Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX100V gets reviewed, deemed one of the best super-zooms around

Sony’s Cyber-shot DSC-HX100V been available for a little while now, but it’s flown somewhat under the radar when it comes to in-depth reviews. Photography Blog’s now chimed in with its take on the camera, however, which is not only thorough but effusive in its praise. According to the site, the HX100V is simply one of the best super-zoom cameras they’ve tested (30X, in this case), with it delivering some excellent still images and best-in-class 1080p video, along with some welcome added touches including an intuitive focus / zoom ring and built-in GPS (although the latter will lead to a 25 percent hit in battery life if you leave it on all the time). Some of the few drawbacks are a lack of a RAW shooting mode, and an LCD that folds out but doesn’t rotate, but the site says those are pretty easy to forgive considering everything else you get for the $400 or so asking price.
