Had some concerns, given the reviews, when I ordered the Sony, because I really wanted to buy the HX 200V, but given the price explosion and the only, at present, low price difference, I decided nevertheless to HX 300. Did they get today and now tens of photos and some videos shot because I'm leaving tomorrow on vacation and I wanted to settle something. Having eaten the HX 5 possess, that was not difficult, because for example. the menu is similar! I almost everything in auto mode "shot" and I must say, all the best! Both pictures, and even a Canon Cam Videos.Habe., which cost about 1000 times, and the videos are equal !! I did not expect! The photos, when I have made with 50 x zoom and then in the camera or PC again ran zoome fuzzier, but please, I can live with! So I am, at least now, impressed and highly zufrieden.Ich can not understand that there is to go wrong when I take pictures in auto mode and shaky or blurry photos produce. Either these are all "Mondays cameras" or it's up to the people behind the camera !?
