The H55 is a compact long-zoom digital camera with 14.1 megapixels and a 10x lens. It is similar to the Sony HX5V in that they both have a 10x lens and a 3-inch LCD on a compact body. The HX5V, however, costs a hundred dollars more and comes with trendier features like a built-in GPS and compass, intelligent sweep panorama technology and full 1080p HD video.
