Cameras at the top end of the compact market have to work hard to maintain their positions, due to competition from less expensive compact system cameras and advanced point-and-shoot models. Loosely termed ‘travel compacts’, these models feature a range o...
Advances in technology have allowed travel compact cameras to remain competitive, and Sony has pushed the standard even higher with the Cyber-shot HX20V. Although it is not the most creative camera in terms of manual control, the HX20V allows great pictur...

This camera has an 18-megapixel sensor and an image-stabilised 25mm-500mm (film equivalent) lens. Zoom action is smooth. There is GPS built in and the 75mm LCD is a fine, bright, high-definition viewer. The body is bulky and heavy for a compact but it is the mass and volume that speaks quality of construction...
Our constant complaint about excessive pixel counts is getting a bit monotonous, so let's approach it from another angle. If your intended photo output is sharing on the interweb or printing up to postcard size, you won't notice the smudging. The Sony is...

Auto white balance is astonishing. Under a variety of light setups, from incandescent to florescent and daylight the colour is almost always spot on, or so little off true that it is easily corrected.
There is fine detail smudging at even the lowest ISO setting, caused by aggressive noise reduction made necessary by the high pixel density. Bleeding reds are a problem but reducing the saturation in the main menu helps...

Stuff magazine Wed, Jun 13 2012, 3:17PM We think a compact camera should be easy to use in any situation, fast to react and if it can make a camcorder redundant, so much the better. Sony's DSC-HX20V does all of that, building on the success of the...

Pocket ultra-zoom cameras combine point-and-shoot simplicity with a big zoom to help frame shots more creatively, and are a worthwhile upgrade to a smartphone's camera that can't zoom at all. The HX20V is the pricier of two such models in Sony current...

The Sony HX20V takes over from the HX9V that we reviewed last year as the flagship travel compact within Sony's Cyber-shot compact digital camera range. There is, of course, the HX200V with its 30x zoom, however given the dimensions of that model it's muc...

The HX20V is undoubtedly a stylish looking camera that's very much in keeping with its slightly higher than average price tag. Our review sample came in a shade of grey with a slight amethyst hue to it (think Asus Transformer Prime, but more subtle) altho...

The Sony Cyber-shot HX20V is part of Sony’s summer refresh of its compact camera range. The update to the excellent HX9V, the HX20V’s title digits may have jumped by a margin of 11, but can this latest model crank up the performance dial by similar pr...

Much pricier than the competition, no aperture or shutter priority, wide-angle suffers sharpness and purple fringing issues to edges, menus can be a little slow to react, shot-to-shot time could be faster...
A great zoom range crammed into a small body and stacks of features including super-fast autofocus work in the HX20V’s favour. But the near-£400 price tag is extortionate compared to the competition, particularly when image quality is no more refined t...

We received our Sony HX20V at the same time as a Nikon S9200. When unboxing them, we were struck by certain similarities.Naturally, the cameras' size and weight are quite close—they're models from equivalent ranges and so the same technical restriction...
Good build quality, design and handling, Good screen with relatively accurate display quality, Full HD video at up to 50p with stereo sound, Advanced image processing, digital noise kept in check, Very good general responsiveness...
No RAW mode and Jpeg shots are quite heavily processed—too processed for some users, Lens quality could be more consistent, especially at mid and long focal lengths...
The Sony HX20V is a very nice camera indeed. It has plenty of features, offers good performances, and takes great pictures ... so long as you don't mind their slightly 'processed' look. The lens, however, could deliver more consistent levels of sharpne...
