Comments

This camera has more than most photographers out in the wild would need for packing a light camera. The features are endless and for me, I use the basics but point and shoot or custom the camera takes 1080 photos and video as well.
Cnet has great info here. https://www.cnet.com/products/sony-cyber-shot-hx9v/review/ There is a new version of this camera, used models sell for $170. A Bargain!
