I looked at the Sony sight and was looking at theSony HX400v. When I come to this sight there is a B added. Is this the same camera?

Yes, it is the same camera. I ordered one about a month ago. It arrived and I did not understand that the labeling was different from what I ordered. I called the store where it came from and they told me it was the same camera. I can describe the camera in 2 words. I LOVE IT. I'm on vacation and it is easy to use and takes great pictures.

I have Sony hx400v According to my knowledge, the difference between the model b and v is gps
1850620
I purchased from Amazon and the camera is a V (even though the page says v/b).
1850621
Yes, it is just black. The HX400 without the V does not have GPS. I've had my HX400V for two weeks and thus far it is taking exceptional pictures.
1850622
I believe it has to do with color. But it only comes in black. I did ask sony the same question.

The "B" refers to the body color. B=black. At least that's what I have been told. I used the camera about a month and returned it. Great video, but was unimpressed with picture quality. We've had the 100 and 200 model versions and we're disappointed with this model.

I think mine was a Sony as shown in the picture. All items top quality, but the case is pretty useless. I changed to a Sony case and am very happy with the whole package and the camera is great!

that's a good question. if you are having a hard time finding it you might have to contact Sony and ask them. I believe this is an old camera. they may or may not have the information. Best buy might have what you are looking for. then again it might a sony proprietary thing. it that is the case then it might not be cost effective to even look for it as it might be too expensive. good luck

Well, I'm now reading about another option: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-H20/B 10.1 MP Digital Camera with 10x Optical Zoom and Super Steady Shot Image Stabilization.This one compares to the Panasonic ZS3 and both sell for approximately the same price. I guess I'm still stuck in wanting to figure out which one of these models (DSC-H20, ZS3, DSC-W350, W370) can do all of the things they promised but at a faster speed.

I have the original DSC-H20, and we gave the DSC-H20/B to my father-in-law for Christmas. His looks and is almost exactly the same as mine, but it has a few more options in the manual and program modes. Specifically I recall that he had more shutter speeds and focus distances to choose from. Edit: Sorry, I was mislead! My camera was missing some ISO speeds, etc. in the menus for some reason (stopped at 800 instead of 3200). But they just appeared. Must have been a firmware glitch!? :(

Beware the Sony "cineframe" options -- they look terrible. I have a Sony HC3 and while it's a fine little camera in 1080i 60i mode, the pseudo-24p stuff looks awful. The HV20 promises TRUE 24fps recording, plus a cinematic gamma curve, plus OIS, plus manual audio level controls, plus better lowlight performance. I wasn't even planning on buying a new camera, but I'm buying an HV20. At $1099, it's a great deal!

I'm wondering this too. Did either of you end up getting one of the cameras? Any reviews?

Thanks Technology Guy...I have one more question since you guys know what you are talking about. I was just reading a lot of great reviews about the Canon PowerShot S90, it sells for the same price of the new Sony so price wouldn't be an issue. I'm just wondering from the Sony HX5V or the Canon PowerShot which one will be a better buy.

Nope, but you have to many other options, this is a fantastic camera, however see the HX200V is a new model.

This looks like the one I sent Back, I would send it back it is not the good camera, The one you want looks like this one costa about $ 50 .00 to a $ 100. more and a friend has one and it works great. Do send all the stuff back. john

Hello, This is my 1st Sony camera. I am not sure what the difference is. But, I can say the Sony A77 has been wonderful. Very glad with my purchase.

Look up "Imaging Resource" website. There is a very cool "Comparometer" (look on the left side, "Compare Sample Images). I, too, am trying to decide between the ZS7 and the HX5V. My biggest beef (in particular, with the Fuji F80, which I returned), is with over-processed images wiping out facial tone. I'm worried the Sony does that a bit, but it seems to retain some of the Fuji's low light magic. It's a shame the ZS7 went up on megapixels and therefore lost resolution in processing out noise. (Compare the house photos between the two on the Comparometer. The ZS3 clearly wins. Look up "Imaging Resource" website.

Sony's website doesn't list an XR260, just the XR260V, so I'm guessing it's the same camera. Often they will make a slight change to the model number if it is being sold at a specific place like Sam's Club or Costco, but the models are the same, they may just come with different things in the box.

Thank you very much for the reply. I took the one back that I purchased at wal mart and ordered the same camera from buydig.com. Saved almost 100.00 bucks. I really haven't had a good chance to try it out yet but will. Your post really helped me feel better about the camera.

you probably have 'clone' battery & not an actual Sony battery--the clone batteries will work OK in the older cameras like the H50 or W150, but NOT in the 'HX" series like the HX5V or HX100V--this message pops up in the newer cameras taking this battery because their power requirements are much higher if it is a cheap 'clone'--you can even take a battery that has gone dead from an "HX" series camera and put it in an "H" series camera and still shoot several frames--this is why I mentioned in my review about being a real Sony battery--I am sure that what you have is a counterfeit battery
