	impressive camera Steves-DigiCams.com Rating Unavailable Rating Unavailable	The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX90V is a solid entry in the world of compact superzooms. PCMag.com	I've included several samples in the slideshow below so you can see that, while subjects can look good at smaller sizes, once you start to blow things up you lose a lot of detail. CNet.com	If you're on a tight budget and are prepared to sacrifice a built-in electronic viewfinder, the COOLPIX S9900 represents great value for money - especially considering it sports a fully-articulated screen and built-in GPS. CameraLabs.com Rating Unavailable	The Panasonic FZ1000 is an extremely interesting camera, and one built with a very clear rival in mind. Imaging-Resource.com Rating Unavailable
