What a camera... 190 mm Carl Zeiss zoom lens, great electronics, clean and sharp image quality... Call my cynical but I didn't really expect much out of what was basically an F505 (don't get me wrong, good camera) with a 3.3 megapixel CCD shoe-horned into it. But Sony came up trumps with the F505V. So much so in fact that my conclusion will probably surprise a lot of people.
