The awards are a testament to the achievement of Sony staff, engineers, designers, and everyone involved in the creation, promotion and marketing of the winning products.

, Sony Celebrates Fantastic Five at 2019 TIPA awards

In addition to its compact size and light weight, the α6400 delivers speedy performance and a range of advanced features you’d expect from a full-frame model such as, high-speed continuous shooting and 4K HDR (HLG) [1] [2] movie-shooting; a 3.0-type 180-degree tiltable LCD screen; AI-powered Real-time Eye AF and new, high-precision Real-time Tracking. This high-speed, high-performance-tracking AF system is paired with a new-generation BIONZ X image processing engine that together allows the camera to acquire focus in as little as 0.02 seconds and maintain subject lock extremely effectively. It’s ideal for capturing even the fastest-moving subjects with ease, while its wide sensitivity range and stunning image quality make it suitable for just about any photographic opportunity you may encounter, whether you’re shooting stills or movies.

Best Superzoom Compact Camera – Sony RX100 VI

Every aspect and component of the RX100 VI has been skilfully engineered to work in tandem to achieve unrivalled image quality and an impressive 8x zoom within the same small footprint of the RX100 V (2.9x zoom). Cleverly designed optics pack incredible power, while optical image stabilisation maintains a steady image even with handheld shots at the telephoto end of the zoom range. And the advanced image processing engine delivers better perceived image resolution with low noise.

Unsparing application of Sony’s most advanced optical technologies has produced a large-aperture prime telephoto lens that delivers outstanding corner-to-corner resolution even at F1.8, plus exquisite bokeh that is a hallmark of the G Master series. The unique XD (extreme dynamic) linear motors allow users to maintain focus on moving portrait subjects, performers on stage, or similarly dynamic subjects with impressive speed, precision, and reliability, while also providing AF control that is quiet and virtually free of vibration.
