I wish I could found such leaks for SLT and NEX cameras. A belgium online store leaked the new Sony compact cameras that should be in Stock by June only! Here are the links:

Any leaks or info on CP+ Camera and Photo Imaging show??
Thanks! I need these information.
These are just copies of the current generation cameras… At least I don’t see anything different.
It looks like they just took current models and put the expected names of them on their website.
so now it’s 18mpx…
Wow – I hopep there would be an end with the 16 Megapixel HX9 that i really love. But again 2 more megapixel???? Interesting that the “split” the HX9 into the HX10 and HX20 with different zooms.
And the HX10 and HX20 pictures are not copies of the actual HX9! Thats wrong!
They just realased Hx100 (16mp 30x zoom)
there is no reason to launch new hx200..
photo is also from hx100
18 megapixels.. great. and the same tiny sensors. And where will be image quality? HX5 was the best Sony compact camera since few years. Hx7 an 9 aren’t as good because new 16 megapixel sensors have.. to many megapixels. Why the hell Sony wont release good quality compact camera with Exmor R sensor and max 10-12 megapixels? It is enough and the image quality would be much better. 18 megapixel in compact camera is at this time pure stupidity.
I still have hx5 (mainly for video).
People do not check reviews/comparison tools – they belive in mpx so they get mpx. iPhone has better iq then today’s compacts.
Sensor in compact mostly better than what is inside DSLR, they are just tiny. Some use backside-illuminated, tech that is yet to be seen on DSLR.
Nope. DSLR is a lot better, not just bigger, that’s why people even want to use big and clunky dslr, shocking right?
And backside illuminated’s benefits somehow decreased heavily if the sensor got bigger to almost nothing.
z is wrong. See dxomark measurements on that: http://www.dxomark.com/index.php/Publications/DxOMark-Reviews/DxOMark-review-for-advanced-compacts
Even if some compact sensor is 2 times better at catching light, DSLR sensor has area about 10-20 times as much, that’s why people use it.
Your statement on BSI is just sour grapes of having outdated tech. You probably think that on APS-C sensor area loss due to wiring is insignificant, but just take a look at Sony 16 Mp (APS-C) sensor

Well, the reason why APS-C sensor does not use backside illumination is because the benefit is negligible in large sensor compare with that of small compact camera sensor. As the MP increase I am sure that at some points it start to make sense in using backside illumination. Although I hope APS-C sensor in the future stays with 24MP. It is plenty already.
“iPhone has better iq then today’s compacts.”
No it doesn’t.
The reason why iPhone looks great mostly because it bumps the saturation and contrast considerably so average people will be wowed, while the compacts actually retain the most natural look.
I know it doesn’t, it was just emotional response 🙂
Sony ignores enthusiasts – they can make cameras for casual users AND for enthusiasts/advanced photographers, why they don’t do so? NEX-7 is the only option but unavailable and to pricy for me.
Just clones of existing models. Sony lacks one XZ-1 (EX1, LX series…) An enthusiast compact camera with little WEIGHT and size; NEX are superb, but you can take an advanced compact in a little bag (or in a pocket).
18 MPs !!! 😀
Canon newest compact cameras usually have 10 megapixels. They will crush HX10/20 like a bug.
@passer-by
Backside Illumination Tech wouldn’t make sense on a dslr (APS-C / FF) sensor. The wires on a small sensor and on a big sensor have more or less the same size. So if you move the wires on a small sensor to the back (Backside illu) you have remarkable more light on the light sensitive area. The aps-c sensor is 12times larger, so so the win in light would be not near to the win on small sensors.. because the wires size/sensor size ratio is much smaller on aps-c.
I hope my english is sufficent enough to explain this 😉
Greatz
You are imagining that wires used on large sensor has same thickness as wires on small sensor. It is not. Here’s Sony 16 MP APS-C sensor: http://www.chipworks.com/media/wpmu/uploads/blogs.dir/4/files/2011/01/1075-1_PixelArray_Edge_BlGr-300×223.jpg
If your assumption had been true, there would be no colorshift issues with WA lenses. Leica M9 has such problems despite having large pixel pitch. Small 16 MP (even 3-4 MP) sensors wouldn’t even work if they were made with same precision as M9’s sensor.
that was 4.8 um pitch DSLR sensor, and here’s Samsung tiny BSI sensor (1.4 um pitch) cross section

I hope this ends your wishful “have same size”
Thanks for the info. BTW, your English is good enough for a non-native speaker like me. Hehehe.
Since the Sony T500 which suddenly introduced quite acceptable quality HD video in a compact, Sony has been leading the compact market and I have bought 2-3 cameras every year to get that years new and useful additions like full HD, then the optical steadyshot, then the incredible active optical steadyshot and here in 2011 again a new HX9v and a CX690 for the full HD progressive and a TX100V and a TX55 for their tiny size yet still astonishing full HD quality and reasonable steadyshot capabilities.
Here for 2012 I had prepared to buy the HX9 and CX690 successors if they would have WiFi and a TX100V/TX55 successor if it would have a physical video button + full HD progressive + (hopefully) WiFi too.
But it seems that I will have to enjoy the still fine quality of my existing Sony’s until 2013.
Hmmm the tx20’s specs look exactly the same as the tx10.
We really need a strong competition for Canon S100, Pana LX-5 or Oly XZ-1 from Sony. I would immediately buy it. Larger Sensor (1/1.6″) with modest MP (10 or max. 12), small housing, great image and video quality. I know Sony could do it.
i was lookn to replace my tx5….thot thhe next rugged cam would hv bigger sensor…5x optical and oled screen…tx20 is no diffnt frm tx10…gueess i shud wait again …
Actually the shop says they will be in stock by April 12. They’ve taken down the origina
Actually they say these products will be in stock by April 12. They’ve taken down the original pages but you can still find them in Google Cache: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:UnZacQb9qVgJ:www.fvdshop.be/dsc-hx10-digitale-compact-superzoom-dschx10-p-6828.html+dsc+hx10+digitale+compact+superzoom+dsc+hx10&cd=2&hl=nl&ct=clnk&gl=be
same typpe of features as last one….same old form factor and same sensor..i was lookn forward to replace my old cyebrshot tx5..isnt it high tym thy made a bigger sensor for the compact cameras…..an upgrade for exmor r ….and wt hapnd to tht orgami form factor sony patented long back a year ago…i wish sony brings the 3 layer sensor and slaps it in a nex camera this year..probabilly the full frame sony nex with all tht hybrid nex alpha thngy .. 😀
Uff, SMS writing on a forum
not found 😀
Here you can find the pictures etc.

I think that the leaked list is not complete as there is no successor after the great TX100V.
The TX100V already has 28 Mbps full HD 1080p video but it really could use an *active* optical steadyshot for video.
Right now I’m using the TX55 which has the active steadyshot – but is missing the progressive full HD.
I’m doing some 4-5000 stills and video-clips every year with these great little out-of-the-pocket-and-shoot cameras – and such an TX 200 would be a dream come true (if it also has a physical video button – and not that &%#? fumble-around-on-the-touchscreen-substitute)
… alternatively it would be perfect if Sony would upgrade the TX55 with 1080p …
The links are not accessible any more……..
The info is gone from the belgian site, but luckily
http://www.digifotopro.nl/content/acht-nieuwe-sony-cybershot-compacts-uitgelekt
has got the info. It is certainly interesting because it shows what is still to come. Although I am planning to buy the nex 7, and my wife owns a HX100v, the upcoming HX20 would be a handy extra to take with me all the time. sensor, Mpixels, zoom, everything’s right with this camera! Reviews of the previous HX9 are already very promising.
