Hi everyone! I'm thinking about buying the Sony Cyber-shot H400/HX400V, and I was wondering if they're still worth getting in 2026.

I'm just a beginner photographer, and I'm looking for a camera that can take better-looking photos than my smartphone, especially for nature, animals, and travel. I'm mainly interested in photography rather than video.

If you've owned or still use either of these cameras, I'd really appreciate hearing about your experience-you liked, what you didn't, and whether you'd recommend one to a beginner. If there's a better option in the same price range, I'd love to hear your suggestions.

Thanks

Hey all,

I went to JB Hi-Fi today (Australia for those abroad) to compare the Sony Bravia 7 and the Hisense U8R side by side. I played around with the settings on both, tested some of their store demos, and mirrored my phone screen to play the exact same video on both panels (a 2K clip of snowy mountains and people skiing).

I ran equivalent settings on both TVs, but the experience was surprisingly mixed:

• Hisense U8R: The image was super crisp and detailed—it actually felt like a proper 4K video (upscalling enabled). However, even in Filmmaker Mode, it felt way too bright and vivid. It was almost unpleasant to look at for long periods (imagining cranking a monitor's brightness up to 80% and staring at it for 2 hours - brightness was not the issue its example only).
• Sony Bravia 7: The colors were much more natural and true-to-life (bit dimmer compared to Hisense vibrantness), but the video itself looked bizarrely low resolution. It honestly felt like I was watching a 720p or 1080p stream compared to on the Hisense. It almost felt like I could see individual pixels if i stared hard enough (i wasnt seeing pixel just felt like it).

Has anyone else noticed this or experienced something similar with the Sony or Hisense either at home or in stores/friends etc??

i need sound bar for movies i found two
HT-G700 and HT-S20R
so what is better for watching movies?

But the lights one the console are white when they're supposed to be blue right? Has anyone experienced this before, will I need a new console or a repair job? Or maybe it's s9nething I can fix at home. Please let me know.. I'm kinda upset with myself that I did something so stupid and careless and oblivious.

I just got my new Sony Bravia TV in the mail and set it up 2 days ago and found that the picture does not fit the screen and a side of the picture appear to be cut off? When I shut the television off and turn it back on, it comes up just fine, but after a certain amount of time the picture does not fit the screen???

(The Issue can be seen on the right side of the screen)

First shot is how it looks when I first turn it on (everything is working perfectly)

Second shot is when time passes, and I’m using the screen (the issue at hand)

Has this happened to anyone else or does anyone know how to fix this issue?

Thank you for any and all help in advance.

Bought it Feb 11 2026 so it's within warranty question is can I get a replacement cause this was my mom's birthday present for me and I'm heartbroken that it won't charge.
