Nice little camera With a good zoom. And will be a lot better once i know what i'm doing. Nice and compact for holidays.

Awesome camera in a compact design with great features

The Cyber-shot HX99 replaces the three-year-old HX90V as Sony's new high-end travel-zoom compact camera. Like the HX90V, it sports the same 30x optical zoom lens with Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T-star branding, 18 megapixel image sensor, high resolution pop-up electronic viewfinder, lens barrel control...

I already have a number of Nikon's FF DSLRs and Sony's RX cameras, but what I needed was a pocketable camera (like my RX100 V) with a much longer zoom range. Alas, Sony produced the HX99.
