Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V

The 18 MP are irrelevant: the actual sharpness is disappointing, equivalent to a good 10MP only! There are many features to like in this camera - zoom range, quality of the LCD screen, the 'Auto Macro' function (all compact cameras should have it), 3 customized programs - but also a few shortcomings: burried ISO and exposure controls, only two apertures - maximum and ~+3IL.

I had a chance to play with this camera for a few days over the weekend and came away very impressed. I've used a DSLR (Canon 450D) for the past few years, with an iPhone for the occasional snapshot, so I was interested to see how far compact digital cameras had come. The FX20 packs in a whole heap of features that make it an ideal travel companion: The size is nice and compact It has an excellent 20x optical zoom, and the digital zoom to 40x is actually very good The image stabilisation is ...

I tried to zoom on one corner of the store and the image didnt blur even when i keept zooming, so its safe to conclude that the zoom is very powerful. I am a ...

I have a DSC HX9V and have used it extensively - and largely happy with the camera in both still and movie format. I was hoping the new DSC-HX20V would have had a OLED screen for daylight use and USB3 connectivity and sufficient on board RAM to permit a number of single shots to be taken without a storage/write delay. Also would like to see a second button alongside the Custom button for 16:9 or 4:3 selection. I think the many user requests for a larger sensor would result in a much smaller ...
