Another pocket superzoom – and with a 16x zoom lens to boot! I really believe 2011 is the year of the pocket superzoom camera!
What is the price in USA?
Prices were in the announcement. The cameras will cost $450 and $350.
SONY HX100 very better of Canon SX30 i like it
which camera is better DSC-HX9V or the Panasonic ZS10? especially image quality and quickness. thanks

let us hope that Sony has responded finally to the widely reported soft image problem which plagued the otherwise superb DSC-HX5V which with some moderate firmware adjustment to lessen excessive noise reduction at low ISO could have been the undisputed class leader, instead of an interesting but flawed camera.
What a wasted opportunity!
looking at zs10 and hx7 samples i can predict hx9 and hx100 image quality – crap! this is the year i graduate to a larger sensor camera. tired of of these smear machines.
