I take a look at Sony's successor to the DSC-HX200, the DSC-HX300. This camera adds a massive 50x optical zoom and a few new welcomed features that will satisfy nearly any type of photographer. Keep watching to see what I think about this camera.

I’ve been using the Sony-Hx300 camera for the last 3 weeks mostly on manual mode and it works great, it actually allows you to start using some professional camera settings, low light performance it’s not the best but with the correct settings you can definitely have great quality pictures. Great option to use it as a travel camera

Hi! Good review! one question,,, is it good in poor-light conditions? like sunset, or shots at night (city landscapes). thanks!!
@JohnSisonPhotography 9 жыл бұрын
Laura B. tabari For sunsets it stills performs damn good but at night scenes it may struggle a bit but the good is that you can use multi frame noise reduction where the camera will take 2-6 photos and stitch them together to get a noise free image (best to use on stationary subjects).

In this particular case, I bought for example the HX200V for travels and stuff like that. If you are an enthusiast photographer you will be very pleased with the camera, giving you options and tools to take the pictures you want. The low light shots aver great, the 10fps option is great also for speedy conditions and you have also the antiblur scene, wich I suppose is in the HX300 too. Oh, and the video quality of the camera is AMAZING. AVCHD 1080p 60p to be precise.

I have had my Sony DSC-HX300 for almost a year now and I absolutely love it. My only problem is that I still need to learn a lot about it and I don't know what else to do. It has been one of the best purchases I have ever made and I highly recommend it to others. If there is any way that you could maybe help me learn a little more about the camera that would be a big help. But overall I love it!!!!!

Thanx John. Very good review! I am an amateur & have a lot to learn before going DSLR. But my family and friends rave over the pictures I capture with this camera. I think it's pretty much luck, even though I do try to get the best shot that I can. 😉 I shoot mostly landscape, & the Moon & Stars are good friends of mine. Also sunrise & set. So the mega zoom is awesome. I used Best Buy, & Wal-Mart's 15 day no questions asked refund policy, & went through 4 cameras before settling on the Sony. HX300. The lense makes the Sony an easy hands down choice.

nice video as always - I think I am going to get the DSC-HX50V/B - was thinking of the HX300 as 50X was so attractive - but I like small - so the WX300 at 20x as an option - but now I think I found a happy medium with the HX50V/B - so really look forward to see your review as I have a feeling that you will get a hold of one before I get one - but specs look fine

after MUCH research and searching i finally made the choice to buy this camera today :D i fell in love with it the moment i saw it at the store .. i had some photographer friends try to steer me to the canon sx50 hs instead of this one but i just really liked all the added features of this camera over that one (manual zoom collar - flip lcd - scrolling panorama - still shots from video) ... i am however looking to learn all the features - will you be posting a tutorial video??
@JohnSisonPhotography 11 жыл бұрын
There are two on the market which are highly rated and that is the HX300 and the SX50. I haven't used the SX50 extensively so I would probably suggest trying them both out at a camera store.
@JohnSisonPhotography 11 жыл бұрын
You can get good footage and photos with the HX300 as well. Just have to shoot in good lighting conditions and once you know its limitations, it'll be easy to work around them.

Thanks for the review, I am going to start saving for it in September. But I am getting the feeling that I am better off waiting for the HX500V which might be 63x like the H400, but with all the goodness of the HX400V, and hopefully RAW which all 3 models are missing.

You never know and its a bit of a gamble but you may be waiting for a while if you were to get the next model after the HX400.

The reason is because the a57 has a larger sensor than the HX300 despite having more megapixels. Megapixels mainly count if you're printing large photos but sensor size plays a large part in image quality.

It depends what you want most out of your camera. If you prefer having a longer zoom, the HX300 would be the better choice. If you value image quality and low light performance, the a58 would be the way to go.
@JohnSisonPhotography 11 жыл бұрын
If I was on a budget, I would probably go for the HX200 but if you really need the 50x optical zoom and a slight increase in megapixels then the HX300 is worth saving just that bit more for.

WIFI allows you to use an internet connection to transfer images, GPS allows you to tag your photos on a map of where you've been, RAW capture is digital negative that allows you to edit your photos in post without much loss in quality. DSLR stands for Digital Single Lens Reflex. Take out the Digital part and its that SLR acronym. The HX300 is still a cyber shot but just a different type. Its a superzoom camera. You might want to check out the WX300 since its slim or even the TX30.

If you want good very good low light performance and image quality, I'd say go for the a57 and get a zoom lens to go with it. Perhaps the 18-250mm lens, although it will be large kit you'll have.

Hey John, thanks for the review. I bought the DSC HX300 for my wife and think she will love it. The last fine camera I bought was in the early '70's when it was common practice to add a UV filter to protect the lens and keep the blue in the sky from washing out. I see the lens has a thread for a filter but nowhere in the owner's manual or on Sony's website do I see what diameter the lens is. Do you know? Is a UV filter still necessary or valuable? Thanks, Nick Doneff, Evergreen CO

Hi Nick, It takes 55mm filters and I would recommend getting one just in case the worse were to happen.
