Images taken with the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9V super zoom compact digital camera

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9V sample photos - here are some sample photos taken with the very nice 16MP Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9V. As you probably know this camera was awarded the best camera in this class for 2011 and it is still one of the most popular super zoom compact digital cameras.
These pictures are taken on daylight and some on direct sunlight. The 16x zoom is a very nice feature but I used only from 2x up to 5x for some images. All photos are taken with the intelligent auto mode (only the first one with the green grass was taken with a unfocused background scene mode).
As you see the photos made with the Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-HX9V are nice and clear, with vivid colors and are among the best in this price segment. Some say they are very close to entry level DSLRs but of course this is a complete different class.
