Review on 📸 Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX7V Digital Camera | 16.2 MP Exmor R CMOS Sensor | 10x Wide-Angle Optical Zoom G Lens | 3D Sweep Panorama | Full HD 1080/60i Video (Black) by Sandy Johnson

Only a few days but some first thoughts: The photos are great. 10x Zoon is awesome. Burst photography is good for capturing the right moment of a smile. That is, tell someone to smile and by using the burst feature you increase your chances of catching the smile at its peak. There are many programming options, but one I don't see is setting the time the photo stays on the display. If you turn it over to show someone the picture, it always disappears. The very high HD resolution is both a blessing and a curse. These are the highest resolutions ever available to consumers, but chances are your laptop/PC won't be able to play these videos, let alone edit them. Only the latest powerful processors can play these videos and the accompanying audio. Otherwise, playback is a black screen or, at best, choppy and full of dropouts. So you may have to decide whether to record at a higher resolution in the future (when we all have more powerful processors) or at a lower resolution to use now. I bought used from Revain Warehouse Deals. I saved a significant amount of money and am pretty sure the camera has never been used (see strap comment below). I was concerned when the camera wasn't shipped after about five days. When I contacted the Revain warehouse to ask why it wasn't shipping, they said it was due to using free Super Saver shipping (although I doubt they would have made it within the estimated delivery window). They suggested I upgrade to overnight delivery and the camera arrived the next day. Good support answer. A small but disappointing design element is the hand strap hole. It's too little! I was only able to thread it through after many attempts, pushing it through with a bent paper clip and pulling it all the way through with a needle.
