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...
