HX5V is another Great Sony Camera

Sony
Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V 10.2 MP Digital Camera w/ 3.0" LCD
(SNDSCHX5V)
Pros: Very good screen, Very Versatile, Very good lens, Does everything well, Easy to use
Cons: Needs Manual Features, A bit clunky
Other Comments: After 7 years with the Sony P200, I was looking for a step up. The HX5V looked to be a very well engineered and thought out camera and it doesn't disapoint. I knew going in that it was an automated camera but I do like to play with the flash and that is only an option in the Program Mode. After a few hundred shots, I'm happy with my choice. Ergonomically, it's a very comfortable camera and the telephoto does not require a tripod...just steady yourself. I also like the wide angle lens feature. The SCN Mode has 11 features, but I'll probably use everyone.
Yes, I recommend this product

Pros: 1080 HD Movies, Compass, Gps, 10x Zoom, Low light shots, Up to 10 fps burst, Anti Shake

Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V 10.2 MP Digital Camera w/ 3.0" LCD
(SNDSCHX5V)
Pros: Great panaroma feature, Great low-light photos, Crystal-Clear movies, Easy to use
Cons: Needs more manual options
Other Comments: This is a great camera for the price. It takes stunning photos in low light conditions. It also takes great HD movies and the ability to zoom while taking a movie is very handy. I've also used the manual shutter speed and aperture settings to take some great pictures at night. Daytime photos are very crisp and it pics up colors very well, although not 100% accurate every time. There may be camera that take slightly better pictures for the price, but you can't beat the feature set on this one.

Great Things Can Come In Small Packages

Review submitted for
Sony
Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V 10.2 MP Digital Camera w/ 3.0" LCD
(SNDSCHX5V)
Pros: Full featured, Compact, Fast, Awesome zoom, Anti-Motion Blur
Cons: Rechargable battery, Didn't Come in Red -
Other Comments: When I began looking for a new camera, I was looking for the most compact camera with the features I used. I use some manual features, but like the quick settings for most things. I love the 10x optical zoom. The anti-motion blur takes multiple pictures and combines them into one clear image something I have used often since getting it. The smart setting chooses the right setting for the situation, helping you take advantage of all the features the camera offers. The small size makes it able to go in a small case or slip into my pocket when I am on an outing with my kids. Another feature I like is that when taking a video, you are able to adjust the zoom somewhat and there is a video button, making it simple to change from photos to video and back. This is one of the first Sony cameras to take a regular SD card, a higher class card takes faster pictures.
Things I don't like about the camera: takes a special rechargeable battery (my old one was AA and I used lithium batteries that lasted forever!)and I feel like I am changing batteries often, so have a spare or two. The camera did not come in red, a small detail.
Yes, I recommend this product

Good performance in a small camera

Review submitted for
Sony
Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V 10.2 MP Digital Camera w/ 3.0" LCD
(SNDSCHX5V)
Pros: Sharp pictures, Small but big features, Easy to use
Cons: Lost memory of date
Other Comments: Camera is small and intuitive to use. I had an old point and shoot Sony Camera, and this one takes better pictures and operates fast enough to catch pictures of my active toddler. The zoom is great and I've gotten some really good shots in low light that my previous camera choked on. It's a great little camera for a pocket, purse, or travel. My only complaint is that the camera has lost my date and time info twice now and I've had to re-enter it. Not a big deal, but it slowed me down from taking a picture on two occasions as a result.
