Our quick take

Sony Cyber-shot HX200V - 4.5 / 5

What’s the angle?

At the controls

Pro performer?

New sensor: triumph or too trying?

But there’s more

To recap

The HX200V takes Sony’s existing superzoom formula and further improves the recipe. A great design and manual zoom ring, bags of features and decent performance across the board tick all the right boxes. It’s only the so-so image quality and high price that may disappoint. While the HX200V may be up against some other tip-top 30x zoom cameras it more than holds its weight.
