"Consumers want versatility in a compact camera," said Yosuke Tomoda, director of the Cyber-shot business at Sony Electronics. "By focusing on a slim and stylish design, while adding an advanced image sensor, strong zoom capabilities and new opportunities to share content socially, we continue to push the boundaries of this digital camera category."
Sony CyberShot DSC-HX30V lens
The new 20x zoom "AA" (advanced aspherical) lens element in the Sony CyberShot DSC-HX30V produces outstanding results with a design drastically smaller than comparable 20x lenses in previous models. The thinly-designed lens, which requires highly sophisticated glass molding to create, allows the camera body to remain as compact as possible. In addition to its strong zoom capabilities, the new "AA" lens can focus at a minimum distance of approximately 1cm for stunning, clear macro shots.
Sony DSC-HX30V Wi-Fi camera
The new Sony DSC-HX30V model features Wi-Fi capabilities, allowing it to link directly and transfer content to a variety of compatible devices including smartphones, tablets and televisions. Using the new PlayMemories Mobile application from Sony, images can then be shared easily from the host device on Facebook, YouTube and other popular sharing sites. The Play Memories app is currently available for free download on both the iTunes app store and Android Market.
18 megapixel Sony DSC-HX30V
The new Sony CyberShot DSC-HX30V camera incorporates a 18.2 MP "Exmor R" CMOS sensor, the highest resolution sensor currently offered in the mainstream "point and shoot" market. The new image sensor teams with an advanced BIONZ processor to deliver blazing fast AutoFocus speeds of approximately 0.13 seconds in daylight and 0.21 seconds in low-light shooting situations, measured at 3 EV. Additionally, the new Sony DSC-HX30V features "Clear Image Zoom" digital zoom technology, which boosts optical zoom to 2x virtual capabilities (i.e. 20x optical to 40x "Clear Image Zoom") while maintaining full resolution. The Sony CyberShot DSC-HX30V is equipped with "Optical Steady Shot" to reduce any blurring caused by camera shake during shooting - even with the zoom extended - as well as some creative photographic settings.
