A back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor with 18.2 effective megapixels takes in more light for greater detail in every shot.
Now reproducing more realistic detail and colour in images with less diffraction and noise.
With Sony's new High-Resolution built-in OLED Tru-Finder™ Precision Electronic viewfinder, every detail you've captured is faithfully reproduced on-screen. Since there's no backlighting, blacks are blacker, details are clearer and contrast is higher, no matter where you are. And with accelerated OLED response, motion blur and residual images are virtually eliminated when tracking moving objects or displaying recorded movies. For size, speed and brightness, there's nothing quite like it.
Be camera ready from any angle with the convenient 180° tiltable LCD screen and touch shutter. Simply flip up the LCD screen and adjust the magnification with the zoom lever for easy self-shooting. Compose your selfies beautifully at any angle and wherever you are. Together with Beauty Effect which lets you tone and smooth skin, widen eyes and brighten smiles, you'll always look picture perfect even without a PC.
Experience stunning low-light performance thanks to the 18.2MP back-illuminated Exmor R™ CMOS sensor. The unique back-illuminated technology powering the sensor enables it to utilise incident light more efficiently, doubling its sensitivity compared to conventional CMOS sensors. The result is a clearer, sharper image and drastically reduced noise even when shooting in dimly lit environments, whether in a party or out under the stars.
With heightened processing speed, BIONZ X™ image processor reproduces textures and details in real life, and suppresses visual noise in specific areas to ensure sharp images. This results in realistic images with rich tonal gradations and a natural three-dimensional appearance, giving you sharp and outstanding picture quality with every snap.
Explore different effects and widen your creative expression with Picture Effects. Tweak the brightness, colour, vividness and texture according to your preference and enjoy the results on screen after a round of shooting with 13 different effects in total, including 6 new ones - Toy Camera, Soft High Key, Partial Colour, Miniature, Watercolour and Illustration. Transform every scene into the work you've envisioned.
PlayMemories Mobile features easy-to-use camera apps that work seamlessly together. "Smart Remote Control" allows you to control the camera with your smartphone which you can transfer immediately to your smartphone or tablet using "Sync to Smartphone". For that picture perfect shot every time, "My Best Portrait" lets you adjust skin tone and smoothness for that flawless complexion.
Sharing photos and movies is now easier with the One-Touch Sharing function. Simply by touching the camera to a Android™ smartphone or tablet*5, you can wirelessly transfer media from device to device. Made possible by built-in Wi-Fi® and NFC (Near Field Communication) technology that also works with pre-installed Smart Remote Control*6 to enable remote control of your camera from the smartphone or tablet.

Have only recently purchased camera but have been familiarizing myself with all of its features and capabilities. Good size to fit in pocket. Have a Nikon DSLR which is a fantastic camera but the Sony seems to have more features. Image quality is far better than I expected from a compact camera. Zoom is quite powerful and seems a very sturdy camera.
Ted's Maroochydore service was excellent and very helpful. Highly recommended
Pros:
Easy to use, Compact, Build quality, Screen size
