The GPS-enabled DSC-HX9 features Sony's newly-developed back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor, and is capable of recording full 1080p60 HD videos. For still photography the HX9 offers 10fps continuous shooting. The HX9 boasts a 16x (24-384mm equiv.) optical zoom lens and a 921k dot display, and it can generate both high resolution panoramics and also 3D images.
The Sony HX9V is a very capable camera when it comes to image quality and video, shots are generally sharp from edge to edge, colors are vivid and well-exposed and the video quality is amongst the best of any compact camera we've ever seen. However, much like its predecessor the HX5, its image performance is overshadowed by sluggish operational speed. Slow start-up and playback make the HX9V irritating at times when you are either unprepared for an unexpected photo opportunity or want to review your images while shooting restless subjects such as children or pets.

IMAGE QUALITY
The Canon PowerShot SX220 HS produces images of very good quality. It recorded noise-free images at ISO 100, 200 and 400, with some noise and slight colour desaturation at ISO 800. ISO 1600 shows more obvious noise and loss of colour but still remains perfectly usable, and even the fastest setting of ISO 3200 doesn't suffer too badly.

Still Image Quality
Since the Nikon Coolpix S9100 receives the same 12.1-megapixel 1/2.3-inch back-illuminated CMOS sensor from last year's Coolpix S8100, we did not notice any changes when it came to image quality.
Low light shooting with the Nikon Coolpix S9100 was just as tasty as it was with the S8100. Noise management was surprisingly spot on, and the S9100 gave the Canon PowerShot SD4500 IS a run for its money. Both cameras will perform well in low light, and the S9100 had plenty of tools to get the job done.
In bright light, the Nikon Coolpix S9100 also impressed us with a vivid color palette and stellar macro shots. Of course, we encountered entry-level image aberrations, like out of focus smearing, purple fringing, and blue noise at ISO 3200. However, the Nikon Coolpix S9100 proved itself as a camera that could be deployed and used to capture impressive still images on the fly.
You have a lot of options for recording high-definition video with the S9100—1080 at 30 frames per second and 720 at 30 and 60 fps. (60 frames per second is very rare, on anything other than a dedicated camcorder.) You even have the option to create low-resolution (320 by 240) slow motion video, capturing 240 frames per second. Videos are captured as .MOV files which can be uploaded into YouTube and Facebook readily.
The S9100 allows you to use its giant zoom while recording video, but when zooming in and out you'll capture subtle noise from the lens motor. It can also autofocus while it's recording, and in my tests, I didn't hear any noise while it did so. There's a built-in stereo microphone, so captured audio sounds great too. You can play videos back on your HDTV by connecting a cable to the S9100's built-in mini-HDMI port. Files can be transferred to your computer via the camera's proprietary USB port. The camera writes to SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards.
