Sony Cyber-shot HX30V Digital Camera Review

Features

The HX30V, like many recently-released Sony compact cameras, comes loaded with a number of impressive tricks and in-camera options. Sony's iSweep panorama is perhaps the most impressive thing that point-and-shoots can do these days, and it's only because it's a feature that shows up in practically every Sony compact that, if anything, it feels like old hat. Add to that the HX30V's extras like creative control, easy mode, several scene modes, multi-shot noise reduction, HDR shooting, and superior auto modes and you have a camera that will fit the needs of most novice shooters. Add to that the camera's compact size and impressive 20x zoom and you have a very feature-rich compact camera.
