I purchased the Sony 400v for it many features, such as GPS,auto and manual focus,very long range focus. I,ve shot about 200 pics in less than a month,many are on a stock photo website. Attempting to learn about the
diverse features and will soon try macro photography. Battery life is good
But a backup is necessary if you are planning a hiking trip.

It does tend to have excessive noise at a long zoom especially in difficult light.

This camera has everything I need for my level of experience with photography and video. I use it for my travel log while traveling in my RV though out Canada and the USA. It has many features that require a steep learning curve that I really can use for various photo and video shots. Also I don't need photo shop or video software to clean up the results like I did with my previous camera. Great camera.

The zoom is fantastic. For someone who simply wants a good camera to take casual pictures this is an excellent choice. For someone who wants to get into complec photography I would reccomend something else. The camera has no raw options. Only jpegs.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Absolutely LOVE this camera
on June 25, 2014

I have owned MANY cameras. I consider myself semi pro. I know just enough about manual adjustments to really screw up my photos. :) I decided after many years with several larger DSLRs to go back to a simpler camera that gave me more options than the standard point and shoot. This fit the bill. The zoom is incredible. The intelligent auto really is intelligent. Many options for scenes as well as manual settings. The low light is also very good. I seldom use flash. When you do, you need to be 10-12 ft from your subject otherwise they are over exposed. This camera does great night scenes as well. I have one camera now, no messing around with 3 or 4 lenses and a camera body. I never seemed to have the right lens on my camera when i needed it. Now - its all there all the time! The only negative comment i have and it really is minor is that the rapid shoot appears to be limited to 10 frames and then 15-20 seconds of processing time. Get extra batteries as well... i just returned from a 2 week trip to Europe where i took over 2500 photos. I brought 5 batteries with me as depending on how much you like to use your zoom each one may only last around 300 photos.

Incredible Camera
on May 14, 2014

I have no complaints about this camera, in fact it has exceeded all of my expectations. There is no other camera on the market today that can compare with the combination of features, performance, and price of the DSC-HX400/b!
The limited amount of available flashes compatible with the "Multi-interface Shoe" is a drawback, but not a mark against the camera it's self. Maybe next year I will be able to afford the HVL-F60M Flash. Until then I will continue to take amazing pictures without it!!
Thank you Sony for making such an amazing piece of technology!

Great Camera for traveling
on September 29, 2014
Posted by: Paulthetraveler
When traveling, you want to go light. But to get great pictures, I had to choose between my SLR with at least two lenses, or a small Point and shoot, with limited zoom. This camera, gave me the best of both worlds. The pictures were very good, in focus, and for most pictures, I could adjust the speed to prevent blur, without using (or carrying) a speed light. The camera fit into my hands so that I could grip it comfortably, and the EVF worked well.
The only compromise is that the sensor is smaller than my SLR, so that printing poster size prints would not be as sharp as the SLR.
