Sony HX400V review

 

Sony's bridge camera gets an overhaul and it's almost perfect

Large zoom range ; Great processor ; Good EVF

No touchscreen ; Can't shoot in raw

There are a lot of interesting functions that make the HX400V appealing, including the 50x optical zoom, built-in Wi-Fi and creative functions.
