User Reviews for Sony CyberShot DSC-HX300 Bridge Camera

@ Mr. Aakash Kumar.... 1) Pixel Count does not matter so much.... Even a 8MP Camera is sufficient for 13 X 19" prints.... there is not almost any difference between a 12 MP and 20 MP sensor ( invisible difference )... Besides this in Point And Shoot cameras generally, a higher pixel count produces more noise... And, after using both Sony CB DSC-HX300 and HX200, I must adore that the picture quality of the latter is better (Though it is 18.2 MP ). 2) Please read the specifications attentively... 921,600 dots is the resolution of the LCD of the camera, not of image. 3) The ISO 12800 and 6400 are just crap... In this camera noise appears even on ISO-400.... And, on ISO-1600 many details are lost... And, in this field Canon SX50 HS excels... With its DIGIC 5 processor it handles noise excellently... 4) From my personal experience ( I am a user of Nikon D3100 ) I can say that you have no need of 1/4000 sec shutter speed.... Even for water drop photography 1/2000 sec is sufficient... Though you will need that if you want to photograph a bullet !!!!!! ......... At last, buy a DSLR, why you will you pay 25000 for a point and shoot camera with a 1/2.3 inch sensor !!!!!

whatever you said is fine... but as far as buying this with 25000 goes, this point and shoot camera is easy to use and gives great picture quality. most people don't know too much about lenses etc.... so what is the point of buying a DSLR if we dont know how to use it??? rather this easy to use point and shoot camera with excellent picture quality is better option for most people.... DSLRs worth 25000 are for amateur photographers on a budget..... this camera is more for people who want good quality pictures when they go to vacations without all the hassles that come with a DSLR. this is an excellent product for the casual photographers market. nfor others-go ahead and buy this camera if you don't want the hassles of a DSLR. excellent all round performance with awesome auto modes. you will not be disappointed if you are looking for a high range point and shoot. the cannon SX50HS is slightly better.... but at almost 5k more than this. so as far as I am concerned this is the best overall.

At first, I was very confused between The Canon SX50 HS and the Sony HX300....nCanon and Sony both have the 50x Optical zoom.... The Sony has the optical steady shot to help you even at the highest zoom range in the camera... Whereas the Canon has the DIGIC 5 processor to handle noise excellently...nThe Sony Has a 150x digital zoom and the Canon has a 4x digital zoom....nThe Canon has a 12.1 MP with a CMOS sensor and the Sony has a 20.4 MP with an Exmor CMOS sensor.....nThe lens of the Canon camera is the made by themselves whereas the Sony has Carl Zeiss Lens.....nThe Canon has a Flip out LCD display, and the Sony has a Vari-angle Display....nShutter speed the Sony has a 1/4000 sec speed and the Canon has a 1/2000 sec speed....nAnd What I really liked in the Sony HX-300 is the manual Zoom ring which is also the the manual Focus ring... Gives a DSLR feelnSo after checking out all of these I think that the Sony is the winner...... nBut both the cameras Are great in their own ways But if you ask me.....nI'd suggest the Sony HX-300 and extra points are that the camera has extra effects which we usually go online upload the pic and edit and get it done....

HI all,nPurchased the camera in august ,one of the main reason to choose it instead of Canon SX50 was manual ring and bigger aperture 2.8 instead of 3.5 in canon.I got it for 21433 as cash back offer was going around at that time.nnI used both the camera before buying Sony.To be honest Canon image quality was a bit better but not good enough for extra 4500 i have to pay!!nnPros:n1.The zoom is just wow, 50x is massive though quality degrades.n2.Grip of the camera is really good, i mean the best in segment.n3.battery is good.n4.In scenes the defocus mode is aawsum , i will share my flickr link,check that.n5.menu is really easy to navigate.n6.Low light photography is good.n7.The bag hat comes for free is really good.nnnCons:n1.When cropped to 100% its too grainy!!n2.You have to learn how to get better pictures, auto mode not sufficient.n3.the 60fps video mode is stored in not so common format,so it didn't ran on my LED,working fine with PC.n4.You need to but class 10 card for video.nnnSo basically its on you what you choose, both canon and Sony are good buy , but dont expect them to work line SLR, they just look too grainy when 100% cropped.nnMy Flickr link: /100422962@N08/nPlease feel free to ask question, will try to answer them.

Mr ROY gave 2 star for this camera, I don't know why,either he doesnt know how to use the camera or he didnt buy the camera.Anyways,lets come to the point. I am a wildlife freak, was planing to buy a camera, but was confused which one to choose.DSLR or Sony Cyber shot. Then after much research and hopping around shops, I found that buying DSLR would cost at least 25k, and buying lens for zoom you need to spend some more buck .. n for nature lovers like me...300mm lens is the minimum I would need, which would burn my pocket as I am not a professional photographer. I choose this camera because, of its zooming power. I could even see the dent in the moon with its zoom without any blur. With full zoom you need to keep it in a tripod or someplace. The clarity is perfect. I have posted some pictures in my blog and you cannot distinguish between DSLR and this camera. Excellent photo quality and like DSLR you need to change shutter, focal, ISO henceforth to get the best shot. Pixel does matter n also the zoom,At night you can take pictures beautifully. You will get the best night shot not to dark not to bright. with sports mode you can get the best birds in flight motion. Please don't underestimate this camera, it is as powerful as DSLR but at less price.
