This is some high quality professional no-bullshit review from a guy who knows what he is talking about. Respect.

What I like about your reviews and videos is that I feel that you are an enthusiast too. Not just doing a rview but that you truly enjoy what you are doing and like the camera in your hands. God job. Keep it up. I am finishing the expert videos on the hx300 with my hx400.

Awesome review. This is my camera purchase. Been doing many researches recently and this looks to be the best for the money for the features and pic quality. Thank you for posting this.

Fantastic video!! Love all the detail you showed us from the mechanical details to examples of photos and videos. Great job :) Making me even more excited for my Sony HX400v that's currently en route :)

I find myself screaming at most videos "show me some damn pictures with the thing!" This was great, wonderful review, great examples thanks buddy

Thanks for the video, it took me a whole day to decide on a camera and your video just made a lot easier to actually buy one :) Greetings from Germany

Lovely review, thanks. We have used our new 400 for the first time today and are just in awe of it.

Thanks for the great review, very well done! This is a great camera, I've had mine for about 8 months now. To go with it, a few extra batteries, a decent shoulder strap, and a hand grip. One of the best things I bought for it was a Zacuto Z-Finder, so I'd be able to see the viewfinder in daylight. I'd highly recommend one of these for anyone wanting to actually see their viewfinder in bright daylight. Much less expensive viewfinders are out there, and would probably work just as well, but I found a good used one on Amazon, and don't regret that purchase at all! The only problem I have with the camera is trying to stay focused on aircraft at air shows... pretty tricky. About 85% of those pictures turn out great, so I'm not complaining, but any suggestions to improve that would be appreciated.

hello friend, what is the best for indoor shooting, Canon SX60 or Sony DSC-HX400 with broad view? What do you think? Thanks and nice vid.

hello a question in which option is where it turns green when focusing a spider I would appreciate it if you would teach me

thanks - another great video - I have the HX300 and am looking forward to more of your future tutorials!

Hi Dana, no problem! Thanks for watching.

Dude... You made me go nuts about this camera! Thank you!

Thanks for this. I have been contemplating buying this and after your review have made up my mind. 👍🏻

Please, what video editing software do you use to slow motion from 60 to 30 fps? Thank you.

can this camera take bler images on background shots

I know its an old video, but loved it and needed the vid! Thanks!

Excelente review ... Gracias por compartir

Excellent vide from start to finish. Thank you.

A truly wonderful review, thank you !

I wish you had shown the operation of the manual focus, cuz that's a very distinctive feature in bridge cameras at this price point!

how do I connect to my iPhone? I don't understand the instructions in the manual

What a fantastic review, thank you.

Oh my goodness, your voice, so nice.

Very nice review, clearly explained and understandable, well done sir.....

That was an excellent review, hands down

I also have that camera, but.... to me is not selected the object and turns yellow as you. How do you put?

Great presentation and oh wow what a talented basketball player!

This review is awesome!

I kept checking and checking then posted on Facebook and 5 minutes later it showed up. Praying to the Facebook gods worked. It was funny though because I ordered a case for it and they shipped it in two separate boxes. When I opened the first box it was a griddle and drip pans lol. I was panicked because I was worried the camera wasn't in the other box. (Thank god it was because someone from Amazon would have been driving to my house to bring it to me). And, I love it. :)

Nicely done, could you please tell me the name of the mic you are using in this video? and your hardware and software setup if there are any? thank you again

I have the OG HX100v and its great, I am thinking about upgrading to this though, has some handy features I really like, and I like that you can put filters on this one, the HX100v isn't threaded for filters. I am just a hobbyist photographer but I have gotten into Gigapixel images and it works great for that, use lots of zoom and take lots of pictures with good overlap and stitch them together. Works great for a point and shoot too for everyday use, I love overhearing people say "I wish I could get closer", well tough tiddies to them, but I can get a picture of the earwax in the popes ear from a mile off! Haha!

Fantastic review!

This is an amazing video. I wish you'd make more gadget reviews. :-)

Amazing review ! Thank you.

WOW! Perfect review just awesome made.

For the creative mods inside the camera, as you mention: Do you first take the regular jpeg and then you work it in post editing using the set of options? That peak focus, does it also work on video? Have you compared this camera with the Canon Powershot SX60HS? I'm trying to decide. Thanks for your very educative video. Hope you have the time to answer my questions. Thanks!

i thinking of buying this cam.... do you know if it has burst shot, and is burst shot able to be used in low light? if so please let me know, i loved my older DSC- H10 but it has become way outdated... thanks in advance.

Hi, thank you for the nice video and the details. Is it possible if you can share some pictures for night photography with manual settings?

Based on your review and detail pictures you provided, I bought the camera. Is not SLR but is a great camera. I love it. Please if you can do a review on SLR starting from $400 to $1000 Thank You

Hi Michael ! Can you tell me where can I select the Picking mode? Thanks

Hi, I am holding a festival abroad, I get the feeling this camera will grab the shots I need to create a video, photos etc for marketing tool for my future events?? for me its this one or the EOS 100D Digital SLR Camera?? please advise me Thank you

Wow, Great Review

I get this second hand camera..and im confused.. While i took pics of moon, there is some artifacts, also when i zoom something else.. Is there some kind of option, or something i can reduce this digital artifacts, or what else can i do? Im really confused :(

Great review. You missed mentioning the Playmemories apps, would have been nice for the audience to know! :)

Great Review..subscribed right away.. my question for you if you don't mind is that I purchased the DCS HX60 yesterday and I was wondering if the video shooting features on it (support 24P for example,) are exactly as the video features on the DCS HX400? Thanks.

