About the event
Insiders know that the best views of Sydney's Festival of Lights are from the harbour - and we don't mean the water's edge.
Join digiDirect and Sony for a very special event aboard 'Hamptons Sydney' - a purpose-built vessel with great stability, an outdoor roof deck, and a lower wrap-around glassed main deck providing plenty of photo opportunities. You'll capture the lights of Vivid from Sydney's very best vantage points during our 2 (plus) hour Vivid Photographic Experience.

Representatives from Sony will be on hand with equipment for you to try out. This cruise will be taking off before sunset with a focus on the ZV range of cameras. With incredible features like AI Subject Recognition and framing, you can learn how to take your content creation to the next level. Get hands on with the ZV-1 II, ZV-E10, ZV-1 & more! Plus a huge range of lenses.
If you're not a Sony shooter, don't worry! This event is for photographers & creators of all levels. Whether you're a novice with a smartphone or a seasoned pro, you'll be able to capture incredible views and talk to industry experts.
Food and drinks will be provided throughout the evening. The bar will also be open for the purchase of harder liquor.
Attendees will receive a $50 digiDirect voucher for their next online purchase (via email after the event)
IMPORTANT: Attendees must be at King St Wharf 6, 15 minutes early to ensure embarkation.
We have a strict allotted 15-minute window at the dock, so if you're not at the embarkation point on time, you will miss the boat.
Bring your camera gear, and remember to bring plenty of memory cards and charged batteries. Tripods are welcome, although we can't guarantee everyone will have the opportunity to use them. Also, we're not strict on branding, so it doesn't matter if you're using a different brand's camera on the event night - it's all about the experience. Sony will have gear available to test on the night - please ensure you bring an SD card if you would like to test their cameras and take your images home with you.
This is a ticketed, private event with limited places, and it's sure to be an unforgettable VIVID experience.
