Replaced a Nikon compact camera and much neater. Quality seems good and once you get the hang of the controls works well. I do like the retractable vow finder. Timer a bit of a fiddle though. The photo quality is very good and clear. So far very pleased with it.

Awesome camera in a compact design with great features

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.

Since 2000, I have owned thirty digital cameras (many/most bought from B&H), nine of them being Sony including the HX9, HX50 and HX90. If I have learned anything it is that there are inherent limitations to small-sensor, long-lens cameras when it comes to picture quality, so you need to decide if...

I bought this camera a few weeks ago. Having owned Sony cameras for a number of years was sure it would be a good choice. I wanted a camera with bridge like capabilities but small enough to put in a jacket pocket. Having tried the camera initial results are excellent.

I purchased this three weeks ago for a trip to Peru, also carried my Sony A6000 along. The 4K videos were crisp and selfie mode is perfect if you're into that sorta thing. Viewfinder was fine once we figure it out but touchscreen was not great for shooting.

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.
