## Description

From the Manufacturer               Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX10V 18.2 MP Digital Camera with 16x Optical Zoom and 3.0-inch LCD       Capture 18.2 MP ultra-high definition images High speed AF improves focus speedGet up close with 16x optical/32x Clear Image zoom1Full HD 1080/60i with dual record of stills and movies1 Capture the decisive moment with up to 10fps Optical Image stabilization with improved active mode43D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama mode3Picture Effect for more expressive photos Photo Creativity allows easy photo adjustments  Background Defocus highlights your subject like a DSLR     Capture every moment and its GPS location automatically with the Sony DSC-HX10V. It's 16x optical/32x Clear Image zoom gets you closer for detailed 18.2 MP pictures, while optical stabilization provides for smooth Full HD videos and high speed AF. Enjoy features such as Photo Creativity, which lets you preview exposure, white balance, and Picture Effects before you shoot.  Key Features  18.2 Megapixel Exmor R CMOS Image SensorThe 18.2MP Exmor R CMOS sensor captures ultra-high definition images that take full advantage of the camera’s sharp Sony G lens. The sensor enables advanced processing that reduces noise levels, resulting in stunning low light images with incredible details.High speed AFTo improve focusing speed and sensitivity, the Exmor R CMOS sensor uses its rapid throughput to deliver high-quality image signals to the camera’s BIONZ processor. The result is fast, DSLR-like focusing speeds, even in low light. Optical zoom plus Clear image zoom Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos. Full HD 1080/60i Record crystal clear movies at the highest resolution available with capabilities for 60i in 1080 AVCHD video.1 This provides stunning, fast motion video with less distortion for playback on your HD TV.2 With dual record of stills and movies, you can shoot both at the same time. Capture the decisive moment with up to 10fps Capture full 18.2 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 frames per second, helping to ensure that the decisive moment is captured such as the soccer ball flying into the goal. In addition, a mechanical shutter helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects. Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode for blur-free movies even while walking.4 Camera-shake compensation using Optical SteadyShot/Active Mode has been improved with the addition of new electronic image stabilization.Now it’s easier than ever to obtain sharp, blur-free movies even when zooming in unsteady situations, such as shooting with one hand while walking.   3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama mode3 Produce awe-inspiring images with 3D still image and 3D Sweep Panorama capabilities.3 Photos will take on a new dimension of creative capabilities for viewing the world in a whole new way. Background Defocus DSLR photographs are often beautiful because they blur the background, putting the emphasis on the subject. Now our point-and-shoot cameras can deliver this signature DSLR benefit. The system takes two shots, identifies the background and applies a defocused background keeping the subject crisp and clear. Picture Effect for more expressive photos  Picture Effect adds a new level of expression to photos, making ordinary landscapes and portraits come to life by heightening mood and emphasizing certain attributes. Select camera models have up to nine different effects.  Photo Creativity Photo Creativity allows you to fine-tune your exposure settings, such as brightness, color, and vividness, and quickly choose the right enhancement for your subject. Now you can view Picture Effects and Photo Creativity effects in real time on the camera’s monitor or in the viewfinder before shooting. Superior Auto mode Get cleaner, more dynamic pictures and fewer missed shots. The DSC-HX10V automatically recognizes the correct scene mode, then quickly shoots and combines up to six shots to produce images with greater clarity, optimum dynamic range using backlight correction HDR technology and lower image noise using 6 shots layering technology. Superior Auto intelligently detects 33 scenes for still images and movies, making it easy to get the best shot.  Face Detection technology  Face Detection technology recognizes faces and optimizes camera settings for both video and still images, so faces are captured more clearly and skin tones look more natural. Smile Shutter technology  Smile Shutter technology captures a smile the moment it happens. Simply press the Smile Shutter button and the camera does the rest. You can also select adult and child priority andindicate the degree of Smile Detection sensitivity. Intelligent Scene Recognition can now be used together with Smile Shutter mode when the Intelligent Auto mode is on. This means that beautiful smiles can be captured with settings optimized for the particular scene, even in difficult conditions such as twilight and backlighting.    GPS and Compass GPS and compass record location data and camera direction as you shoot movies and photos. GPS Log lets users track a photographic journey and later view the path and images on a map. Map View in “PlayMemories Home” software, allows users to view images on a map showing where they were taken. The logged path and images can also be displayed on Google Earth. Anti-blink Function  It’s frustrating to capture the perfect shot, only to review it later and discover subjects blinked during the photo. The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot. Soft Skin mode Portrait subjects will love the results. Soft Skin mode recognizes skin tones and reduces the appearance of blemishes and wrinkles without affecting the rest of the shot. Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode Intelligent Scene Recognition (iSCN) Mode automatically detects 33 different types of scenes and, within just 1/30th of a second, selects the appropriate camera settings. iSCN has two modes: Auto and Advanced. In Auto Mode, the camera takes a single shot using the optimal settings. In Advanced Mode, the camera takes a photo with the optimal settings and, if in difficult lighting (low light or back light) immediately takes a second photo with another optimized setting so you can choose which to keep. Natural Flash Conventional point-and-shoot camera flash shots just don't capture colors the way the eye sees them. Natural Flash mode takes a reference shot without flash and then uses that reference to correct the color, for far more lifelike images. Motion Detection Motion Detection, along with Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and increases the shutter speed when movement is detected, reducing blur in moving subjects and faces. Sweep Multi Angle mode In Sweep Multi Angle mode, the DSC-HX10V takes 15 images at different angles as it sweeps across the scene. By tilting the camera during playback, the camera’s Gyro Sensor detects motion and displays the image in a 3D-like view on the camera’s LCD.  /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-language:JA;}        1.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ SUPER impressed with this camera & I don't impress easily (UPDATE!)
*by R***R on February 24, 2013*

