Pros

Sony hx90v takes great pictures and the battery lasts a long time. The internal wifi is really cool. Built in wifi allows you to download your pictures directly to your ipads seamlessly and automatically. Great camera at at a reasonable price for an e... Read More

I am a zealot when it comes to researching anything i purchase. The menus are easy to navigate. The gps feature seems to work very well.

The 30x optical zoom is amazing, but i would advise against using the extended digital zoom, which can degrade or crop the image. Image stabilization is critical at 30x zoom, where your slightest movement gets exaggerated and would otherwise ruin most... Read More

Flip up lcd screen is very handy for selfies. Pop-up viewfinder is tremendously useful in daylight conditions.

It is very thin, and the thicker part at the right of the body is great to help hang onto the camera. Super portable because of its small size makes it an utter joy to take anywhere without being an extra pain to lug around. One thing to consider if y... Read More

Cons

Indoor shots are usually too dark and often blurry due to failure of the flash to sync with the shutter and camera shake. This new model is slower to focus, has a slower lens, and is not as sharp throughout it's zoom range. The feel of the plastic shu... Read More

The entire camera exterior except for the front face plate is made of plastic. This issue is similar to the comparisons made between the metal iphone and plastic samsung galaxy cases. Sony expects me to find an appropriate-size, small box, find bubble... Read More

Its mandatory demand to connect to a smartphone on shutdown often causes a struggle to get the fool device to turn off. This is an unreliable camera and i would not recommend it to anyone. Customer relationship supervisor is supposed to call me one da... Read More

Even the "big guys" make a lemon once in a while. Major fail, sony.

Highlights

Quality

I have now put this camera through a couple of weeks of use and, i must admit, am quite impressed with its feature set and image quality.

Superb quality images, remarkable video with a variety of file sizes.

Its truly hard to believe so much quality technology can exist in something so small.

Is bulky and the colors are not bright.

Price

Great camera at at a reasonable price for an experienced amateur photographer like me.

Great camera for the value which is what i expect from sony.

For the money the 90 has more value

At the time, it was just over $400, and i used it almost exclusively for people in indoor settings with flash.

Shipping

The main reason i bought this camera (2 days before the trip!

I took it to china without pre using it and did well with it mainly set on auto.

Packaging/appearance

I needed a lightweight cameta that packed a lot of features.

Got this used through amazon warehouse and came in perfect condition, like new.

Open box was missing a/c charger, but onecall sent a replacement in two days-also impressive.

Competitiveness

It has very good battery life and a much more compact body than many of the competitors.

In addition to the hx90v covered here, i have a sony a7m2, an a6000, and an hx400v.

I tried all the available brands and settled on the sony.

The zeiss lenses and 30x optical zoom are killer.
