does this camera have the Trimming feature that the DSC HX 200 did? When reviewing your photos, can you zoom in, trim and save to the camera?

You can enlarge In the camera but in order to trim you need to use PlayMemories Home.

I never used DSC HX 200, but there is an application in the camera called Photo Retouch which allows minor photo editing like re-sizing the image, cropping, rotation,... etc

I have a Canon Powershot (SX110) that do not have the feature of Movie Editing (that is, cutting beginning or end of a clip). Upon contacting Canon, they told me that their engineers decide which camera gets which features. They did not tell me any reason. Actually, in many recent PS cameras the stitch assist is missing. I was also disappointed. But still, if you have software, you could do the same thing yourself. True, not that easy, but still capable. Other cameras lack color swap features, etc.Very weird that Canon does not feature everything on the newer cameras. And does not even make it clear to consumers before buying.

I do love this camera, and have not had any problems, but it is still under the first year warranty. It takes beautiful photos, and, as I am an artist, it is invaluable for my work. I appreciate the info on how to fix the error, so if it should occur with the SX10, I hope I can fix it. I don't know of any other digital with the zoom power of this one, so if that is what you require, do more research, try Consumer Reports, and then decide - it would be a shame to miss out on the very good things this camera can do, and the problem is not listed in the site you sent, for the SX10.

I have not actually not used this camera for a long time. I couldn't really tell you. I still have it & liked it just have not had reason to use it for some time now. I would actually need to play with it a bit now just to get used to it again myself. Sorry can't really help.

Brad - I don't think you can go wrong with either camera. Add to for your consideration the Sony HX5 - it's on a par with these two. I looked long and hard at all 3 of these, researching specs and comments, as well as trying them out in camera stores, etc. I finally chose the S8100, although only coming out in September the amount of reviews is sparse - but even compared to the S8000 earlier model the improved S8100 proves to be a great camera. One thing I really like is the heft and feel of the camera, as well as the professional and high quality look and detail of the camera. It's a joy to take photos with this camera. The photos from it are stunning.

I bought that for a friend last year in another state, however, I never got any feedback in regards to that camera. I did buy a different camera for another friend - Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS25 16.1 MP Tough Digital Camera with 8x Intelligent Zoom. She told me that she loved it (and it did take great pics and videos). However, the only thing that was missing was a charger for the battery. I guess that had to be purchased separately.

I recently bought the SX10IS and it's a nice camera, zoom is kind of noisy for the price, so I am sending it back and waiting on the SX1IS to come in. I want the faster burst rate, the HD movie quality and the remote control features.

Not easy Liz! It irritates me that virtually all the "fit-in-your-pocket" manufacturers have eliminated the optical viewfinder. Knowing this in advance the sx280 has the best features/results of this type of camera in it's price range. See www.cnet.com for a good review of this camera.

It does have zoom, but that's where I ran into problems. Mine suddenly doesn't focus in zoom. Don't buy it, get a panasonic hx- wa03. I have one of these also. Awesome camera, awesome zoom. But I ran it over with the truck and it's getting repaired.

Look up "canon chdk". It's a firmware that you load from your sd card. I'm getting optical zoom in my SD800IS, along with many other features, like shooting in raw, and control over shutter speed. For those cameras with aperture control (mine just has a NS filter), you can even adjust that.Still, I really like the looks of the SX1 coming out. I'm going to start saving for Christmas now.

I also consider this an important feature. I was decided to buy this camera, but when I was in the store checking whether I could zoom while in the motion picture mode and I discovered I could not do so, I gave up... It's a pitty because apart of that, the camera is nearly perfect for me...Ken Techbuyer, maybe you should have start recording instead of only selecting the motion picture mode? This camera has no zoom while recording movies.

Hi Patty, no, this camera has a zoom lens connected to the camera body. This is not an interchangeable lens camera. Thanks_Mitch

Well, it only has digital zoom, and no real optical zooming (the lens does not move). I never use digital zoom, as it makes an already grainy image (from this camera anyway) even less sharp. If I wanted to "zoom" I would do it in post-processing in your computer's video editor, as you can crop at will.

1. Although I haven't experienced it, the "excessively red" phenomena has been discussed a lot in "Sony Talk" forum at DPREVIEW website: Search for the term "oversaturation," at either dpreview or Google it (both lead to the same discussion thread: currently 50 entries). 2. The "Manual" that you referenced is merely a starter version, with little useful info (only 20 pages in English); instead, the "User Guide" is really extensive, and comes on CD with all HX100's inside the BOX. You can also access the online version of the CD (and save it to your computer), via Google search: "Sony HX100v user guide" (select the .pdf version, as most easily readable). It's 274 pages, but convenient to save to desktop and access as you need it: Read it in small chunks, practicing with the camera, and reading some more...I've read the .pdf version twice, and still refer to it. My best advice is to read the vast number of discussions at dpreview, in the "Sony Talk" forum, to LEARN from the largest collection of online owners of the HX100v: I read it daily for info on use of features, and to see photo examples of what others can do with this camera. The really avid new owner will go to the trouble of searching waaay back in Sony Talk, to discussion pages in June or early July, when the camera was still new...and vast numbers of discussions focussed on specific camera features. Think of it this way: Most everything that an HX100v newby faces has already been discussed at length at dpreview!

Yes and no... The camera does have this capability, but the quality of focus while zooming in and out (during recording) does not appear to be all that consistent/reliable. I just did a little test before replying to this question; there were places within the zoom range where the camera simply could not/would not focus.

I have a different model, but it worked great for me. DSC-HX5, I've had it for several years.

There is a cropping feature when viewing an image. After pressing the menu button, there is a "Trimming..." function as one of the menu options. Zoom depends on the context. When composing an image prior to capture, you can zoom in/out of the scene. When viewing an image that has been captured, you can use the camera zoom to enlarge the image displayed on the LCD screen.
