Price: $250
Unlike the other recently announced compact megazoom from Sony, the DSC-HX5V, the 14.1-megapixel H55 doesn’t sport whiz-bang features like the integrated GPS receiver and compass or 1080i AVCHD movie mode. And it doesn’t use the superior backside-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor of the HX5V (and the TX7 and TX5 for that matter). It does however, include a nice wide-angle (25-250mm equivalent) 10x optical zoom and a 3-inch, 230,400-dot LCD, in a relatively trim body. It also uses Sony’s Optical SteadyShot image stabilization even when shooting 720p HD movies. And happily, both the TX5 and the H55 include dual-format memory card slots compatible with both MemoryStick and SD/SDHC cards. The H55 will be available in black and silver, and will ship in April for $250.
