About this model
The Sony DSC-H400 is a bridge camera built for reach. Its 63x optical zoom lens covers an enormous range from 24.5mm wide-angle to 1550mm super-telephoto, letting you capture everything from landscapes to distant wildlife without changing lenses. The 20.1-megapixel CCD sensor delivers detailed stills, while 720p HD video recording with optical zoom and Optical SteadyShot helps keep the action steady. A 3-inch LCD screen and electronic viewfinder help with framing, and the camera's DSLR-like body includes a comfortable grip and mode dial. Powered by a rechargeable NP-BX1 battery and storing to SD cards, the H400 is a straightforward, all-in-one option for travel, nature and sports photography.