NOTE: Right before my 30 days was up, the on/off button quit working, but I love this model so much I'm getting a replacement. Hopefully, just a fluke with the camera I had. Update: Received my replacement today, I decided to order a different color instead of the white like I had before. Apparently, it depends on which color you choose where the camera is made. The white camera I returned was made in China, the black and red cameras are made in Japan, not sure where the silver cameras are made.*****************************This is my second Sony camera, the first Sony I tried 2 years ago got LOUSY pet shots on the Pet scene setting, but was a good camera otherwise. I returned it since shooting pictures of my cats is the reason I purchased it Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-WX9 16.2 MP Exmor R CMOS Digital Still Camera with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 5x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom Lens and Full HD 1080/60i Video (Black).Let me tell you - this HX10V runs rings around the WX9 (all these model numbers get confusing after awhile!). The camera feels solidly built. Several camera blog/review sites say it's metal, but it feels like plastic to me, although sometimes aluminum feels plastic-like so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. The tripod mount is metal, and the battery/SD card door feels a little flimsy like most do, just be careful with it and you should be OK.This is a KEEPER! On the Pet setting, it takes excellent photos and the default setting keeps the flash and also the focus assist button turned off - these usually will bother your pet's eyes if left on so this is an excellent decision on Sony's part...for instance: I'm a Panasonic camera lover usually and Panasonic's Pet setting leaves the default flash on auto and the red-lamp (focus assist) is also turned on and it's hard to get a photo where my cats' eyes aren't shut. Sony put some thought into the set-up here.And me being a Panasonic lover (in the not too distant past) I was never satisifed with the softness of a Panasonic camera photo. I always had to tweek them in Picasa to sharpen them up a bit, as well as make the colors a little brighter. Not with this Sony. I have done no post-processing other than cropping.PROS:> Photos almost always turn out PERFECT! Just the right amount of color and sharpness!> BEST VIDEO of any point & shoot camera, even expensive $600.00+ cameras I have tried! In fact, if you set the HD to the highest setting on this camera, it gives you a warning that if you are burning to a DVD, you need to make it Blu-Ray it's so good.> Solid build, although mine was made in China. I think some are made in Japan, some China.> LCD screen is amazing, 921,000 dots, the reviews of the pictures looking at it on the camera almost look better than on your PC monitor.> Sony G Lens...an excellent lens used on their more expensive cameras.> Easy user-interface on the menus. I have only had to look at the manual once (looking for the macro setting).> Background Defocus...No need for a full manual camera to achieve the blurred backgrounds; this does a great job but you have to be around 30cm (approx. 12 inches) from subject for it to turn out well.> Battery life is excellent.> For those of you who don't want to fuss with a bunch of different settings, you can set this camera to EASY SHOOTING mode, it gives you all the "basics" to get great photos, but the wording on the LCD screen is in larger print, making it easier to read, and since you don't have many shooting options, very easy to take a photo and still have it turn out exceptional. The EASY SHOOTING mode is PERFECT for anyone new to digital cameras (there may still be a few!)CONS:> I don't like having to charge the battery inside the camera, but that is remedied by buying a separate battery charger.> LCD screen glare is a little iffy outdoors, I may pick up a matte screen protector to help.> 18 MegaPixels! Really, this is a con - with a sensor this size, you don't need over 12 MP in a camera, more is not better in this case; but I will have to say, it doesn't seem to affect quality much on this camera.THE ZOOM: This camera has 16X optical, it will show on the screen when it starts becoming digital (digital is known for being horrible quality)...with either optical or digital, to look good you will need a tripod. The digital goes to 32X but photo quality will be poor with digital. (You can disable the digital zoom in the Tools Menu).GPS: Once you take your camera outdoors or near a door/window, that will trigger the GPS to initialize. Personally I don't care if I have GPS, whenever I upload a photo online, I don't want people to gather even MORE information about me, like my latitude/longitude coordinates. So I disabled this feature in the Tools Menu.RE: SUPERIOR AUTO VS. INTELLIGENT AUTO (on the Mode Dial). You have more settings to choose from on Superior, but I have noticed the camera processes more slowly between shots. On Intelligent Auto I get better results and the camera processes between shots seconds faster, almost instantly.SOFTWARE: There is no CD in the box; the software is stored inside the camera. Once you plug the camera into your PC for the first time, it will download and also get the latest updates off the web. PlayMemories is the name of the software and I like it almost as much as Photoshop Elements.For good quality video and fast camera processing I recommend a Class 10 SDHC card:Sony SF16NX/TQM 16GB SDHC Class 10 Memory CardIf you're looking for a well-made case and don't want to pay the high price for a Sony OEM case:Case Logic TBC-312 Pocket Video Camcorder Case with Storage (Black)Keep checking back, I'm in the process of uploading photos, but it takes awhile for Amazon to approve them.

