Sony HX20V is
definitely the best travel zoom for
2012. Simply amazing. Great zoom, very good photo quality (very decent for a travel
zoom), good photos with low light (better than HX9V), amazing (stunning) macro,
fantastic video recording (the same quality as HX9V), decent battery life, very
good materials... in comparison, its main 2012's
competitors, Canon SX 240 - SX 260 and Nikon 9300, are not better in photo
quality (about the same quality) and are far worst in video quality (much worst.)
Canon's 24 fps in video is just ridiculous. Instead of a film look you get
jerky videos. I returned a Canon SX230 for that reason. Canon should definitely
do something about it. And Nikon 9300 is worst than both, at least for me. Not good enough. Many people bought the Sony
HX9V only because of a much better video quality compared to the rest,
especially compared to Canon’s SX 220-230, even if the photo quality was
slightly inferior, but the new Sony HX20V not only is still much better in
video but it also makes amazing pictures, at the Canon SX 240-260’s level. For
real. With regard to the HX20V's main disadvantages, I would say: a) price. Too
expensive! You can buy a Canon S100 for that price! B) manual control: still
no full manual control. Canon is better in that aspect.
