Sony HX20V opinions anyone

[Mark Grant]

Really liking my Sony RX100 and I need to buy something similar for my wife.

There is a cashback offer on some Sony models at the moment and the HX20V looks interesting,

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX20V Super Advanced High Zoom: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics

Anyone bought or tried one ?

They are supposed to be excellent within thier class Mark! I've seen some very impressive shots taken on them!

Thanks Hamish

I have just bought one as the amazon price is low and if the cash back goes through OK will only cost an actual £189 and £38.17 of the price is VAT

Your RX100 thread has made me spend but it has been worth it as my Canon 60D and bag of L lenses has not left the house since buying the RX100 and these new sony compacts are amazing travel cameras, just so fast and makes older model Canon and Fuji compacts handle like dinosaurs !

Just had a fantastic two week holiday in the sun with the Sony in my shorts pocket and no big cameras to carry around and grabbed some excellent street shots.
