Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V digital camera
By Tim Moynihan (goodgearguide.com.au)Read the full review

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5V
By Oeo (cnet.com.au)Read the full user review
A perfect camera. Had issues with tones and clours. Solution - Go manual anf do not rely too much on technology. Very impressed with video capability of this camera. Transfer Jet not available in this part of the world, that is the main drawback.
Perfect point and shoot camera
Nothing. Had issues with slow GPS but with data update, it is breeze now

By Gwilym (cnet.com.au)Read the full user review
panorama mode works great but softens the image sometimes if ligh conditions are not optimal. Highly recommended for those who are looking for a pocket rocket.
Movie quality, smooth zoom. Picture quality
