The HX10V also carries an 18.2-megapixel sensor, touting itself as the highest-resolution sensor currently offered among point-and-shoot camera options. The HX10V also offers GPS functionality, a fast 0.13-second autofocus time (in the daylight), a 3-inch tilting LCD screen, dual video/still recording mode and expanded (40x) clear image zoom.

At the higher end of the H-series, Sony offers the HX200V, a model with 30x optical zoom (60x in clear image zoom mode) with 18.2-megapixel resolution, GPS functionality and full 1080p HD video (60fps).
