Visually, the Sony DSC-H300 is quite nice to look at. The service is pleasant simple. When snap without deep zoom the camera reacts quickly. But what is absolutely disappointing, the reaction time is when zoomed. It rattles and clatters and about 10 seconds later, the camera will not activate from. The image quality is similar: without Zoom ok (but nothing more), absolutely useless with Zoom.
At this price I did not expect the quality of a SLR and ultimately I chose this model because I've had a good experience with Sony. In my opinion, this camera but not worth the price. For the money, there are compact cameras, enabling far better pictures. Go back without hesitation - no purchase recommendation!
