About the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5 Compact Digital Camera

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX5 is a pocketable travel-zoom compact built around a 10.2-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor, which Sony designed for better low-light results than a conventional sensor of the same size. Its 10x optical zoom covers wide-angle to telephoto, so it handles landscapes, group shots and distant subjects without changing lenses. Video is recorded in Full HD 1080i, and Sony's Sweep Panorama mode builds wide panoramic images by panning the camera. A 3-inch LCD is used for framing and playback. It is a straightforward, capable all-in-one for holidays and everyday shooting.
