Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V prices and specs
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V was released on Feb 28, 2012 and is on sale in USA for $210.00
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V belongs to the category of point and shoot cameras. Its main benefit is a very small size: the photographer can even put it in the pocket. The Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V is equipped with different automatic modes but you won't take photos of the same high quality in comparison to DSLR cameras.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V can make images at 18 megapixels highest resolution. But if you want to get better photo quality the more important thing is a sensor size. The Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V has a 1/2.3' (6.17 x 4.55 mm) sensor which means that the camera will shoot images with a lower quality than cameras with larger sensors but instead it has more portable size. But if you want to make images of the best quality check Nikon D5.
The Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V has max shutter speed of 1/1600 sec. It is not very fast shutter speed but anyway the owner of the camera will manage to shoot images of moving subjects. The Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V records great videos in Full HD resolution.
The lens is built into the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V and you can't change it. The lens provides amazing 20x optical zoom.
Also this model has Wi-Fi which means that the Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V owner can very easy transfer shots to the smartphone or tablet for example. The Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V even equiped with built-in GPS that will allow the photographer to pinpoint the exact co-ordinates at which the images were made. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V battery life will be enough to take up to 320 images.
