Have previously been a Sony DSC-HX20V bought, where I unfortunately in the mountains of the Navajo Antelope (in Page in Grand Canyon) some sand-dust has entered "when shooting upwards". Amazon has taken me about this Sony camera after about 1.5 years of use without objection phase back and refund me the full purchase price of that time. Now I need a new camera again for the great holiday and have now bought the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX50V through Amazon. Have a few weeks ago made the first test shots, including the zoo. I am again very pleased with the quality ones of the shots and the operation! You can feel that the exposure at objects that are located in the dark and you get close, have been well received. Toll Sony, keep it up! G. Lehmann
