Its 30x zoom range isn't the biggest around but pretty much everything else about the HX100V follows the theme of bigger, faster and more, from its 16-megapixel sensor to its 1080/50p video recording. The 3in articulated screen is seriously sharp, ther...

The Sony HX100V is a great buy considering the fact that you are not looking at professional photography. If you are looking for a better camera the best bet is to buy one of the lower-end DSLR's that Canon and Nikon offer and fall under the same price...

The rather frightening price of Sony's DSC-HX100V puts it firmly in DSLR territory. And from a distance, that's exactly what it looks like. It's chunky, which means it's comfortable to hold, and there's a brilliant 3in articulated LCD with a 921kpixel re...

With its nice design, high-quality lens, good sensor and advanced image processing, the Sony Cyber-shot HX100V has everything it takes to become one of 2011's top bridges. It's just a shame there's no RAW mode, as not all users will appreciate the came...
