I did forget about one factor you don't see on the spec sheet - the feel of it. There's nothing to grip! On the HX9V there's a finger grip on the front the height of the body, and a pad to rest the thumb on the back. On the SX240 there's a little ridge on the front, and nothing on the back for the thumb to rest on, except the mode wheel or about a half width of space to its left. So single handed shooting with this may be trickier, but perhaps I just need to get used to it. Its just a bit too rounded in the corners so there's nothing to hold on to.
Hmm, good point about the grip, the sony is indeed quite ok. Another thing I noticed on the Hx20 is that at tele it's f5.8, while the canon is f6.8. sony has only a ND filter, does the canon have an aperture?
