Excellent image quality, Exemplary handgrip, Fast f2.8 maximum aperture
Unintuitive menu system, Zoom control ring lags
The HX300, with its monster Carl Zeiss zoom, can easily handle landscape/scenic photography, wildlife photography, event photography (festivals, concerts, parties, family gatherings), and travel photography. A DSLR shooter would need a camera bag full of...
Abstract: Tweet The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-HX300 is a new digicam with a super zoom with a 20.4 megapixel back illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor. With a 1920 x 1080 50 p Full HD video recording facility the HDMI output and the stereo sound facilities provide you wit...
No wifi or GPS option, Lacks eye sensor for EVF, Lacks built-in ND filter, Lacks RAW shooting mode, Limited customisation options.
The Cyber-shot HX300 is a camera designed with one purpose in mind - to provide an extraordinarily long zoom range. To look at it another, more cynical way, it's Sony's competition for the Canon SX50 HS. There's no denying that having a hugely powerfu...
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300 has strong image stabilization to back up its 50x zoom lens; excellent picture quality for its class; and a large assortment of shooting options for all levels of photographers
The HX300's 20-megapixel sensor doesn't translate into better picture quality. It doesn't have a hot shoe, GPS, or Wi-Fi built in. Captures JPEG only, no raw
It can't match some of its competition in the features department, but the Sony Cyber-shot HX300 still packs a powerful zoom lens and plenty of point-and-shoot punch.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300 is a rather modest update of last year's HX200V model, principally adding a bigger 50x zoom and slightly more megapixels. This doesn't feel like enough of a step forward though, especially as most of our criticisms of the HX...

Sharp results handheld at maximum optical reach, Manual zoom, Tilting rear LCD
No raw shooting, Small sensor yet large pixel count, Not hotshoe or accessory port
Buying Guide Best compact camera As you'd expect from a DSLR-styled bridge camera bearing the Sony brand, the HX300 comes across as reassuringly robust and built-to-last when gripped in the palm, particularly with the lens resting dormant within its prote...
Nice, deep grip handle, Tilt LCD, accurate onscreen image, 50x zoom lens, Easy to use, Shooting at 1200 mm is feasible with the camera handheld
Build quality isn't amazing, EVF eye sensor has gone, Lowquality EVF, No RAW mode, Picture quality has taken a step backwards, Lens could be sharper and more consistent, Charges via USB (no standalone battery charger)
The Cyber-shot HX300 brings a 50x zoom and 20 million pixels to Sony's bridge camera. But as impressive as those numbers may look on the spec sheet, in real terms, their advantages are debatable. OK, so the HX300 zooms a bit further than last year's model...

f/2.8 aperture at the wide-angle setting, manual zoom and focus ring, considerable zoom range, decent optical stabilisation system, close-up macro mode (at wide-angle settings) works a treat, tilt-angle LCD has its uses, electronic viewfinder helps to sta
Image quality is trying to do too much, even low ISO shots suffer from excessive processing artefacts, no raw capture, pricey, overexposure can be a problem, camera won't always opt to use acceptable shutter speeds with auto ISO, no automatic viewfinder a
The Sony Cyber-shot HX300 is a quality superzoom camera from a use and performance point of view, but its high-resolution image sensor drops the ball when it comes to image quality finery. We've achieved some cracking shots using the camera - and th...
