But since we do but already have several predecessors of this camera, we have the following concessions and Verschlimmbesserungen very disappointed and evaluate the HX60 tough with 2 stars, because they are so for us is no longer sufficient and we must continue to use the pre-predecessor HX20.
(-) The flash drives unlike our HX20 not automatically from us, but must manually be removed and collapsed. The sabotages the automatic mode and is very annoying. Incidentally, the folding flash frame is very delicate and therefore very sensitive. How is better, Panasonic shows with a built-in flash, despite 30 Zoom.
(-) No more photographs during filming. A very interesting feature of the HX20 was simply deleted
(-) No 3D shooting more - perhaps for many only a "gimmick" - but of all the "gimmicks" still one of the most interesting, if you have a 3D TV.
(-) The new image processor is not faster, but more slowly, for example, when saving the photos.
(-) Unfortunately no 60p / 30p, but as with all other manufacturers also continue outdated PAL standard 50p / 25p.
And so it does not sound so one-sided, here are some plus points, the true way, even for the older Sony HX models:
(+) Best Video function, beats any affordable camcorder (if only for the wide-angle, zoom and 30 superior image stabilizer)
(+) The photos are satisfactory
(+) 30x zoom is awesome
(+) A lot of manual controls, but also rational automatic functions
We hope to have helped in the decision.
