Earlier this week, Sony announced the Cyber-shot HX90V. While a compact camera these days isn’t nearly as sexy as a new smartphone, what makes the HX90V impressive is its zoom. Featuring a compact design, the new Cyber-shot offers a mind-bending 30x optical zoom and 60x digital zoom, something no smartphone can match. Alongside that zoom is an 18.2-megapixel Exmor R CMOS sensor that’s ready to take whatever you throw at it. After the jump, we have the full HX90V specs for your reading pleasure that breaks down the soon-to-be-released compact camera.