### ⭐ Did not recieve a new camera as paid for-Got a Dud!
*by N***R on May 1, 2013*

recieved the camera in an opened box- the view screen had had the protective cover removed and the screen had greasy fingerprints all over it. Would have returned it right away if I hadn't been leaving for a trip the next day and needed a camera. Warranty card/info was missing and as it turned out, after taking around 100 pictures with a new memory card that the internal memory wasn't functioning. I got sold a shop model or previously (mis) used camera. When I spoke with the company they were amazingly rude & said it was an Amazon issue. Amazon kindly refunded me the money.. Camera has nice zoom feature & precise resolution, but 7ave or whatever they call themselves are not worth dealing with-will never order from them again

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great compact camera... just don't like pop up flash
*by L***T on February 23, 2013*

I purchased this camera (DSC-HX10V) and the Sony DSC-WX150. I ran various home grown tests on both cameras under various conditions: action, with flash, without flash, zoom, natural light, etc. Both cameras were set to the "automatic smart green setting". The DSC-HX10V (this camera) photos were much more true to color in all photo testing. Consistently the WX150 had a blueish hint to the photos - as in a vivid purple iris looked blue not purple like real life. We have oak bookcases. Comparing photos side by side with both cameras, the bookcases with the WX150 didn't have the golden undertones. We called Sony about the blue issue and they said it must be a defective unit. That may be the case. I can only report on my experience.On the zoom test, I put both cameras to 10X optical and turned digital zoom off (note the HX10V has optical zoom to 16X). I took pictures of the spines of my kids books from across the room. The edges of the letters with the WX150 were "noisy" whereas the HX10V (this camera) at 10x optical were very clear (no, I did not pixel peep). If you don't plan to do a lot of detailed zooming because you can be closer to your subject, this should be no big deal. I take pictures of my kids swimming from the stands - I need a decent zoom without lugging a DSLR or hybrid.Both cameras performed about the same on action shots. I had my kids jump on the bed for several minutes while my husband and I took photos with both cameras at the same time. The HX10V does have a true sports mode which helped to reduce the blur some. I still had to take a bunch to get the lucky action shots on both cameras.Note: all pictures were taken from the same distance, compared side by side, at the same size on the same monitor. In other words this was as scientific as an average camera owner (not photographer) would do. Ultimately we opted for the HX10V for the extra $60-$70.The only thing I liked better about the WX150 is the flash is built in whereas the HX10V's flash is a pop up and it is right where I want to hold the camera with the left hand (very annoying). Though the HX10V flash is brighter and goes a farther distance.To compensate for the pop up flash, we get a nice "rubberized" and 3D hand/finger grip with a thumb grip on the back. This definitely helps balance the camera better. Though I recommend using the wrist strap to be safe - just as we do with the Wii remotes.The HX10V also has the 16X Optical zoom I mentioned, some fun features like toy, pop, etc, ability to adjust hue easily, a few extra smart modes and a little more control over settings like a M and P mode (not that I would use them but they are there). Both have a full HD movie mode and can take 3D photos (though I couldn't test this as I don't have a 3D monitor). I am sure there are other wonderful features but these are the ones I noticed.I hope this helps the average camera buyer. You will see a similar review on the Sony Cybershot DSC-WX150.
