Whether you're a fan of photography that moves and likes to have a quality camera in the hand without having to pack the DSLR regularly, or someone who speaks to go on vacation and the search for a small, practical compact with a large zoom, the market travel compact is currently awash with tailor-made templates for exactly for these purposes.
In recent months that we have reviewed a number of new-to-the-market compact travel, including TZ20 of Panasonic, Canon SX230HS and Fujifilm 102 to name only three. The HX9V that we have here is Sony latest contribution to the genre.
Launched alongside the HX7 earlier this year, the HX9 is the brother of the two, and as such, enjoys a longer zoom, but is otherwise identical to his little sister. Together, the two models to replace the Sony HX5 highly rated released last year.
Zoom 30 x, 16 2MP sensor Emore R, full manual controls, a LCD high resolution 3-inch Sweep Panorama of tip of the class of Sony technology, capture Full HD movies with stereo sound and built-in GPS feature the HX9V certainly brings a lot to the table. But is it enough to see the competition? Let's look more closely and find out…
The HX9V is built around a 1 / 2 3in of a CMOS of Sony Exmor R sensor that offers a 2-megapixel effective resolution of 16. This is welcomed by the most recent BIONZ Sony generation image processor which allows the HX9V to shoot continuously 10 fps at full resolution - if only for 10 frames at a time.
Standard sensitivity connects 100 ISO 3200. There is an option of high sensitivity tucked away in the menu scene mode that evokes a framework expanded, although used in this mode, even in near test Jet conditions we were not able to push the camera beyond 3200 ISO.
The 16 x optical zoom is mark as a Sony G lens, which is the highest optical designation of enterprise and more commonly associated with expensive DSLR lenses, designed for the Sony Alpha range. With its large diameter it certainly looks and feels well done, although full extension there is still a bit of game between extensions of canon.
Used optically zoom offers 24-384 mm with a maximum aperture of f/3.3 (24 mm) and f/5.9 (at 384 mm). The scope of the zoom can be more extended to 64 x by using the Digital Zoom of Precision or even at 115 x using Smart Zoom. However, as these two options are based primarily on the camera taking a crop by the sensor and then magnifying it, images shot in this way will show a net loss of resolution, with images shot in the extreme furthest 115 x providing only quality of VGA. Much "emergency use only" then.
Not to worry, even if, as the 16 x offered by optical zoom must respond to the overwhelming majority of situations. It should also be noted - especially if you are amateur photography wideangle - as the setting of 24 mm is one of the broader market and puts the HX9V on the same footing as the Lumix TZ20, Fujifilm 102 EXR and Samsung WB650. By comparison, Nikon P9100 starts at 25 mm, while the broader Canon SX 220HS can go is 28 mm - in terms of wideangle it is in fact quite a big difference
