Sony Cyber- shot HX2. VThe Sony HX2. 0V takes over from the HX9. V that we reviewed last year as the flagship travel compact within Sony's Cyber- shot compact digital camera range.

There is, of course, the HX2. V with its 3. 0x zoom, however given the dimensions of that model it’s much more of a superzoom/bridge camera than a travel compact. The HX2. 0V, by contrast, packs a 2. Travel compacts are particularly popular at the moment with all of the main manufacturers looking to grab their share of what is a highly lucrative market.
The music of Florida has had many influences and the state has influenced many genres and produced many musicians. For example, the blues artist Bo Diddley lived in.
The good news here is that the increased competition should make for better cameras, at least in theory. In recent weeks we’ve reviewed the Lumix TZ3. Canon SX2. 60 HS, both of which impressed and scored well. Does the Sony HX2. V have what it takes to beat either model? Let’s take a closer look at find out.

At its heart the HX2. V employs a 1/2. 3inch backlit Exmor R CMOS sensor that produces 1. MP of effective resolution. This might only be a relatively small jump from the 1. MP resolution of last year’s HX9. V model, but it does suggest that Sony isn’t quite ready to give up on the megapixel arms race yet. The new sensor is complemented by the latest generation of Sony BIONZ image processer that allows the HX2.
V to shoot at a maximum 1. Full HD video. Sensitivity, meanwhile, ranges from ISO 1. Other notable highlights, in addition to the 2. Clear Zoom function that allows up to 4. Sony’s own Steady. Shot image stabilisation technology for blur- free images at slower shutter speeds and extended focal lengths; built- in GPS with bundled software that allows you to track your journey via Google maps; a generous range of shooting and exposure modes; a selection of Picture Effect digital effects filters; and last but not least a high- resolution one- touch Panoramic mode.
Sadly though the HX2. V is JPEG only, which means it can’t shoot lossless Raw images for enhanced editing potential in a digital darkroom. This does strike us as something of an omission given that the HX2. V (or indeed any other travel compact) is likely to be used in all kinds of exotic and interesting locations where a bit of post- production might make all the difference.
Needless to say we look forward to the day when more manufacturers include Raw shooting on their travel compact models as standard. While there’s no Raw, there are two JPEG compression settings to choose from: Normal (more images) or Fine (better quality).
If you don’t think you need the full 1. MP then resolution can be pegged back to a choice of 1. MP, 5. MP or VGA quality. And while the sensor records 4: 3 images by default, it’s also possible to shoot 1. MP or 2. MP. If you want to produce images in either a 3: 2 or 1: 1 aspect then you’ll need to crop them down on a computer. Of course, the big draw with the HX2. V as with all travel compacts is the convenience of having a huge focal range to hand in a camera only a little bigger than a regular compact.
In this respect the HX2. V gets a 2. 0x optical zoom that provides the 3. Extending its 2. 0x reach a bit further is Sony’s proprietary Clear Zoom technology. This basically doubles the reach of the optical zoom (up to a maximum of 4. MP resolution intact. Trying it out, we were actually quite impressed with the results – not the sharpest by any means but certainly usable for Facebook- bound snapshots and the like.
If 4. 0x still isn’t quite enough then it’s also possible to use the Digital Zoom to reach a maximum 8. MP, 1. 51x at 5. MP or 3. VGA quality setting. Good luck getting anything even remotely useable at these settings though!
The HX2. 0V offers a good range of exposure modes, although nothing particularly new that we haven't seen on an advanced Sony compact before. There are Program and Manual options, and while the degree of user control on both is fairly generous, it's worth bearing in mind that the Manual mode only offers a choice of maximum aperture (f/3. In other words, it's not really all that flexible. Intelligent Auto is basically an automatic scene selection mode, and is capable of delivering consistently good results. Superior Auto mode, meanwhile, takes things one step further by automatically firing off several shots at once when required (which isn’t all the time) and then blending the results together.
In this respect it's not unlike having an automatic HDR mode at your disposal, although thankfully a relatively subtle one that aims for realism rather than drama. This makes it particularly useful for tricky lighting situations, such as strongly backlit subjects. Rounding things off are a range of 1. Scene modes, three fully customisable Memory Recall modes and a 3. D capture mode (for which you'll need a compatible 3.
D monitor to view the results on). There's also a quirky Background Defocus mode that's quite well suited to portraits as it takes multiple images and combines them with some clever processing to throw the background out of focus.
It doesn’t always work, but when it does the results aren’t too bad. Last but not least is the Sweep Panorama mode – a really neat feature that Sony has been refining for the past few years.
This basically allows you to create 1. While Fujifilm and Panasonic also offer very credible takes on panormaic technology, Sony still just about has the edge, thanks primarily to the ability to shoot high- resolution panoramas.
As is increasingly de rigueur these days, the HX2. V comes with a set of nine different Picture Effect digital filters: HDR Painting, Rich B& W, Miniature, Toy Camera, Pop Colour, Partial Colour, Soft High- key, Watercolour and Illustration. It has to be said that some work better than others, but they are quite fun.
Movie abilities have been a strong point of Sony compacts in recent years and the HX2. V continues this tradition with a generous - albeit slightly perplexing - range of video recording options.
You can choose to record movies in either the HDTV- friendly AVCHD format or the more computer/web- friendly MP4 files. Selecting AVCHD opens up a further range of options, including a top 'PS' setting of 1.
Mbps Full HD, which is supported by 'FX' (1. Mbps), 'FH' (1. 08. Mbps) and 'HQ' (1. Mbps) options. MP4 recording options, on the other hand, include 1.
Full HD, 7. 20/2. HD and VGA standard definition. In all instances, sound is recorded in stereo via two microphones on the top of the camera, and while there’s a wind- cut filter there's no external microphone input. We like how it's possible to record still images while the HX2.
V is shooting video, even though it's only possible to shoot in 1. Sony's Steady. Shot 'Active' image stabilisation technology is pretty handy too, especially if you don't have a particularly steady hand or if you are moving while recording. While it's undoubtedly good that Sony has seen fit to include such a broad range of recording options, we do wonder how many users will fully appreciate the differences between the various AVCHD settings, or indeed realise that movies shot at the highest 'PS' setting cannot be transferred to DVD. To this end we'd really like to see some clearer in- camera guidance to help users to better understand the choices they are faced with. We should point out that this is not a particular criticism of Sony, but rather all manufacturers who equip their cameras with a multitude of similar- sounding and potentially confusing AVCHD options.
