Experience the result of more than 150 years of Zeiss expertise in precision optics: This 24-720 mm lens provides natural, razor-sharp images with high contrast

from every perspective - whether for portrait, close-up or landscape photography.
In addition, the Zeiss T* anti-reflective multiple coating reduces ghost effects and light reflections on the lens surface.
Exmor RCMOS sensor for particularly high sensitivity:
The more light falls on a sensor, the more brilliant the images become. The 18.2-megapixel Exmor RCMOS sensor effectively captures four times more light than conventional sensors.
It is also twice as light-sensitive and reduces noise using Sony's A/D conversion technology.
Bionz X for more detail and less noise:
Using technologies for detail rendering, diffraction reduction, and area-specific noise reduction, the Bionz X Image Processor converts data from the Exmor RCMOS sensor to high-resolution images.
This combination enables extremely precise and realistic images with even more lifelike colours and textures.
Fast Wi-Fi/NFC connection for easy sharing:
Built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) technology lets you quickly establish Wi-Fi connectivity to Android mobile devices. Share your favorite photos and videos in seconds by transferring them directly from the camera to your friends' and family members' smartphones or tablets.
And with PlayMemories Mobile, you can even remotely control the camera from your mobile device.
180° tilting LCD display for easy image composition:
The high-resolution LCD display on the back of the camera can be tilted up to 180 degrees. Thus, even if you are in front of the camera, you can easily check the composition of the image on the LC display before making a selfie, for example.
And for shots from a frog's perspective, too, this flexible LC display provides convenient handling and positioning.

Overall ratingVery good84/100
- schwenkbares Display
- sehr kompakt und hochwertig
- gute Videofunktion
- schwächelt bei höheren ISO Werten
Der Testsieger kommt mit einer guten Ausstattung samt Klappdisplay sowie einer guten Bildqualität bis ISO 400 daher. Dabei ist das Modell sehr kompakt gebaut und sehr hochwertig gefertigt. Auch beim Filmen der Full HD Videos macht die kleine Kamera einen sehr guten Eindruck. Nur bei hohen ISO Einstellungen ist das Rauschverhalten nicht mehr als gut zu werten, wobei hier die Details nicht mehr zufriedenstellen...
Very good87/100
- Mit 24mm sehr brauchbarer Weitwinkelbereich
- Effektiver optischer Bildstabilisator
- Leicht überdurchschnittliche Bildqualität für eine Reisezoomkamera
- 30-fach-Zoomobjektiv mit enorm großem Brennweitenbereich (24 bis 720mm KB)
- Gute Abbildungsleistung für den großen Brennweitenbereich
- Sehr kompaktes Kameragehäuse (bezogen auf 30x Zoom und den hohen Funktionsumfang)
