Sony's commitment to delivering products that move people emotionally, also known as Kando', has been recognised with a record six awards from EISA (European Imaging and Sound Association), the largest editorial multimedia organisation in Europe.
Recognising leading technology spanning the television, digital imaging, home theatre and mobile product divisions, the awards demonstrate the success of Sony's commitment to producing high-quality, reliable products that customers can use with confidence.
European Professional Compact System Camera of the year 2014-2015: 7R
Beautifully styled and easy to hold on lengthy assignments, the 7R is a no-compromise camera that puts the needs of advanced users first. Front and back dials plus a control wheel and exposure compensation dial allow intuitive adjustments while framing shots through the high-contrast, high resolution XGA OLED Tru-Finder or on the tiltable 3.0-type LCD screen.
The 35mm full-frame Exmor CMOS sensor incorporates light concentration and photo diode expansion technologies and also features a new gapless' on-chip lens design that eliminates gaps between adjacent pixels. These advances increase light collection efficiency, achieving outstanding resolution, sensitivity and low noise while circumventing the challenge of decreased pixel size due to the extremely high pixel count.
European Compact Camera of the year 2014-2015: DSC-RX100 III
Crafted in tough, travel-friendly aluminium for lightness and looks, the Cyber-shot RX100 III builds on the acclaimed reputation of its predecessors. An uprated lens and speedy image processor are complemented by a retractable OLED Tru-Finder with ZEISS T* coating, enhanced movie features and a 180-degree tilting LCD - all in a stylish fixed-lens camera that's truly pocket-sized.
European Camcorder of the year 2014-2015: FDR-AX100
The FDR-AX100E is the first 4K Handycam that features a large back-illuminated 1.0-type Exmor R CMOS sensor. Far larger than the sensor in normal consumer camcorders, this captures flawless 4K Ultra HD images (3840 x 2160 pixels) with four times the detail of Full HD while also allowing beautiful bokeh background blur effects.
The 4K sensor is paired with Sony's ultra-powerful BIONZ X processor that employs area-specific noise reduction and detail reproduction technology for incredibly vivid, lifelike footage that's closer than ever to reality. Together with the camcorder's advanced Cinematone Gamma/Colour function, progressive 25p recording gives a sumptuously warm, rich look to your footage.
European 4K Ultra HD TV of the year 2014-2015: KDL-65X9005B
This season's big-screen 4K TV, the BRAVIA X9, offers the best from Sony with stunning pictures and premium sound complemented by ground-breaking styling. Pictures are brighter and more powerful than ever with new X-tended Dynamic Range . Unique TRILUMINOS Display continues to evoke the full emotion of every scene with rich, vivid reds and emerald greens. Everything is immaculately up-scaled by the powerful 4K X-Reality PRO processing engine. Whether youre watching 4K or HD, Sony's special 4K image database ensures lifelike textures, dramatic colours and contrast. The unique Wedge' structure of the X9 TV increases stability, allows simple cable connections and a larger speaker capacity to deliver richer, more powerful sound.
European Tablet of the year 2014-2015: Xperia Z2 Tablet
With Xperia Z2 Tablet, Sony has developed a tablet that is both beautifully sleek and portable. Using premium materials, every single detail has been carefully crafted to create the world's slimmest (only 6.4mm) and lightest (only 426g for Wi-Fi model and 439g for LTE/3G model) waterproof tablet1 on the planet, making it extremely portable and comfortable to hold, even with just one hand. Sony's acclaimed OmniBalance design creates an elegant shape that is delightfully slim yet reassuringly solid, providing balance and symmetry in all directions for a comfortable hold and beautiful look from all angles. And as you would expect from Sony, this lightweight beauty is also entirely waterproof taking everyday life in its stride.
European Digital Source of the year 2014-2015: HAP-Z1ES
Meticulously engineered to true audiophile standards, the HAP-Z1ES HDD Audio Player extracts the finest musical details from today's High Resolution audio files. Music files are stored on the player's 1TB hard drive, and can be transferred - wirelessly or via a cable connection - from your PC or Mac using the HAP Music Transfer' application. The app automatically syncs with fresh downloads, so your player's hard drive is always up to date.

European Professional Compact System Camera of the year 2014-2015: 7R
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.
European Compact Camera of the year 2014-2015: DSC-RX100 III
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 F
