The HX300 is an amazing value!
on December 29, 2013
Posted by: Aube1
Overall, the DSC-HX300 is a stunning achievement for Sony. What attracted me was the 50x optical zoom (100x digital enhancement if desired) and the AVCHD movie capability. What convinced me to buy was a series of YouTube reviews by professionals and hobbyists raving about the many features of the camera from its image stabilization, 1200mm (35mm equivalent) zoom lens, and its special effects provisions. Now that I've had a chance to test the camera in various environments from indoor low-light to outdoor snow storm conditions, I'm absolutely thrilled with my decision to buy. I could only be happier if the camera's accessories were a little more reasonably priced. The micro HDMI to HDMI cable is one example. If you're looking for a bridge camera (between a point and shoot and a DSLR) the HX300 is certainly one to consider. If you wanted to equip a DSLR to match the capabilities of this package, you'd have to spend hundreds, if not thousands more. Well done Sony!

Love This Camera
on February 23, 2014

I haven't had this camera very long but like what I've seen so far. The zoom is incredible. I replaced an HX100 that I was quite happy with as well. I see the HX400 is on the horizon with some of the features that were left off the HX300 returning.
Just a couple of pictures as an example how good the zoom is. Taken hand held...

First Day = Amazing Surf Video
on August 29, 2014
Posted by: 1projectreality
First day out with camera was to record huge surf at The Wedge in Newport Beach CA. I bought this camera to take photo's of my son who made his high school surf team Zoom worked great! Beacuse of estimated 10,000 on beach, I filmed from 100 yards away and still got great zoom action on surfers. Sometimes I over zoomed being new to camera. See video below on youtube..

I use this each and every day. I am an artist and art historian. Need to document my work so a simple entry level point and shoot was my reason for purchase. Now I am into landscape photography and am learning how to use this camera like a pro. It takes great photos and I enjoy the hobby.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this camera, but when I try to hook it to my pc, it never wants to let me download the photos. Something is broken between the HP and Sony.
I would recommend this to a friend!

LOVE IT!!
on January 1, 2015

I had wanted to move up from point and shoot, but could not justify the expense of a DSLR for the amount of use I get from a camera.
This camera has exceeded my expectations in EVERY way! While I have not had the camera very long, I am discovering new things it can do every day.
The 50X zoom, combined with the Clear View Digital zoom is absolutely amazing. As I am a motorsports official, I plan to use it for lots of racing pictures, and the features the camera has will make the quality of images I can produce go up dramatically.
This is going to be a camera that I use for many years to come.
I would recommend this to a friend!
