The Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V features great automatic shooting modes (plus limited manual controls), several gimmicky-sounding features that are actually useful, a GPS that works quietly in the background, and 1080/60p movie mode.

Those planning on making large prints or inspecting images at 100% on their computer screen. Manual control and burst mode enthusiasts may also find the HX20V a bit lacking.
