Sony HX95 Compact digital camera

Powerful zoom and serious performance

Despite its super-compact size, the HX95 delivers high-quality images and outstanding performance, incorporating high-level features like 24-720mm 4K video recording, fast and precise AF, plus a high-contrast OLED electronic viewfinder, handy control ring and tiltable LCD screen for easy operation.

Designed for users who want an unobtrusive camera that can be carried at all times, the new models are packaged in the world's smallest body and offer a truly versatile zoom range from 24mmi at the wide end up to 720mm super-telephoto. In addition to stunning 4K movie footage, at the heart of both models sits the powerful BIONZ X image processing engine combined with a front-end LSI that delivers high-speed continuous shooting at up to 10 fps with a buffer limit of up to 155 images. Furthermore, these new models present a fast AF speed of 0.09 seconds. Some newly added features are Eye AF, RAW format image recording, touch focus/touch shutter function, and location data acquisition via Bluetooth.

ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* 24-720mm High Magnification Zoom and High image Quality Lens

The huge zoom range offered by the HX95 means that they are ideally suited to the varied demands of travel photography and capturing daily life. image stabilisation is controlled with Optical SteadyShot™ which effectively negates the camera shake blur that often occurs during handheld and telephoto shooting. The models are also equipped with a Zoom Assist function that allows the user to zoom out temporarily and displays a wider area when shooting a subject at the telephoto end.

Processing Power

The HX95 can capture 4K video footage with full pixel readout and no pixel binning. This means that fine details are beautifully rendered and ‘moiré' and ‘jaggies' are significantly reduced. The new models can shoot fast-moving subjects with high-frame rate HD recording at up to 100fps to produce impressive slow-motion sequences during editing.

As the perfect picture often occurs unexpectedly, photographers need to be able to trust their camera to react quickly. With a Fast Intelligent AF speed of just 0.09 seconds and an upgraded BIONZ X processor and front-end LSI, the HX95 are a perfect fit, delivering high speed continuous shooting at up to 10fps (buffer limit of up to 155 images). For beautifully focused portraits, the new models inherit the much praised Eye AF technology from their ™ siblings and for photographers who prefer to enhance their photos with image editing software, the HX95 offer the option to shoot in RAW. Fading light? A maximum ISO6400 means that this isn't a concern.

A 180-degree tiltable LCD screen allows for easy framing of selfies and group shots whilst an upgraded grip offers a firm hold and greater stability during shooting. Location data acquisition via Bluetooth can collect and record location data from a mobile device (Location Information Link) and small size Proxy recording allows transfers to smartphones or uploading to websites for quick sharing.
