The Bottom Line The feature-rich Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V has a great mix of speed and photo quality. The Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS20's 20x zoom lens might be the main attraction, but the camera is all-around excellent. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100's compact, elegant design, generally excellent photo quality, bright, fast lens, and speedy performance make a great package if you don't mind spending a little more money. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX150 is an excellent little camera that doesn't sacrifice features and performance for size.
