Product ReviewsSony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V 18.2MP Digital Camera - Black

View Finder makes it a deal

Aside from the great Leica optics, the View Finder makes it easy to compose your photo. I like downloading my photos to my camera at the end of the day using the WiFi feature. Camera has advanced features similar to DSLR such as setting your aperture or shutter.

Only downside is that the instruction manual is really hard to follow.Read full review...

Issues with saving pictures and videos

The camera needs a software update to save pictures and videos to a DVD. the program Play Memories to save pictures and videos Sony wants to use on the camera, will not copy any MP4 videos to a DVD , I would like to copy both pictures and MP4 videos to a DVD. to watch on both a computer and DVD player. Hoping i can load pictures and video with the program Rixo easy copy, but it is a extra expense I should not need to have. I also wish it could copy GPS location directly to finished pictures and videos. Read full review...

Sony DSC-HX80: small pocket camera overcomes cellphone limitations

There are advantages of Sony's pocket camera over a cellphone camera:

Fits in any pocket (iPhone7 limitation). Not heavy or bulky, good for walking the city or
countryside.

Takes 3 shots and averages them, removes motion and exposure errors. This feature
supports indoor wide angle and telephoto shots in low light such as the inside of a Cathedral.
Setting for 90% of all photos: amber-colored "i", camera icon,"+" on mode dial called
SUPERIOR AUTO.

Viewfinder for harsh outdoor light and sports. Flip LCD for framing selfies and ground-level
shots like flowers, a mountain brook or a fish tank.

Optical telephone and wide angle shots simply impossible with a cellphone.

The inconvenient features include recording GPS data only by transferring the photos to a
cellphone that has the GPS catalog feature (i.e. iPhone). There is a installed APP available
for the transfers, but too inconvenient for daily use. Android Near Field Connect untried.
It may be convenient to do that at the end of the day, but not after every open-close of the
camera, as is done by the iPhone APP (one APP on the camera, one on the iPhone).

The supplied USB cable worked to download photos from camera to Linux Mint 17.3
(=Ubuntu 14.04) and Windows 8.1. No test of Windows 10 or Archlinux. The USB cable
has dual-duty as a charging cable or connector to an external power bank
(i.e., AnkerDirect products). Liked the amber charging indicator.

The learning curve required reading all the online Sony manuals for HX80. It took about one
week to try out all the features. Good to have the possibility to solve a difficult shooting
situation, on the spot, by traversing the menu. The in-camera manual was invaluable a few
time already, to decipher the menu itself.Read full review...

Packs a lot of punch

I purchased this for 3 reasons: 1) my point and shoot was dieing; 2) this has a pop-up viewfinder -- so frustrating when you can't see what you're shooting; and 3) powerful zoom. I may change to 5 stars once I use it more (there's way too much for me to use; as is with most hardware these days); not too keen on all the wi-fi they use nowadays with hacking but I'll only use a cable. But love the zoom feature for wildlife.Read full review...

FAST SHUTTER SPEED -- THE BEST SMALL CAMERA - POWERFUL

As a professional photographer I went through many camera's before finally calling Cameta Camera and requesting a recommendation of a compact camera with a FAST Shutter Speed. I take photos daily...and often many, many photos a day. I work this little camera to death and it holds up better than ANY I have ever had. I love all the options it offers. It's POWERFUL with Clear, Crisp photos that take you into the deepest grooves of a finger print (macro) or zooms well across large areas to bring you close up (zoom). The video is just as crisp and clear. You can get all the details of this camera anywhere on the net but when a Camera Shop makes a recommendation, you know you are getting a quality product. SONY has long been known for it's Quality and it hasn't disappointed me at any level. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on all the other products I used before finding this camera. RECOMMEND USE WITH SONY CARD READERS for the BEST RESULTS. 5 STARS Honestly Isn't Enough! Spend a little more and get a LOT MORE RETURN of what you need, want and desire. Amazing little camera. I'll never be without one. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CAMERA FOR YOU!!! Read full review...

great pictures --- but

This camera is way more than a point and shoot, with manual controls plus many scene modes. I need a compact camera and the 30X tele lens is amazing. My major concern is that I cannot see what I am shooting at on sunny days either with the screen or through the viewfinder. Maybe there is a contrast feature that I have not discovered yet.Read full review...

See your subjects on a bright day with the handy pop-up view finder!

I purchased this camera for my husband because he has had camera envy ever since he bought me the identical model last year. He has an SLR and a point & shoot, but this one knocks his socks off! With the pivoting LCD and the built in view finder, he can shoot in any kind of lighting. It has many options built into this little camera that allows you to shoot so many different effects. He doesn't have to fumble around setting up for a shot, then miss it because he couldn't work fast enough. I always carry it with me to get that perfect shot. It's quick, it's easy and it's fun! I would absolutely recommend this camera to anyone interested in getting professional looking photos, with little effort. It's size is small enough to stash it away in a pocket or a purse. This makes it perfect for traveling, or just going to the beach.Read full review...

Excellent value with lots of features

I was a little skeptical about the compact digital cameras in general. Because I have an i-phone which does everything reasonably well - photos & videos. But this digital camera does everything way better - fast,easy to use both photos & videos, most of all I like the zoom capability & GPS feature.Read full review...

Good but not perfect

This HX-90V is as good as HX--50V that I have in terms of Photo quality. Pro: it has a flip up screen for selfie, very convenient. Con: you can not take still photo during video recording. This is a big drawback for this camera.Read full review...

Sony HX90V

The Sony HX90V is a small sensor camera that will easily fit into a pocket. It has everything that could possibly be put on such a small camera. The EVF is very good as is the screen. Where the rubber meets the road in a camera, picture quality, I was surprised. At low ISO the quality is very good decreasing as expected at higher ISO. There is no RAW and I do not miss it. I have found that a little more dynamic range can be squeezed out of RAW in cameras that have RAW but not picture quality. I would say the HX90V is the best small sensor pocket camera made.
