The GPS-enabled DSC-HX100V features Sony's newly-developed back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor, and is capable of recording full 1080p60 HD videos. For still photography the HX100V offers 10fps continuous shooting. The HX100V boasts a 30x (27-810mm equiv.) optical zoom lens and a 921k dot display, and it can generate both high resolution panoramas and also 3D images.

| Summary | The HX100V combines abundant external control points, DSLR-style ergonomic handling and an extremely versatile 30x zoom range. Image quality is better than average for a compact-sized sensor. Unfortunately, the camera's slow startup time and sluggish operational response can lead to missed photo opportunities. |
| Good for | Shooters looking for a DSLR-like handling experience with an EVF and a wide zoom range. |
| Not so good for | More experienced shooters who like to tweak settings between each shot. Those who prefer a small pocketable camera. |
