CHIP OnlinePreis-Leistungs-Sieger Bridge-KameraReleaseApril 2015

Die Sony Cyber-SHOT DSC-HX400V leistet sich keine großen Schwächen und präsentiert sich unterm Strich als eine der besten Bridgekameras die der Markt aktuell hergibt. Sie nimmt Bilder in guter Qualität auf, sie arbeitet recht flott und auch die Ausstattung bewegt sich auf überdurchschnittlichem Niveau.

Stiftung WarentestReleaseSeptember 2014

Beste Videos. Große Kamera mit gutem elektronischen Sucher, Zeit- und Blendenvorwahl, Scharfstellen auch von Hand. Pro: gute Videos mit Motivverfolgung, starke Makrovergrößerung. WLan, GPS und HDR. Guter Monitor zum Klappen. Blitzschuh, Mikrofonanschluss. Bilder bei wenig Licht noch gut. Kontra: Verwacklungsschutz mangelhaft, Stativ sinnvoll.
