Great zoom, but poor quality. Not a good value for money :(
5 of 5 found this helpful I bought the camera as a gift, mostly for the big zoom capabilities.
It is our second camera, alongside a rugged Olympus that has limited zoom, but excellent quality.
The quality of pictures on the Sony HX20V is poor. When zooming in the pixels to 1:1 it is all grainy, even in low ISO. And it fails in comparison to when looking at 1:1 zoom-in of our tough Olympus (bare in mind the tough Olympus is meant to be tough and not high quality, but it still beats the Sony).
On the plus side, the Sony has a whole lot of features. We like to play around with the different HDR functions. The videos are excellent, back-light correction is interesting, and sweep panoramas are a treat (the Olympus for ex. doesn't have that feature).
