1920×1080 Full HD 60p w/9.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor

Create high definition 1920 x 1080 60p videos and high quality 9.2MP still images. Experience improved image clarity and stunning low-light sensitivity with greatly reduced grain with Sony's back-illuminated ExmorR CMOS sensor. Designed for compact cameras and camcorders, the Exmor R CMOS sensor moves photo diodes above the support circuitry, maximizing the light-gathering area per pixel so you can shoot with better results in low-light situations.

29.8mm wide angle Carl Zeiss lens

From the authority on lens technology, the Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonar T lens offers a high-quality 29.8mm wide angle so you can get what you want in the shot.

27x optical/54x clear image zoom to get closer to the action

Get amazingly close with 27x optical zoom plus 54x clear image digital zoom. Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in sharper images. With Clear Image Zoom, the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, high-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles the optical zoom for close-up photos and videos.

2.7 inch Clear Photo LCD Display (230K)

The 2.7-inch (16:9) Clear Photo LCD (230K) displays sharp, bright, vivid images, allowing you to more easily compose a shot – even outdoors, while enabling you to change settings to best represent the scene.

Steadyshot image stabilization w/ active mode

SteadyShot image stabilization with Active mode compensates for excessive levels of camera shake to deliver stunningly smooth video from wide angle to full telephoto shooting. Additionally, innovative 3-way shake-cancelling adds electronic roll stabilization for even smoother video capture.
