This makes it especially valuable for difficult lights situations, such as strongly backlit subjects.
The Sony HX20V takes over from the HX9V that we evaluated last year as the flagship traveling small within Sony's Cyber-shot small digital electronic camera array. There is, of program, the HX200V with its 30x zoom, nevertheless provided the measurements of that design it's much even more of a superzoom/bridge camera compared to a traveling compact. Traveling compacts are particularly popular at the moment with all of the major suppliers looking to grab their share of just what is an extremely lucrative market. Needless to state we look ahead to the day when much more suppliers include Raw shooting on their travel portable versions as requirement.
The HX20V offers a great array of direct exposure methods, although absolutely nothing specifically brand-new that we have not seen on a sophisticated Sony compact prior to.
