Rank 5 out of 5Avguide.chTest von fünf Fotokameras für Reise und FerienReleaseJuly 2016

Die Fotos aus der HX90V können auf den ersten Blick voll überzeugen. Sie sind scharf, kontrastreich und sehr farbenfroh, wirken manchmal fast schon etwas künstlich. Wenn man sie bei genauer betrachtet, sieht man eine starke elektronische "Behandlung". Sie wirken dann wie auf Leinwand oder Raufasertapete gemalt...

Rank 8 out of 14Stiftung WarentestKameras: Zoomen oder laufen?ReleaseSeptember 2015

Kleine, flache und ausgesprochen leichte Kompaktkamera mit Superzoom, elektronischem Sucher, manuellen Funktionen. Mit Netzwerkfunktion und GPS. Stärken: grundlegende Handgriffe funktionieren einfach, viele Extras und Funktionen. Schwäche: mangelhaft bei wenig Licht.
