Yes it is true! The images are beautiful. The large opening allows for pictures in low light quality. However, pan harder with my HX20V and the camera often asked to repeat the taking .. but above all, the zoom is too short. 3.6 instead of 20 for the HX20 and HX50 30 for ... And no GPS or WiFi. In short, it's not for me the versatile Swiss pocket knife that I liked in the HX20V. This device is only a pocket complement my Nikon high-end hardware.
Finally, I returned to Amazon. By the way, welcome the ease with which it can return an item that does not suit us and be refunded. Amazon thank you.
Finally, I ordered a HX50V ... that I canceled because the HX60V will be out in 15 days!. It is him that I will take when it is available.
