Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX100V


$599.00 Released January, 2011

Product Shot 1 The Pros:30x optical zoom (27-810mm 35mm equivalent). HDMI output for direct playback of images and video onto a compatible HDTV / display. Sony's proprietary 3D modes.

The Cons:No hotshoe. GPS is a big drain on the battery - lowers the number of shots by 1/3rd, from 300 to 200. Flash behavior must be toggled in the cameras software - no dedicated flash button.

The Sony Cyber-shot HX100V is a compact digital camera. This camera is equipped with a 16.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, which is back-illuminated. The back-illuminated design increases the amount of total light captured, and therefore improves low light performance.
