Point-and-Shoot with GPS and Compass


Want a really great point and shoot with GPS and compass...  MidNight suggests one of SONY's HX models as a point-and-shoot camera.  Each has an 18Mp sensor, GPS, and a compass.  All also have the ability to record video as well.  Main difference is an extra digital zoom and WiFi.  Generally lenses are quite good.  Try to avoid the use of software zoom – use only optical zoom.

B&H Comparison – My suggestion for value and feature would be the DSC-HX20V/B – for an extra $40 the HX30V offers digital zoom and WiFi. All have panograph automations... very cool

The combination of compass and GPS is a good choice and my experience with these series is they are quite good.  You will need to add memory card.  I suggest considering a 32GB - Type 6 or better because these cameras can also record 1080p60 full motion video.
