It doesn't matter which one you choose. Both will be good. Both will be better if you read the manual and understand when to use different scene modes besides Auto.
I need your help to decide which camera to buy, WX9 or HX5V? I have a one year old boy and I want to take the best pics of him. Can you help me please?
