2011高端卡片机PK：Ultra Versatile Pocket MegaZoom DC Review

 

昨天停车想顺手拍个河景，不料在雪地上一跤滑倒，手里的Canon S95掉进了河道。口袋里的卡片机不可少，今天做了些homework准备买个其它牌子，发现好机子挺多的，不知该选哪个？

对卡片机的要求：高速，低光，1080HD，皮实经摔。

Ultra Versatile Pocket Mega Zoom Compared:
(dpreview Compact Camera Group Test: Travel Zooms)

Sony HX9V
Panasonic ZS10
Olympus SZ-30MR
Nikon S9100
Fuji F550EXR
Casio EX-ZR100
Canon SX230


"The Canon Powershot SX230 HS and Nikon Coolpix S9100 are run very close (and in some respects surpassed) though by the Sony Cyber-shot HX9V ... the only black marks against the HX9 are relatively slow operational speed and slightly smeary noise-reduction at medium and high ISO settings.

Our biggest concern is the rather slow operation, which is frustrating in a camera which is otherwise such a fine performer."

That's Sony! It is a joke that a camera what can process 16MP @10 fps and 1080 @ 60fps needs nearly 2 seconds to switch from shooting to viewing.

If you would have put the 12MP BSI sensor you sold to the 2 winners in the HX9V (a logical step from the 10MP sensor of the HX5) and fixed the lag what was already a bother with the HX1 and HX5 you would have blown the competition away and would have been the clear winner in 2011.

I hope you will be so clever and do what Canon did with the SX220/SX230, G11/G12 and Panasonic did with the Lumix DMC-FZ47 (Lumix DMC-FZ48) - reduce the mega pixel and create a winner in the HX9V successor.

PCWorld Top 10 Pocket Megazooms


"These powerful compact cameras offer more optical-zoom range than the average point-and-shoot. It's a dead heat between the Canon PowerShot SX230 HS, Nikon Coolpix S9100, and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX9V at the top of our chart. If you crave simplicity, go for the Nikon; if you need manual controls, opt for the Canon. If you want superb video and fun modes, the Sony should be your pick."

Samsung WB750: 16MP, 18x, 1080, GPS, RAW - this was released for the WB700 but then changed

 

Pentax Optio RZ-18 drawing courtesy of photorumors.com The Pentax Optio RZ-18 with 3″ swivel LCD, 14MP sensor, 18X optical zoom (28-504mm) was rumored to show up at the CP+ but nothing to see so far, it seems that the new date will be around June 2011. The just announced Pentax Optio RZ18 camera doesn’t look even close to the previously leaked/rumored images which means that there will be another point and shoot camera with a swivel display coming soon.

So the highlights for 2011 in travel zooms are:
14-18x zoom
full HD in stereo
high speed DSLR shooting like the fastest
high res display min 460k with anti-reflection coating
GPS
panorama mode
HDR
multi shot modes
pop up flash
help menu
HDMI
 

Sony HX9V looks like the best fit:
 

In-camera GPS
3" 920k screen
16x optical zoom
Excellent video quality
3D shooting
42mp panorama 
Active mode stabilisation
1080p 60fps in stereo
HDR recording of images
Groundbreaking scene modes
Support multi stacking for things like hand held twilight


I'm wondering why Olympus didn't throw in GPS on it's flagship SZ-30MR model as well. They have the highest spec offering (and most expensive) so they might as well add that in for the few extra dollars it would add. It looks like that camera will be in the $450 range so they might as well add every bell and whistle they can think of to justify the cost point.
