Sony CyberShot HX5V

CyberShot HX5 digital camera bursts advanced optical technologies and fun-to-use features that helps you capture, share and enjoy a lifetime of precious moments. Inside its compact, purposefully styled new body, the Sony Cyber-shot HX5 houses an incredible wealth of cutting-edge imaging innovation by Sony. With twice the sensitivity of conventional sensors, the advanced Exmor R CMOS sensor assures beautifully detailed, low-noise images, even when you’re shooting in low light.

Capture stunning low-light images and sweeping panoramic views with the DSC-HX5V featuring an "Exmor R" CMOS Sensor. Plus, catch fast action shots with up to 10 frames per seconds shooting. AVCHD Movie Mode records amazingly detailed video and a 25mm equivalent wide angle 10x high-zoom G Lens offers stellar image quality.

Sony DSC-HX5 camera records HD video

Optical Steady-shot with new Active Mode cuts camera-shake while you’re shooting hand-held HD video. Providing up to 10x more shake correction than conventional cameras, Active Mode gives the clearest, steadiest hand-held clips yet - even while you’re walking along. In a world first, Intelligent Sweep Panorama enhances the unique feature first introduced on last year’s Sony CyberShot HX1, TX1 and WX1 models. It’s now easier than ever to create seamless extra-wide angle views, even with moving objects. The camera detects if people or other objects are moving in your field of view as you sweep the camera, using powerful new algorithms to compensate for any mis-matching as images are automatically stitched together.

Sony HX5 integrates GPS and Compass function

The Sony DSC-HX5 is also the world’s first camera that integrates GPS and Compass functions to enhance your enjoyment of travel photography. Your location is displayed in real time on the large 7.6cm (3”) Clear Photo LCD screen as you’re shooting. When you’re back home, see where geo-tagged images and video clips were shot as on-line maps with supplied Picture Motion Browser PC software. As an extra refinement, a new Compass function shows which direction you were pointing when the picture was taken.
