The better the lens, the better the picture. Carl Zeiss® Lens DSC-W650, WX50, WX70, TX66, TX200V, TX20, HX200V For superior sharpness, excellent contrast and color accuracy, professional photographers depend on Carl Zeiss® lenses. That's because they can be relied upon to consistently maintain the resolution, contrast, illumination and color of photos - from the center all the way to the corners. These diverse lenses offer wide angles up to 25mm equivalent, which make it easier to get better group shots in tight confines and focal lengths up to 870mm equivalent on the HX200V for great shots even from far away. G Lens DSC-W690, WX150, H90, HX10V, HX20V, HX30V To help you get the best shots, Sony's G Lens covers a wide focal length range and provides exceptional contrast and sharpness. An excellent example is the G Lens of the Cyber-shot® DSC-HX20V which covers a broad range from 25mm equivalent wide-angle to 500mm equivalent telephoto. Consisting of 12 elements in 9 groups, this lens includes 4 aspherical elements and an extra-high refractive index element to minimize chromatic aberration. Sony's G Lens is also capable of very high zoom functionality. DSC-HX20V offers a high optical zoom of 20x which is excellent for use at sporting events, wildlife, distant landscape views and dramatic portrait shots. 8 Advanced Aspherical Element DSC-W690, WX150, HX20V, HX30V For 2012, Sony was able to double the optical zoom ratio in lenses that are as much as 54% thinner than last year's. It's an incredible feat of optical engineering, made possible by Sony's Advanced Aspherical (AA) lens element. By controlling chromatic aberration on the image plane, the AA element enables the lens to be not only substantially thinner than last year, but also up to 37% smaller in diameter. At its center, the AA element is just 0.3 mm thick (about 1/100 inch). Molding and shaping the element requires extraordinary precision. And that's exactly what Sony achieves. The result? Maximum zoom in minimum size - with no sacrifice in image performance! Highlighted in green, Sony's Advanced Aspherical element is the secret behind higher zoom in a thinner camera.
