Basically, it has the HX9V’s frame and 16x, f3.3-5.9, 24-384mm Sony G lens. The controls and shooting options are of the HX7V. Obviously, if you’re not familiar with either camera, all you need to know is that the HX10V has a nice lens, a virtuous assortment of shooting capabilities, and provides pleasing photos and video. This camera has 18-megapixel resolution and shouldn’t be used as a gauge of image quality. It’s essentially little more than marketing at this point. We can say the same for ISO sensitivities; the HX10V goes up to an unusable ISO 12800. In this camera Pixel peppers expecting sharp fine details free of noise and artifacts when photos are viewed at full size on screen won’t find that even at its lowest ISOs.
In this camera you can control the range of the Auto ISO mode, though, and there’s a customizable button that can be assigned to exposure reimbursement, ISO speed or resolution. Performance is ordinary, taking 2.5 seconds to switch on and while shooting and over three seconds between shots. This camera has the best resolution. Flash photography shots are up to 10 seconds apart.
Sony’s cameras normally turn out bright and vivid colours and that’s the case here. Nevertheless, if you’re not thrilled with its colour processing for a particular shot, this camera added simple sliders for brightness, hue and also saturation, so that you can tune them to your liking. Furthermore they’re available in the auto modes, which is infrequent but absolutely welcomed.
Movies captured by this camera are outstanding as well. In this camera the 60i frame rate and image stabilization make for some smooth movement. In this camera you will see some ghosting with fast-moving subjects, though, and things look a little over sharpened on occasion. It’s a single device for capturing good photos and videos; this camera provides one of the better choices available. The optical zoom also works while and the stereo mic is also good.
This camera provides a lot of shooting options that take advantage of its fast sensors and image processors. The people who like to leave it in auto then there are three options: Easy, Intelligent Auto and the third one is Superior Auto. Easy mode provides all options except for image size and enlarges onscreen text. This camera provides intelligent Auto picks from 33 scene types and turns on face detection along with it dynamic range optimization and also image stabilization. Superior Auto provides Intelligent Auto and adds three multishot modes: Handheld Twilight and Anti Motion Blur and also Backlight Correction HDR.
In this camera there is a full manual option for control over aperture and shutter speed. Shutter speeds are amendable from 1/1,600 to 30 seconds. Also worth mentioning is that in the best superzoom compact camera review, the HX10V has exposure and white balance bracketing that will take three photos, one at the acquaintance you select and then two more at 0.3EV, 0.7EV, or 1.0EV.
This extraordinary camera gets 5 out of 5 because of its camera features and shooting capabilities, and provides pleasing photos and video for all your family needs.