How do you get such clear video, mine seems grainy and not as sharp

Wow, I was going to purchase a DSLR (Nikon DS3300), but this is incredible!

carry on your doing great dont stop

thanks for the review, i am stuck din deciding between fz200 and hx400v, which one would you suggest, please reply soon, i wanna order asap :)

Can you increase the zoom on this camera by simply adding a more powerful zoom lens and which one would you recommend. We like to shoot the humpbacks from our condo window and find that our jvc video cam gets to grainy.

Can you put the lens on another camera , lets say a sony A600-6500 ? Or is that lens build in on that camera? If you can put it on a diffrent camera will it still maintain the quality of the zoom? Since the body for this video is specifically made for this lens , but the A600+ may not support that zoom? (Sorry for my bad english and also very new to the camera stuff ^^)

Great review! Thinking that kid shooting around is ready for NBA.

on the rx10 series if you change the size from 20 megapixels to 10 megapixels it allows you to zoom in further and if you change it to 5 megapixels it allows you to zoom in even further does this model allow you to do the same?

Can u plz explain about the charger and charging process?

Which camera got greater zoom the Panasonic FZ2000 bridge camera or the Sony HX400V ?

Great review! Have you tried shooting this camera with ND filter? Will 55mm ND filter fit here?

Great Review, thank you.

Hey! I thank you for making this video, this is my first true camera and I would like to use it well! This video has already answered some questions I had, but do you know how can I take a picture of someone with the blackround blurred? Does it always have to be with the zoom? Thank you!

Very nice and helpfull video ... thanks

dear sir. thnx for uploading a helpful video,i hve question that is this hx400v camera best suited for hd video recording with sound capturing video and image capturing. while zoom........if no which camera should buy....plz tell us....kind regards

شكرا على الشرح

Hi Michael !! Thanks for this lovely review, i have watched all of your videos on youtube, and i love all of them. The way you provide information, helps to learn a lot. When I saw this video, I just couldn't wait to buy this camera, and i just actually bought one. It is an excellent camera. Some may complaint that the sensor is too small, but it can produce such quality pictures that can confuse people whether those were shot with a dslr or what? You are doing a great job here, best wishes for future An expert series for hx 400v would be great if you can do so, although there is an expert series for hx 300, but it didn't had my favourite feature [peaking] which the 400v does.

he-man Many thanks for taking the time to provide this feedback. Much appreciated. Yes, the camera is a very capable camera and the price point is actually very good for a camera with this many options and a lens with this level of zoom. There are quite a few more features that I want to show people on the HX300, but you're right--there are quite a few new features on the HX400 that would make for a good series. I'll keep that in mind. Be sure to tell your friends about the channel - some future videos will be a digital camera buyer's reference video that I hope will help many folks that want something different from the camera on their phone but aren't quite sure where to begin... Cheers!

Hey Michael... I've purchase this one (today 😆)... but i dont know a lot about it... can you do some experts serie for this one like you did for the hx300...

Does your screen get those white edging every time you use the dmf or mf mode?

I NEED this camera!!

I own a HX300 and really enjoy the features. What this video has revealed is that the HX 400 will excede the needs of 80% of a photographer. Thanks for showing just what is available with the HX series. Looking forward to the 400 when I have finally mastered the 300. That will take some time.

Hi Ron, glad to help.

Can i use this camera to shot macro image.????

What a zooming yaar. I can't even believe. I will definitly buy it

Thanks for the review. I currently have HX200V and been thinking to upgrade it. Would HX400V be a nice upgrade in terms of functionalities other than 20X additional zoom ?

WELL done! Thanks. I think this helped me make up my mind, not an easy feat.

Excellent!

what's the use of 55 mm filter lens?

Does it have micro USB charging? Can It be charged by power bank. Can you use it while charging. Please replay. Please.

are you using a wireless mic to record the voiceover? I can hear a lot of RF disturbance!

can you Exposure Lock in video mode please?

Hi youe video helped me coz i just bought this camera but didnt know how to use, but you talked abut it but didnt tell me where all these features are 👀😩

My first camera and I’m finally learning how to use it right 😂, because I’m trying to get into photography

great video, thank you!

as such an approach is made in the insect ? as set it up?

excelente video .... saludos.-

Would you recommend this camera for wildlife?

Zooming in on hot air balloon, were you at 50x optical or did you go to 100x which is supposed to be a lot better than just a "crop" of the optically zoomed image? I forget the name of the technology used to achieve this.

Hello how to on Peking mode can you tell me

Hi. Thanks for the insight, really helpful. One more thing, would you mind asking you how did you shoot the video with yourself focused on screen while all the surrounding is blurred?..even objects closer to the camera! Thanks in advance.
