Sony - DSC-H300 20.1-Megapixel Digital Camera - Black

Definitely a big improvement over our old cameras and phone cameras. Pictures seem to come out clear even in low light conditions and at high speed. Recording video is also a breeze as it has a built in mic that pics up nominal sound.

I bought this camera specially to take it to my trip to Disney World and its was fantastic!! It has really good images. I LOVE IT

I have owned Sony camera's for many years. In my opinion they continue to improve on their camera's and at the same time keep them affordable. I bought a similar camera from another brand with the same features for $150.00 more. It was shabby in comparison and I promptly sent it back. I consider myself an amateur photographer who just enjoys capturing those special memories of our family and grandchildren. Not to mention that I live in the mountains and have wildlife galore. This camera is amazing. It takes wonderful pictures , the zoom is quick and I haven't missed a moment or lost a shot yet. I'm having the best time learning and playing with my new camera. I only wish that it had a rechargeable lithium battery instead of 4 AA's. I did buy rechargeable AA's and a charger. But a regular digital camera battery would have been allot nicer. Other than that I truly cannot find one thing that I am disappointed it. Way to go Sony....you knocked it out of the park again !!

I had no idea how great this camera is until I found all its abilities in the user manual provided by sony on line.

I think for the price this is a great camera for someone who is starting to get into photography. Images are very nice, and the zoom is amazing. Only thing I don't like is that is battery operated. But other than that is great.

I bought this camera shortly after it was released from Sony, and couldn't be happier with the results it gives me. I'm not a professional photographer, but I've won many contests and awards with my photos. This camera can take awesome pics in macro - or with the incredible zoom. The focusing is quick, the LCD screen can be moved to different positions to make it easier to see in bright light, and it has a viewfinder for those of us "old school" photographers! Easy to use in any mode! I've taken many Ribbon Winning photos with this camera! The few issues I have with it is not with it's performance. The lens cap is useless, and is easy to fall off and get lost. It doesn't come with a printed manual. I'm not one to run to the computer every time I need to know something about the camera - so that is probably my biggest beef. And altho I don't take many flash pictures as I feel it gives things a "fake" look, I have to say I don't like this flash at all. It almost always makes people look way over exposed. But this camera is so awesome in low light, you won't have to use flash very often. You can take a photo in such low light with unbelievable results - you'll be blown away! This is my 2nd Sony, and I'm sold! I have many film SLR's and a Canon DSLR, but this HX300 is my "go to" camera! I wouldn't be without it!

great price ,love the 35x zoom takes professional looking photos.

1st off- never been a camera guy. bought this for a nascar event. awesome pit pass shots. race view shots were just ok. could not get good burst shots. decent zoom shots. again not a camera person, so... video was good. seemed easy enough to use with the few hours i had to learn before the event. this purchase was a couple months ago already. i think i paid 170 or 180. i assume i got just a little more than what i paid for in a basic camera.
