'The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX100V is overflowing with shooting features.'
'The Sony CyberShot DSC-HX100V is one of the best super-zoom camera that we've ever reviewed, offering a compelling mix of advanced features, excellent still image quality, fantastic lens and a class-leading video mode, all at a price that is competitive with its main rivals. '
'Overall, a good, well-rounded camera, if not a little unremarkable in places due to lack of new innovation. '
'It's a digital SLR that's aimed at people who don't have a big budget and who are perhaps new to digital photography but don't want a camera with a smaller Micro Four Thirds–based system.'
'overall the camera is reassuringly solid with rechargeable NP-FH50 lithium ion battery inserted and the 18-55mm kit lens we were supplied for our test attached.'
'The a290 is certainly an easy camera to learn with, particularly if you don't have much experience with the layout of other manufacturers' camera controls. '
'The Sony Alpha A290 has a body similar to that of the Alpha A230, but with a more traditional grip which should prove more comfortable.'
'It also incorporates a normal grip, rather than the uncomfortable three-quarter-height grip that graced the A230. '
'The Sony A290 uses an APS-C 14.2 megapixel sensor and BIONZ image processor to capture large, high resolution images.'
