My travels with the new Sony HX5V Cybershot

I had a chance to try the new Sony DSC HX5V Cybershot on my recent trip. I did a short video about it in case other people were interested in a new point and shoot this spring. I thought it was a great little camera and even made a few 24 inch prints from the files.

It has a couple low light options. I like the hand held twilight mode myself, great quality images for cityscapes at night.

I've bought two myself.

I just bought one for my daughter. What else can I say.

Most of the video was shot with a regular Sony video camera and a blu-tooth mic. The video at the very end was done on the HX5V. I do have a title that pops up at the end to indicate this.

Essentially yes. It's stereo and sensitive enough, but even with a slight breeze or near AC you get unbearable noise. It's also easy to put your finger over the mics when recording since it's so small. You really have to make your own windscreen or dead kitten and cover the mics to use it outside.

The camera does NOT have dual card slots! It has one slot that will accept either a memory stick or an SD card.
