Sony HX7V / HX9V analyzing the 16MP sensor pictures - Part 7


In this post we analyze the results from a pre-production Sony HX9V.
The samples are from quesabesde.com, Spain



This time we use the provided ISO test to see how much detail we are loosing if the ISO goes up. Adjust the angle of your screen so that the border of the money looks brownish,

Sony HX9V - the horror of digital zoom - original size and quality crop
The only time I use the digital zoom is when I use the camera as a telescope. Then I set the camera to the lowest resolution (VGA), smart zoom and full digital zoom. It is amazing what you can make out far away.

  1. "Image Quality" is a function of the end use. My end use is viewing on a 52 inch Sony Bravia HDTV. I downloaded the Quesebesde original photos and viewed them on the HDTV. If a pre-production HX9V looks that good, I am ready to buy.

  2. in the final HX9V the noise handling is improved, so is the stitching in the panorama HD, I just viewed the samples on a 120" full hd screen in 100% and the are mostly more then acceptable.
