Top Rated Gear: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V Digital Camera, 18.2MP, 1/2.3" Exmor R CMOS Sensor, Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar Lens, 30x Optical Zoom, 3.0" LCD, USB, Black Model: Sony HX200V, Resolution: 18 MP

The camera seems to work as advertised and pretty much as noted by other reviewers.  The viewfinder is a plus in bright conditions or if you need to put on your glasses to see the LCD. The backlight correction (HDR) feature significantly improves picture quality when shooting with hazy skies and in high contrast situations.  The lack of a printed manual is an irritant (but not surprising) and the online / in-camera manual is not well written.  Overall it seems like an excellent camera for someone who wants better pictures and more control than is available with most point and shoot cameras but doesn't want the added cost and size of a DSLR.

So far so good

It's very good camera. I have about 4 cameras of Sony and I'm glad to bought it

I would buy this product again and again

I purchased this camera for the sole reason of taking night-time pictures. It has a low ISO of 100 and a shutter / aperature rating of 30". I was amazed by the quality of photos this bad boy takes. It has a POWERFUL zoom (up to 60x!) and the photos you can take is just amazing.

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!

It is a few steps up for me from Fujifilm Finepix s2950. It has better image quality, good zoom and good in low light congition. But it does take a little long to process low light shots and wish it has a bigger sensor for more detail shots.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX200V

A few steps up from my Fujifilm finepix s2950 in a bit more cast. Pretty good image quality, Nice zoom, so much better in low light condition and easy to use. But the panorama shot doesn't work as well as expected and take a little time for processing low light shots. Overall, it is a pretty good camera.

This is my first high pixel count camera and am so far very pleased, especially at this price point.  I think it's a good value(and I'm not necessarily a SONY fan).  It's better than a pocket point and shoot(and larger of course), but not nearly as complicated as a DSLR.  It probably has more features than I will use, but I haven't explored them all either.

1st high MP camera

I first saw this camera's results on my niece's FB page, I was impressed at the color and sharpness of the landscapes and family photos. I then saw that my sister decided to get one and loved it. They were followed by another family member.  For the fact that it had the movie option, and my old Sony did not, I decided to upgrade. Also the zoom and macro are amazing, without the need for lens changes. I've been a film enthusiast and have enjoyed my older Sony, but this camera is a nice step up.
