Για την ιαπωνική εταιρία το να παραδίδουν προϊόντα που συγκινούν συναισθηματικά τον πελάτη είναι το θέμα, και το ονομάζουν ‘Kando’. Και φαίνεται πως με έξι βραβεία EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association) σε κατηγορίες audio, home theatre, in-car electronics, mobile electronics, photo και η επιτυχία επιβραβεύεται…
Για να δούμε σε πρώτη ματιά…
Sony Alpha 7R
Οι κριτές λένε: “By managing to squeeze a 35mm full‐frame sensor into such a small mirrorless compact system camera, Sony has created a world first, and at a remarkable price. With 36 megapixels and no anti‐aliasing filter, the Alpha 7R offers extremely high resolution, currently the highest of any CSC, and the Sony BIONZ X processor enables high ISO sensitivity up to 25,600, with relatively low noise. The contrast‐based AF system is fast and decisive, while the superb electronic viewfinder and 3 inch tiltable screen offer bright, clear viewing. Remote shooting and wireless image transfer are also available courtesy of the built‐in Wi‐Fi and NFC.”
RX100 III
Για την ήδη πετυχημένη compact: “With the Cyber‐shot DSC‐RX100 III, Sony has improved on a camera that was already one of the best compacts available. Retaining the high‐resolution, 20‐megapixel, 1‐inch CMOS sensor of its predecessor, the RX100 III manages, incredibly, to squeeze in a high‐quality 1.44‐million‐dot pop‐up OLED electronic viewfinder while retaining the same pocket‐sized body. Its fast F1.8‐2.8 Zeiss Vario‐Sonnar T* lens with a full‐frame‐equivalent focal range of 24‐70mm, together with Sony’s BIONZ X image processor, guarantees high‐resolution, low‐noise images even in low‐light conditions. The RX100 III also features a 180‐degree‐tiltable WhiteMagic LCD 3in display with 1.23 million dots, a built‐in 3EV ND filter, full HD movies, and Wi‐Fi/NFC connectivity for both wireless image sharing and camera control via smartphone or tablet.”
FDR-AX100
Μια καινοτομία 4Κ: “Owners of 4K/Ultra HD TVs can create their own 4K content with Sony’s feature‐packed camcorder. Employing a compact and lightweight design, but offering high‐quality components, it provides filmmakers with a state‐of‐the‐art creative tool. The Carl Zeiss Vario‐Sonnar T* lens is joined by a 1‐inch Exmor R CMOS sensor and provides 12x optical zoom. Several recording modes, three ND Filter Functions and easy‐to‐use adjustments that you usually would expect from a professional device give the user full control, while the pro‐grade BIONZ X processor enables recording with 4K at 25fps, Full HD at 50fps in XAVCS format and capturing slow‐motion footage at 100 fps. Meanwhile, the OLED viewfinder, Wi‐Fi/NFC connection, SteadyShot image stabilisation and scene selection modes make the FDR‐AX100E a pleasure to use. Short of 4K content? Not any more…”
Sony KD-65X9005B
Στην κορυφή της τηλεόρασης: “Size, sound and Ultra HD resolution, all in one amazing package – Sony’s KD‐65X9005B is perfect for those seeking high‐end home entertainment thrills. Whether you’re viewing your own pictures and videos, upscaling Blu‐rays and TV broadcasts or streaming native 4K material, this 65‐inch LED screen impresses, particularly with the control given over its upscaling engine. Sony’s unique Triluminos technology offers a wide range of natural and realistic colours, while X‐tended Dynamic Range processing enables superb contrast. HDMI 2.0 support, an on‐board HEVC decoder and HDCP 2.2 compatibility make it ready for all foreseeable 4K content. And then there’s the audio. The ‘Wedge’ cabinet design and revamped Magnetic Fluid speakers combine to provide authentic bass and crisp, high frequencies – no other TV sounds as good. And if you want even more bass, Sony’s wireless SWF‐BR100 subwoofer is an option.”
Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet
Το καλύτερο Android tablet: “So slim, so classy, so slick ‐ the Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet is undoubtedly an EISA winner. This seductively designed tablet will impress the user with the astonishing image quality it provides via its 10.1‐inch LCD IPS display with a resolution of 1920×1200 pixels that delivers vivid colours, deep blacks and exceptional detail. Lightning fast, the Xperia Z2 Tablet is powered by a 2.3 GHz Quad‐Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor, uses 3 GB RAM and runs on the Android 4.4 operating system for an unrivalled mobile web experience.

Sony HAP-Z1ES
Η ώρα του hi res audio: “The multinational corporation responsible for audio milestones such as the revolutionary Walkman, the digital compact disc and SACD is embarking on another initiative to bring hi-fi replay back to the top of consumers’ wish lists. Its new ‘hi‐res audio’ separates are fronted by the HAP-Z1ES digital music file player featuring a built‐in 1TB hard drive and USB expansion port. The HAP-Z1ES connects to a home network via wired Ethernet or Wi-Fi, and it provides internet radio using the vTuner platform but it replays music files directly from its internal drive for a truly consistent and self‐contained performance. Dynamic and spacious, the HAP-Z1ES has the capacity to sound all the sweeter with its user-selectable DSD‐upsampling mode. It’s the perfect digital source for all your hi-res downloads.”
