QuestionI have trouble seeing the image being filmed on the camera screen when taking pictures in bright sunlight. Would this camera or any camera be able to correct this situation?
Asked 8 years ago by MamaChickadee.
- Answer That's what the Electronic Viewfinder is for. Use the pop-up EVF - by virtue of bringing your eye to the EVF, you are shading the tinier screen from the ambient (background) sunlight that is washing out the larger rear display.

Questionwhats the difference between this model and the Cyber-Shot HX90V?
Asked 9 years ago by Anonymous.
- Answer I feel that is important to note that in addition to having no GPS, the HX80 also does not have the control ring surrounding the lens like the HX90V does. On the HX90V, this ring can be configured to adjust different settings when you turn it.

QuestionIf I'm mainly going to be taking still photos on a 2-week vacation, what size memory card do I need and what types will the camera take?
Asked 8 years ago by Marzumotan.
- Answer I have a 32GB SDHC in mine and the camera indicates nearly 5000 shots. You will recharge the battery several times before you run out of memory! I think it will hold up to 64GB or perhaps 128. 32GB is as large as I ever use, even on my Nikon D7100. Many times I just use 16 GB.

QuestionThe specs shows that when shooting continuous movies: "Based on non-stop recording until the limit (29 minutes or 4GB) has been reached, and then continued recording again." Does this mean that each movie can only be 29-minute long or 4GB maximum in size?
Asked 8 years ago by BBCust2017.
- Answer Yes, this means your video will be broken up into file segments with max size of 4 GB or 29 minutes, whichever you reach first. Once the limit is reached, the cameras will start a new file automatically. You won't miss any footage. You can use computer video editing software to seamlessly combine the segments into one video. Otherwise most video players will play the segments consecutively in sequential order.

QuestionSo I am looking to purchase this camera for YouTube, but I would like to know how long does the camera last? Is it going to last me several years, or only a few? And also, would you recommend this camera for filming videos?
Asked 8 years ago by heyitszo.
- Answer I've got the HX50 that I love. It's been great so far for two years and I shoot every day. I've shot a couple of short burst videos so wouldn't be qualified on the video question. The HX80 is the newer version of my HX50. I'd sure buy it.
