Great camera
DSCH400/B 03 May 2015 by frugalchariot (USA) Verified Purchaser Verified
I purchased this camera in late June, 2014 and have used it regularly. My photographic interest is the outdoors, both scenic and wildlife from closeup to telephoto, and the wide angle with 63X optical zoom allows amazing reach. The 20 megapixel resolution allows fine tuning and cropping on the computer with no loss in quality of the end product. And the camera is not heavy or bulky, is easily carried, and relatively easy to hold steady even on telephoto shots. Overall, the camera is a bargain at its asking price; I would recommend it without question to anyone who wants simplicity and great photographic range.
Could do with some better firmware and fasterfocus
DSC-H400 02 July 2017 by MAD MAX (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
My Sony Camera has been dogged by constant problems with focus. By pressing the shutter button partially it pulls into focus, then at the point of shutter release, loses it frequently. It also loses it's way and saves "invalid" files, that is most unpredictable. Focus - when it works is painfully slow. Multiple shutter release has never worked. It is also not possible to take control of focus, for example leave it on infinity. Aperture and Shutter priority pictures are fit only to delete. This is a very poor excuse for a camera. Shame because it is light, has a marvellous telephoto capability - but so little of the electronics really work properly. Unreliable and not really much use, I have initialised this camera on nearly every outing to get it to work at all. I will more than likely end up throwing it in the dustbin.

63x ZOOM, helps when taking macro photos.
DSC-H400 07 August 2023 by oldfinger (United Kingdom)
I purchased this camera as a stand in for my other Sony which is at the menders only for the battery cover to be replaced. It took a few pictures to get used to the white balance but after that it was fine. The view I see in the electronic screen doesn't match what uploads to the tv screen. I had to post edit the reds and the purple flowers.

Solid Sony product nearly ten years old.
DSC-H400 06 August 2023 by jbleeds (United Kingdom)
I bought this for holidays and fun. Works well and was easy to learn how to use. As it made its debut nearly ten years ago it is a bit dated. No GPS, WiFi etc.. really needs a tripod for long distances but picture quality overall is good. The strap lugs are very tight to the camera and so quick release hooks are impossible.

Never worked from Day 1
DSC-H400 13 October 2021 by Capn John (United Kingdom)
Returned to Curry's - from whom I bought this expensive camera. They were unable/unwilling to take any responsibility and advised me to return - AT MY OWN EXPENSE! - to DKAV (whoever they are - I presume a sub-contractor) for repair. Each time camera switched on an error message appeared ("turn off and turn on again"). CONTINUOUSLY. AND I NEVER GOT BEYOND THE ERROR SCREEN. I await with interest the outcome with no confidence in this manufacturer's ability to remedy. Clearly not fit for purpose with well over £320 down the drain Apparently rhis is a common issue with these cameras

DSC-H400 05 November 2019 by Puffinpoo (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
I bought this Camera to go on safari in Botswana. it came about a week before I went so had to play with it a lot to figure out what it did. I learned more when I was there and from other people. I would like to go on a course ot understand ewverything this Camera does as I suspect it has the facility to do way much more than I could ever need. However, I shot the moon and I shot some amazing animals and birds and was very pleased with the results. I need more practice though - but overall , I really like it. One thing that does bother me, when I take it out the camera case I got, I always manage to hit the on/off button - I know it goes off but I feel it is in the wrong place!

Not as good as anticipated
DSC-H400 16 June 2019 by Dave 83 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
This camera looks and feels the part but many photos are blur especially if they have been zoomed in the auto focus is not very good .We replaced a Kodak bridge camera with this this has an eye view finder on it as the kodak didn't it was difficult to see the screen in bright light . This is the same but u can then turn to the eye view finder but this is not very good as auto focus doesn't work very good. And i can't view anything through my glasses . We have a little fugi film pocket camera that gives me better photos than this very poor. We are very disappointed we took it to anglesy and the photos of a seal through it was absolutely terible this is the first sony camera i have bought and it will be my last. I will stick with the little fugi film that is only 14 mp rather than be disapointed

i am handicapped, by not having enough blood O2, so I can't walk anywhere. we drive around to find something to take a picture. with this camera I can sit in the car and take a picture of something a long way away and get an enlargeable picture to sell. people wonder how I got such a beautiful picture. I want to buy another of this camera but can't find anywhere that sells it. I have taken so many pictures that the camera is wearing out.

DSC-H400 22 March 2019 by Johnnyz (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
I bought this after a couple of years with a Sony compact zoom just for the extra zoom. The majority of my photography is on safari in Africa so I need a viewfinder, this camera has one but would benefit from a rubber eye cap fitting. The camera is easy to use, takes great photographs with detail down to whisker follicles on wild dogs. You can also manually create photos with aperture or shutter priority. My only other wish would be a manual focus and zoom facility

DSC-H400 13 June 2018 by Abraxos (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
This camera is a dream to use. The menu system is clear and uncomplicated, and the diopter, though not of the best quality, is sufficient to do the job. The resulting images are clear, although will always benefit from a little judicial sharpening at the higher resolutions. All in all, a wonderful camera for it's cost.

DSC-H400 11 May 2018 by Phil02 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
Only have started to familiarise myself with the DSC-H400, but seems to fit the bill an de meeting my expectations. Bought as replacement of my old Fuji FinePix S5600 (which feels tiny in hands now). And as an alternative to my Nikon 3100 + 18-55mm + Tamron 300. Still have to carry out field test (travelling soon for 3 weeks in Madagascar) but already find easy to handle. Liking 63x zoom ( probably most important point in buying decision process). Only minus for now is the lack of cord/tie from camera to lense cover, meaning when shooting need to hold/drop or put in a pocket. Happy otherwise!

Sony - DSC-H400 Good and not quite so good
DSC-H400 10 May 2018 by Belmont36 (United Kingdom) Verified Purchaser Verified
In general the camera is very easy to use, picture quality has surprised me by how good it is and the ZOOM. Superb !! This was the feature the camera was bought for and it has not in the slightest disappointed. Even when using the digital zoom, picture degradation is less than expected. Not so good points - speed of writing to the SD card. Even when using lower quality setting, somewhat slower than expected. But does this detract from the camera overall - that depends upon the type of subject you'll be photographing. Finally, I haven't yet found a dedicated macro setting. A slight annoyance.
