Sony DSC-HX9V announcement clippings

Smaller and lighter still, the HX9V offers a high-performance G Lens with powerful 16x zoom range with 24mm wide angle to accommodate virtually any photo opportunity.

Despite its powerful zoom range, the HX100V and HX9V can capture crisp, blur-free images with significantly reduced handshake, even while you're walking along. The camera's Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode is a powerful image stabilisation system with ‘3-way shake cancellation' as found on premium Handycam® camcorders by Sony. You'll be rewarded with clearer results when you're shooting handheld, even at telephoto settings where camera shake is most pronounced.

The HX9V offers a choice of 3D shooting options with 3D Sweep Panorama, 3D Still Image and Sweep Multi Angle. In another Cyber-shot first, the 16.2 effective megapixel Exmor R CMOS Sensor inside the camera supports a brand-new Intelligent Sweep Panorama HR (High Resolution) mode. Just press the shutter button and sweep the camera: Cyber-shot captures huge panoramic images with an incredible 10480x4096 resolution.
