Description — Sony DSC-HX200V
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V is a point-and-shoot camera centered on an 18MP 1/2.3-inch sensor processed by Sony's BIONZ engine. It delivers stills at up to 4896x3672 pixels with a maximum burst rate of 10fps, making it responsive enough for action-oriented shooting. The autofocus system uses contrast detection across 9 focus points and includes subject tracking for keeping moving subjects sharp.
ISO flexibility spans 100 to 12800 to handle a range of lighting situations. Video recording reaches 1080p at frame rates of 24fps, 25fps, 50fps, and 60fps in 8-bit depth, with Standard and Vivid color profiles. Both optical (OIS) and digital image stabilization are built in to support handheld shooting.
Monitoring is handled by a 3.0-inch tilting LCD at 921,600 dots and an EVF at 201,600 dots running at 60Hz. The body is constructed of plastic with metal elements, measures 122 x 87 x 93 mm, and weighs 583g. The NP-BG1 battery delivers approximately 450 shots per charge, while a standard ISO hot shoe and built-in pop-up flash provide lighting options for a variety of scenarios.
