Conclusion
|
Sony has pulled out all the stops to really take on the big names in this field. The HX5V is powerful, full of features and fun to use. However, that can't make up for the mediocre screen, which is something we just can't understand on a camera with such lofty ambitions. |
The Canon Ixus 220 HS is a nice surprise. It takes good-quality pictures, it's very well made and it's user-friendly. You'd be hard pushed to find anything better in the same price range. |
