Great compact camera can replace an SLR
||Posted .I bought this camera to replace my 7 year old Sony Digital camera. It still worked after many campouts, hiking, kyacking, and sightseeing trips, and riding in my briefcase. I bought it because I wanted to upgrade my pocket sized camera capabilities. for 379.00 this is not a cheap camera so I had pretty high expectations. It will not replace my Canon D60 completely but I was surprised at how good the pictures are and how clear and capable the 30x optical zoom lens is. I find that the pop up view finder is indispensible for use in bright sunlight, that is one of the reasons I picked this camera. I do wish the flash was on the front of the camera instead of a pop up. I have had great experiences with my old Sony compact digital camera so another Sony was my first choice. The viewfinder even focus adjusts to your eyes, important if you wear glasses or want to use the camera without your glasses. The camera takes bright clear pictures and focuses quickly in different lighting situations. The automatic modes and semi auto modes give you great flexibility in setting the camera. Of course the physical lens size also limits the f-stop range of the camera which can be a problem in low light photography. That is an issue with any compact digital camera. The WIFI feature of the camera is nice and if you have an Android or an Apple phone it will connect seamlessly. Play memories does not work very well on any of my windows 10 computers and I cannot connect directly via bluetooth or WIFI because there is no play memories mobile for Windows 10 machines. Dear Sony please fix this issue. Play memories does work OK if you plug the camera in via USB but at that point its easier to use the camera as a USB drive without Play Memories software. All in all I would highly recommend this camera for a beginer or for a dedicated SLR fan who wants a compact pocket alternative without giving up too much in capability.

Backup to my a6000
||Posted .I primarily use the Sony a6000 with vintage pentax kmount prime manual lenses. While this setup is great for landscape and portrait photos, it is not so good for variable distance photography nor is it well suited for action shots. I was looking for ZEISS Vario-Sonnar lenses to put on my a6000, but they are very expensive and hit only about 50% of the photos I like to take while out for the day. I decided to I wanted two cameras, to have on demand access to the type of lenses I would use for the day; enter the DSC-HX80. The HX80 had the optics I was looking for, the size I was looking for, the right cost point and close to the aperture range and max shutter speed I was looking for. It is nice that the buttons, menus and software for the HX80 are just like the a6000 so I didn't have to learn a bunch of new stuff and when switching between the two won't have to adjust my thinking. Heck, in full manual mode (ISO, Shutter, Aperture) are all individually manually configurable and aperture stops are range bound by the zoom level (24mm- 720mm) - this is a nice feature. I used the HX80 for the last few days and it is really simple to use, even on full manual. It is great outdoors! Indoors, the low light is so-so. In low light it has a nice "automatic" feature where it takes several pictures at once and overlays them to eliminate has much "shake" as possible with the slower shutter speed. Outdoors it is a star and the max shutter of 1/2000 is sufficient. The 30x digital zoom is really nice for such a small camera and helps cover the 24mm on the small side and the 720mm on the big end. Only thing - the HX80 only takes photos in jpeg format so there is limited post production opportunities (just adds a little more pressure to take the picture right the first time). Overall this is a great camera, with many advanced features, well worth the buy - just pay attention to indoor low light (but all cameras struggle with this unless you are using a $1.5k lense).

Get More Than You Paid With This Sony
||Posted .I have been buying Sony compact digital cameras since about 1999. I have had a Sony Mavica and two Sony compacts before this one. In addition to this Sony I also have a Nikon D5500 (also bought at best buy) and an iPhone 7 plus. This Sony is not an expensive compact but puts out quality images well above what I expected. This includes close ups, people, distance shots, and so on. The only thing I have had some issue with is a 3.5-6.4 lens means low light shots might be a problem unless you use the built in flash. The built in viewfinder is small and takes a while to get used to. But now that I have it works fine. You NEED a viewfinder to shoot in full sunlight. If you don't have one you are just guessing on your shots. The images size of this viewfinder is small, but it is a small camera, which is one of it's best features. Sony also puts an auto shutoff and turn on into the viewfinder which is handy. The color rendition of this camera is excellent. Plus you can adjust the color to how you want it. I have found that the automatic functions work really really well. The camera's computer seems able to know a close up from and landscape and people and so on. The Zeiss lens is very good. I take lots of close ups. Used right this lens is very sharp. Plus it has amazing and I mean amazing ability to zoom. And the camera is stabilized! That means you can take birds in flight with high zoom and they turn out well. Amazing for this size and cost camera. I caught a hawk in flight a couple of weeks ago and the results were very good. The downsides are not great low light ability. My iPhone 7+ works better in low light. Sorta cheep feeling case and body compared to my last Sony compact (A DSC - W100). The thing is this camera is SMALL and packs a lot of capability into your pocket. I carry this in one pocket and my iPhone 7+ in my other pocket and have a really great duo. This camera is far better for long zoom. iPhone better in low light.

