I think the camera is a bit on the expensive side, but that may be because of the lens and the tiltable screen.

After falling into the sand with my previous Sony compact hx20v and excellent service, I chose a new Sony, because the operation is about the same. Not the hx series this time (hx90) but the lower rank wx500, this one has no GPS, the hx 90 you can choose, with is the 90v, had this on my previous one, but didn't use this (battery drains faster) also no viewfinder for bright sun. Good photos, easy with the selection button, car modes, scene choice (snow, portrait.., also nice black and white, with only red, blue, yellow.. also manual preferences can be saved.. And super easy is the wifi and nfc, if your phone supports this, very easy to transfer photos. If I have to mention a disadvantage, it is that it is perhaps too compact, which makes it not so good in the hand and the buttons are close together .. I don't have fat fingers, but I fear the worst in the other case . And it's not the cheapest, miss this drops after a few months after release..
