HX300 - Not for beginners!

No matter which picture was made, it was always slightly out of focus. Presumably factory adjusted incorrectly.

Camera / money back, perfect Amazon.com service, as always.

Direct a new order and all is well.

As an old DSC-HX1 and DSC-HX200V owner, me, the HX300 provoked course because of the new 50x zoom.

Who deals with the natural sciences / wildlife photography, but want to spend a fortune for digital SLR cameras / lenses and the whole lot then also want to drag through the area, comes to a bridge camera like HX100V / HX200V / HX300 past hardly.

Before buying the HX300 but be very clear questions: What I have with the camera before? Do I really need this enormous push, or I do like to irritate of superlatives.

The 50x zoom really makes sense only if you know your way around with the camera. Take time Hand-held is snap in low light something 100 meters away simply just sinnfrei. The software of the HX300 automatically at 50x zoom high ISO values, which leads to natütlich noise. It trembled slightly and you have a holder for the dustbin.

However, if you still working with tripod, manual ISO values ​​and partly self-timer, which is also in poor lighting conditions can still achieve very good results.

My present HX300 tops my HX200V many times. For this charge, of course, shows the 50x zoom, the faster autofocus, reduced image noise at higher ISO values, the lack of annoying "switching sensor" by the viewfinder, the 55mm thread on the lens, the new 360 ° panorama, the slightly larger body and the sensible rearrangement of some controls.

My recommendation: If you need to 50x zoom, for example in animal photography, which was to buy the HX300. (Test with tripod, ISO 80, 50x zoom and self-timer if the shots are sharp!)

Anyone looking for a "wool milk sow Eierlegende clippers" who is better off with the HX100V HX200V or while saving money.

In the HX300, applies, as with any other camera also, one has to deal intensively.

Practice, practice, practice, then it will come up with the perfect recording.

Have fun with the new Sony HX300V!
