a 20x zoom, equivalent to 25-500mm on a regular 35mm camera, 
with a maximum aperture of between f/3.5 and f/5.3, depending on magnification.  

SENSITIVITY:
Keep it at ISO 3,200 or below though, and you can make use of every photosite on the 16-megapixel chip to produce 4,608x3,456-pixel shots.

BAD: 
Noisy zoom when shooting movies
PRICE:
 min: 200$; 180€

18.2-megapixel pocket snapper (4896x3672 pixels) has a sturdy chassis without any flex or give, 

 a 20x optical zoom 

 "40x"

40x optical zoom doesn't stand up to particularly close scrutiny 

Sony's sales literature claims that the HX20V features '40x Clear Image Zoom' which, the company explains, 'doubles [the] 20x optical zoom range to an effective 40x, filling the frame with distant subjects while maintaining superb image quality'.
While I can't argue with the first half of that statement, the second half didn't chime with what I discovered in my tests.
The HX20V's zoom is extraordinary for so small a camera, and a real asset. If you're looking for a travel camera and don't want to carry a chunky body and several lenses then the optical zoom here gives you the equivalent of 25-500mm in a regular 35mm camera.
