with three TIPA awards.
recognised Sony’s innovation and performance in the digital imaging industry
with three TIPA awards.
BEST DSLR PROFESSIONAL: α99 II
The α99 II has a 42.4MP Exmor R CMOS sensor
inside its magnesium alloy body and an enhanced buffer that can handle up to 12
frames per second shooting with AF/AE tracking. ISO range is 100-25,600
expandable to 102,400. The hybrid phase-detection AF system combines a 79-point
dedicated sensor with 399-point focal plane sensor, resulting in a 79 hybrid
cross AF point array that delivers very impressive high-speed and high accuracy
tracking focus. The α99 II records 4K[1] video with full pixel readout (with no
pixel binning) in the XAVC S format at 100 Mbps. It also incorporates 5-axis
image stabilisation (a 4.5 stop advantage).

BEST EXPERT COMPACT CAMERA:
DSC-RX100 V
DSC-RX100 V
The RX100 V has a 20MP 1-inch Exmor RS CMOS sensor
and a high resolution OLED EVF as well as a 3.0 inch TFT LCD, all within a camera that fits easily in the pocket. ISO
sensitivity ranges from 125 to 12,800 and to 25,600 by overlay burst shooting.
Fast Hybrid AF combines 315 focal plane phase detection points with contrast
detection AF to yield a very fast AF acquisition speed of 0.05 seconds.
Continuous 24fps shooting, with AF/AE tracking, is made possible by the new
font end LSI. The (equivalent) 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 ZEISS Vario-Sonnar T* zoom lens can focus as
close as 0.17 ft (5cm) at the wide focal length setting. The camera offers
numerous video modes and frames, including 4K, as well as built-in SteadyShot™
image stabilisation.
