Hi friends, Today I checked the price of Sony HX9V at Sony Showroom in Ludhiana and it costs 17990/- same as online. Then I saw Sony HX100V costs 22990/-. So I compared both the cams. HX100V brings superior quality at even 30X zoom. Easily could read the newspaper of the person sitting on the other side of the road...But its very bulky. And apart from zoom I didn't find any other better feature. But thought its better to have idea from you guys. I could extend my budget to 20k even.
And the most important thing : Please give some online site link from where I could purchase them at lower price. I know the price I found are higher.
Thanks,

I think HX100V is a Superb Cam and if u want that long zoom flip screen and 1cm macro then get it :)

but if u want to have something pocketable and nice cam get hx9v

Guys, HX9V and HX100V should be looked most thru what requirements you have - the ease of use and pocket size is best part for HX9V. It depends on your needs and ease of carrying around you want. <There is a reason people prefer to keep d-slr and a compact one handy with them if need be. :) >

Hi Friends.. I received my cam today.. SONY HX9V.
Got a case, HDMI cable : one end can be conected to cam and other to TV., battery, 4GB card : ~ 650 images can be stored, USB cable,a CD,

I clicked some snaps at low light as its already been 8pm.
I clicked a snap turning light off in room and flash on . quality of that image came out superbbb!! really..
others snaps were good but I wont say superb.. a snap clicked at 16X zoom was not fully clear.
Also clicked moon but thats not clicked that big as you guys display in photography thread.
couldnt capture any micro shots. image not that much clear..
Also max res of image is 16M (4:3). Can we capture it at 16M(16:9) ? 'coz image is not displayed on full screen of my full HD TV. have to chage it to 12M(16:9). But there is some loss of color(though it shouldn't).
And in last I want to learn more about photography: what ISO to set for macro, landscape etc, shutter speed.. you getting ?
Any suggestions friends ??

@ atul

Bro it seems u dont know the common principals of digicam itself...

1. DOnt compare pics of DSLR with digicam :)
2. most people crop picture as per need...
3. increasing the zoom make camera more unstable and more chances of blurry image...even in case of DSLR..soo at 16x zoom if its not clear its OK
4. Moon will look bigger...just use a good photoediting software and crop it :D
5. Macro image u can definitely capture...just have patience..practice

ISO for macro- minimum possible
landcape - depend on light conditions
shutter speed - dont go below 1/60 it will not be manageable handheld
