    This was such a great deal with the free battery and memory card. I was sad to have to return it because it was too small. I love Sony cameras and am sorry to see that the newer models are even smaller than the already small but better size HX-50. I still recommend it if you have really small hands.

    When the flash goes off the photos are too bright.

    Very nice versatile camera, I love the built in wifi. I don't think the pictures are as nice as my older cybershot. The flash tends to make the photos too bright and without the flash the photos are blurry.

    My 10 Year Old Loves It

    My 10 year old wanted a camera for both pictures but also to shoot her own "youtube" like videos at home for fun. So far this camera has delivered. The record button is a little confusing and has caused us not to capture a couple videos we thought we were shooting but i think we just needed to get used to how it works.

    I bought this for my daughter, as she was leaving home to go on an LDS mission, to Japan. I bought it because of the reviews, the fact that the display turns several different ways, and its options compared to cameras within the same price range. My daughter is very happy with her camera.

    Great camera for a point and shoot beginner. It has many modes that can be selected for a user who has a good working knowledge of photography but does not want to carry around a big expensive camera.

    I purchased this camera to replace another that worked, but lost the cable to connect to computer. I love the WiFi feature. I was able to download the pictures to my tablet. I didn't care about the selfish feature at first, but am so glad that I got it. Got some great pictures using that feature.

    I got a good deal on this camera. My family and i bought it to make youtube videos and so far so good. Theres no touch screen, but im ok with that. Also you have to hold it pretty far out to vlog cause the lens isnt a wide angle. Or maybe it is and idk how to use it right lol.

    We needed a new point and shoot after our other Sony (probably 10 years old) began giving us troubles. We are very pleased with this purchase. The zoom capability is fantastic. Sony quality can't be beat, which why we always return to Sony for camera equipment.

    This cam was mentioned to me by the sales rep in Best Buy. Wanted to buy another cam that was cheaper, but this was mentioned and I went for it instead. I will say that I feel it was a great purchase. love the Scene finder on this cam. No other camera with this price range have that feature.

    I haven't gotten to see if this works yet because I bought an open box satisfactory. The listing says that anything essential to the camera working will be in there. Apparently they don't consider things like batteries and chargers to be necessary for the camera to work. My open box satisfactory camera was literally just a camera. Nothing else. Be prepared if you buy one that it won't have the battery. FOCUS camera sells a battery charger combo. Hopefully it will get here before the return window expires.

    Zoom is not so easy to make clear. Pictures look good, but you need to print the long manual to figure out how to do things or get it back to taking simple pictures if you accidentally push a wrong button.

    Two weeks after purchasing this item the lens malfunctioned. Now I'm without a camera waiting 30 days or more to have it repaired. Having a warranty is good, but the inconvenience of being without a camera for work is costly.

    I bought this to try it out and compare with other vlogging cameras. It’s definitely nice to have with the flip screen. But the image quality on both pictures and video isn’t that great.

      Hi KatSherokee, sorry to hear that the DSC-HX80 did not meet your standards. If you are looking for a compact size with greater image quality, I'd recommend the RX100 VI or RX100 VII. Sony_US

    I got this for work since it requires me to constantly take pictures for reports. The small grip allows me to quickly point and shot. The software also helps clean up the quality. I got this used so it was a great deal for me.
