The HX9V might actually be too much camera for some users and there are a couple of minor design issues
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V holds a lot of appeal for photographers who won't mind a camera that does things differently from the norm. If you're willing to trade away RAW shooting, aperture-priority mode, and shutter-priority mode for a range of inno...
Pleasant to use, good auto modes, Consistent lens quality, even when zooming, Full HD video mode recording 50 full frames per second, Improved sound quality, as good as Panasonic TZ cameras, Advanced image processing (accentuation of specific zones and detials)
Limited manual mode (only two aperture settings), GPS isn't sensitive enough, Using the GPS runs down the battery, Images can look overprocessed (block colours heavily smoothed)
The Sony Cyber-shot HX9V is a decidedly top-of-the-range camera. It's nice to use, user-friendly, reliable and has a selection of manual settings for users who don't want to rely on auto modes. The quality of the lens is a cut above most competitors an...

Brilliant LCD screen; excellent build quality; very good low-light image quality; manual exposure control; beautifully colored images; very good video quality.
Video recording takes a few seconds to initialize; can blow highlights when using auto modes, in-camera battery charging is a bit of a pain; no RAW capture.
The HX9V makes an ideal travel companion for those who enjoy life on the road, with a great feature set, including a 16x optical zoom lens. ...
