Hey everyone! In this video I take a look at Sony's top of the line superzoom camera, the DSC-HX400. As Sony's successor to the DSC-HX300, the HX400 adds several new features. Features that I myself have thought should have been implemented into its predecessor. Keep watching to find out what I personally think of this camera.

Thanks John for an excellent overall review on the Sony HX 400. Buying a bridge camera or any camera is never easy as I have discovered and I am up once again for the research of the next best camera (pricing is a factor as well) to use for my artistic creative works as well as my animal natural therapies work. My needs are for a camera that is easy to use, allows me to take reasonable pics in low light, has optical stablisation (no blurriness) and also allows me to photograph reasonable movement (horses) as well really good close up shots (fur and other features).

Great review! I have been using this camera for 2 yrs now for filming aricraft and all my videos. Amazing sharp photos/videos! Long zoom of 1200 mm. Just wonder if Sony has a new upgraded HX series camera with 4K, high speed filming, much longer zoom and more!! Thats my wish list! Come on Sony time for a new HX model!

I just bought this camera, very pleased so far. I think Sony should take on board your suggestions-I would also like 4K video (plus slow/fast motion) & a longer optical zoom too! The 1200mm is great though and even the 'clear image' zoom is decent quality in good light. Enjoy :-)

The feature where you can tweak the auto-zoom directly on the lens manually is simply amazing, I think I'm choosing this one just because of that. I had a Canon SX530HS that I sold and bought a DSLR. Although a DSLR is great at night and indoors, I miss my all in one 530HS everyday, it's not fun riding a motorcycle to shoot with a big DSLR and a lot of lenses. I just have to buy another, I even stopped going out alone at weekends because I lost my small super zoom camera. But I used to lose many shots because the auto-focus kept going to the wrong place, and DSLRs are so nice because you can change focus so easily, and this one is like that in the lens. Not to mention the good price.

Hey John, I love the review and your channel. I have a question about the focus, which is that I used to shoot aircraft on final approach (2,000 feet in the air, no extreme zoom needed) with the Sony HX300. I always used the manual focus on the 300 by half-pressing on the shutter button. Is the same option of half-pressing the shutter button to manually focus available on the HX400?

One question - the view screen seemingly fills with colorful graphs and info after I take a picture -?- this is weird and takes a few seconds to clear and prevents me from shooting another shot immediately. How do I reset or illuminate this busy screen? Many thanks - Jack in western CO

Hi John. Iv now watched your review now four times ( it’s a age thing lol) what a truly informative review. I’m not never have been or will be a photographer.but this year reaching the grand old age of 65 i decided to purchase a good camera for taking good close ups of models that I make ( another age thing) I had it in my mind that if I purchase a good expensive camera ie. a Nikon..I would truly get good close ups.....em....but in my case that was not the case. Not only would I need a expensive camera but I would need all The lenses that would be needed to go with it....which I would never be able to use....and more importantly I could not justify...any way first saw the Hx350 in my local shop and could not believe just how good the close up image was....I then come home and come across your video....which even I can understand...I’m glad I did because if I hadn’t I would have purchased the HX 350.... iv purchased the HX400v because..of the WiFi ..fitted and didn’t know about..and I do use on most of my shots ( bigger screen better for old boys) ...many thanks John....of course I will subscribe to your channel..never ever to old to learn...Dave..

John, great review as always. You gotta love Sony for taking features away that previous models had, just to "re" introduce them in a newer model. My HX200V has both the LCD viewfinder/LCD proximity sensor as well as GPS Tagging. Along comes the HX300, minus both of those features, and then the HX400V with "new" features... the LCD viewfinder/LCD proximity sensor as well as GPS Tagging. They are usually working on two models ahead, so it's as if they said... "OK, look, we'll add a 50X zoom to the 300, but there won't be much more for the 400, so lets do this... lets strip the 300 of the LCD viewfinder/LCD proximity sensor as well as GPS Tagging so we can "re" introduce these "features" in the 400, and those sorry suckers will have to upgrade cameras again!" Sure the 400V has some new features over the 200V including the multi-purpose hot shoe (and others), but bringing back the features of the 200V tells me they should not have left the 300 at all. Great marketing plan for Sony while leaving a bit of a bitterness in my mouth. Thanks for letting me vent!

I hear you! Its one of those "What were they thinking" moments when the HX300 came out. To be honest, I think they lost ground with superzoom cameras. They need to do something a lot better with their next update.

One slight possible flaw that I have noticed with my HX40V, is that if you take a panoramic photo, then switch back to take a 'normal' photo, the camera doesn't seem to like it, and the next image taken will be blurred and out of focus. In my case, I have to take a wasted photo, before being able to take the chosen photo. It is probably something that I am doing wrong, but thought that I would mention it anyway.

Bought my first SLR in Nairobi 45 years ago. Then came a long period of point and shoot digital cameras. Headed back to Africa (Okavango Delta) and chose the Sony DSC-HX400 to get some good game shots. Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the number of options. Can you walk through two sets of custom settings one might use for a couple of situations? I could then use them as a place to start and come up with my preferred custom settings. Just a thought.

What settings should i keep in my hx400v?. Image quality:- fine or standard?
@xOogieBoogie3x

That's just for the display. Fine increases the resolution and sharpness, but uses more battery. For video if I remember, the setting pertains to higher sharpness and image processing at the expense of image stabilization. Really good for bipoded long exposure type shots; use standard if in motion.

Hi, Thanks for video review. Can you shut off the sound when recording video ? Is it easy to manually focus in video mode? I would use it for filming wildlife at long range, do you think it would be suitable for this application? Thanks DG

I'm pretty sure you can turn off sound recording while recording video. Manual focus is very easy especially with focus peaking and manual focus assist. For your uses it's pretty much the perfect camera for long range filming.

thanks John, do you think this is a good camera to photogtaph insects in detail? Does it has a underwater cover? thank you

Its definitely capable of capturing insects in detail but for underwater covers, you may need to get a generic one that will fit the camera.

Got a question.. I am getting back into Photography.. Would a HX200V be a good start for around 220$ .. I found one at a 2nd hand shop by my house.

Hello, Thank you for this information. I am wondering why my volleyball videos with this camera is poor quality with fuzzy images. Do you know what is the best way to set up for fast action shots? I have been using a high zoom with the auto feature. Thank you,

For videos I would probably set the camera at AVCHD at 24p or 25p. Also, there is an option in your camera that you need to turn off which is digital zoom. That will give you extra zoom in your camera but it degrades photo and video quality. I hope that helps.

I been watching your videos and find them super useful, Thank!!!! question what would you prefer the Sony DSC-HX400 or the Fuji S9400W ?
@JohnSisonPhotography
@JohnSisonPhotography 10 жыл бұрын
Hi Paula. Thanks for the compliment! =.D I would personally prefer the HX400 over the Fuji. Mainly because the Sony has a rechargeable battery rather than using double A batteries on the Fuji and in terms of handing and low light performance, the Sony one would be better.

how many are the true effective megapixels in this camera ?? somewere i read its only 9? is that correct?? Can a bridge camera like this compere ( in quality for a casual photographer ) with a mirrorless like sony a 5000 ?? thanks
@JohnSisonPhotography
@JohnSisonPhotography 8 жыл бұрын
+kwstas ph In terms of quality, the a5000 will be much better because it has a larger sensor than the HX400 so quality and low light will be much better. It approximately has 20.4 effective megapixels.
