I'd rate this a 5 if it had faster shutter speed, but for a compact point-and-shoot, something is going to be sacrificed. I like the size of it, the features and Zeiss lens, and the overall ease of use. I would not say that it's ready to go right out of the box; there are some settings that the photographer will find helpful that aren't explained well in the small booklets that come with it. For that reason, I bought and recommend the book "Photographer's Guide to the Sony DSC HX80 and HX90" by Alexander White. I've just started the book and I've taken only a few pictures, but I'm pleased with them. I know when I have learned more, I will be doing more with it besides quick shooting in the Intelligent mode. The electronic viewfinder is a must for me because glare can reduce visibility on screens, and that can compromise your ability to get a good picture. I also like that it has a pop-up flash and a flip-up screen for easy selfies. I don't think I would have bought it new because of the price, but I got an excellent used one that, so far, has not disappointed at all.Read full review

i needed the camera for sports , so the 10 fps shooting feature was important , but after 10 fotos or one second the buffer was full and it stopped taking pictures and the processing time was about 2 to 3 seconds which for sports is a long time, so it's a good camera if you don't mind the buffer getting full if you take a series of photos fast.

The camera is easy to use and and has many advanced features. It takes great pictures and has both a lcd screen and a viewfinder which is very good for shooting in bright sunlight. I now own 3 of this camera.

I'm still learning how to operate this camera, as it has a lot of options, which is why I gave it 4 stars and not 5. It's a bit over my head, but that's ok, as I can grow into it. I got the basics down now, and it takes great pics and videos, so far. I love the 30x optical zoom lens!! Solid camera, yet pocket sized; convenient for traveling. Very pleased. Thank you!

For a newbie, the learning curve is fairly steep: this camera has a lot of features and the "instruction" manual merely identifies the buttons' functions. Overall, it seems to be a well-designed camera. I love the small size and 30X zoom.
