Slow, but great zoom

The Sony Cyber-shot H400 ultra-zoom bridge camera with a massive 63x optical zoom lens put to the test.

63x optical zoom lens; Optical Steadyshot image stabilisation; Electronic viewfinder with dioptre correction; Intelligent Auto and backlight mode; Manual controls; Good value for money; 1cm macro mode

Poor panoramic image quality; Limited number of effects; Small electronic viewfinder; Detail lost above ISO400; 720p video recording; Purple fringing

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H400 is an affordable super-zoom camera, offering a 63x, 24.5-1550mm zoom lens, 20.1 megapixel Super HAD CCD sensor, 720p HD video recording with stereo sound, and Sweep Panoramas.

This is my second Cybershot and have recommended it to 3 friends. Great response when focusing and then shoot. When travelling we can take shots of interesting subjects whilst driving at 80 to 100 kmh. Very easy to take exceptional photos and movies

i am a novice photographer so i cant say much as this is my first camera besides my mobile :) i love the picture quality its an easy 5 stars if that was all i was judging it by But. there is some options ether i cant find or it didn't have.

I purchased this camera in late June, 2014 and have used it regularly. My photographic interest is the outdoors, both scenic and wildlife from closeup to telephoto, and the wide angle with 63X optical zoom allows amazing reach.