Good little camera
||Posted .I researched a few different P&S cameras because I wanted one that had great quality but wasn't too expensive. I already have a Sony a6000 but wanted something smaller and compact to carry around. I stumbled across this one and I really liked it because of the 180° screen. The only downside which is also a complaint by other customers is that it doesn't perform really well in low light. I bought it primarily to follow my toddler son around and capture silly moments on the fly. It does the job, even in the low light. But my Samsung S9+ is wonderful in low light, so I'd expect more from a camera, nonetheless a Sony. But other than that, I love it!!! And so does everyone else! I also love that it is compatible with PlayMemories Mobile app so I can transfer pics and vids (in mp4) to my phone within seconds. And can also use my phone as a remote so that I can take pics by using the PM app. Would definitely recommend!

Great but!!
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.I love this camera, I was needing something with a zoom that could reach the football field from the stands, while having really good quality, I get the best pics and videos with this camera, it’s small and easy to pack in purse , the wristlet came very handy as well... love it!! Definitely recommend, ,, Quick note... this works best with a tripod stand. So it keeps a steady video. The pic I posted was zoomed out way too much but it’s the only pic I had on my phone from the camera.. it’s way better in person I promise!!

As Expected From Sony; Powerful Zoom
Posted .This is my third Sony Cyber-shot in the last 7 years. I loved the last one, but I got something on the sensor and decided to upgrade instead of cleaning the old one. This camera has excellent zoom for a point and shoot. A good zoom is part of the reason I picked this one. The photo quality is very good, although it's definitely worth taking the time to read through the owner's manual and become familiar with the various modes and settings. I was initially so upset with the low-light, indoor shots (with flash) that I considered returning the camera. Some setting adjustments took care of most of that. Of course, a small pop-up flash can only go so far. Par for the course with point and shoots in general. Still, I find myself having to really adjust settings/flash to get good indoor shots in lower lighting. That's about the only reason that I rated the camera 4 instead of a 5. I also initially thought that having to manually pop up the flash would drive me nuts. Now, after a couple weeks of owning it, it's just habit to pop it up as soon as I turn the camera on. I've been impressed with the various night-time modes. Good results with those. The pool picture I added here was taken on sunset mode. I like the flip screen. It's helpful for selfies, especially if you're cramming several people into the shot. The macro photos I've gotten out of this camera are fabulous. Good focusing ability from the camera. Basically, so far so good. There are a few user things that aren't especially intuitive, but since I'm already accustomed to Sonys, it works for me. If you're after a point and shoot with awesome zoom and the ability to manually adjust settings, this is a pretty great option. It obviously doesn't have the bigger sensor that you'd get on a DSLR, but for what it is, it's great.

Good For Vlogging
||Posted .My first choice was going to be the Canon G7 MK II but the price was a Bit more then I wanted to spend, and I really wanted a Point and Shoot with a Flip Up screen so I could see myself while I recorded and this was the next best option and I LOVE it. DEFINITELY A good first time Point and Shoot.

Sony's best long telephoto point and shoot
||Posted .this Sony DSC HX80 was a replacement for a Sony DSC-WX50 purchased at Best Buy four years prior, that i captured almost 60,000 images with, so i knew Sony could do the long haul,and I couldnt pass up the Best Buy deal for the HX80 and its 30x telephoto and pop up electronic viewfinder...great for sunny days when the main screen is overcome with glare....more than pleased with the color capture and sharpness of the images.Sony's best long range point and shoot with manual options. Images attached are originals that have been mirrored left or right half.

Q: 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 by MamaChickadee.
- A: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.

Q: QuestionHow good is this camera for night pictures without flash?

Q: Questionwhats the difference between this model and the Cyber-Shot HX90V?
Asked by Anonymous.
- A: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.
