I purchased this camera last week because of your videos. This is the first camera I have purchased for myself and I mainly use it to take pictures of wildlife. If you want a quality camera with great zoom capabilities this camera will not disappoint you. Thanks for the awesome video review.
Great intro to the camera. Not only did you point out and describe the features of the camera you showed use the end product, video and still shots. That sold me in getting the Sony HX-300 Thanks,
I've seen a lot of reviews of the HX300 and this review is the one made me buy the camera, I just ordered mine from eBay for 450 with a lot of accessories.. Can't wait
I was stoked to receive this camera because of the zoom. Now I'm totally floored! Looks like I have a lot of great features to catch up on. Thanks for the review!
For GPS, you could add the info in post... Use something like GPSLogger on your smartphone and a simple batch processing software to add GPS info to all photos at one go.
Thank's for the superb review, it was incredibly helpful. I didn't know here was threading for filters which is GREAT! The panorama mode is terrific and your demonstrations of hand held shots to show both range and image stabilization knocked out. I like the Panny FZ200 but for me it might be overkill My hunch is I'll be logging onto Amazon and buying the Sony - Thanks again for the great review.
Thanks for upload...Just bought the camera and it is incredible....I'm a beginner when it comes to cameras, can you please upload videos where you give tutorials and tips...for example how were you able to take a picture of the moon and how do you set it up...Thanks....
Great review Michael. I hope to buy the HX300 in a couple of weeks (and the Sony Action Cam) I never use the GPS on the HX200V So i will not mis it. That sensor on the eyepiece... is a pain in the Aaaaa
I was wondering if you can make a video on how to get the best picture results on wildlife at night with high zoom. I spot deer from about 100-150 yards away with my flashlight and when I take a picture of them it turns out very grainy. It looks better when I am recording a video but the video setting won’t zoom in as far as the picture setting. Thank you in advance.
That type of screen is generally termed "flip-out" while the word articulating is more often associated with those that swivel in a 360 degree rotation, including facing toward the area being focused on permitting a user to see himself if, for example, producing a talking video..
agree with randalusa, the 2 downs for me are lack of flip-out screen (the above might save you from kneeling down once or twice but is otherwise a gimmick) & GPS which for me is what defines this generation of cameras. Nothing can catalog and put things in perspective like GPS and it is a key to a massive potential for connecting things. The Nikon P520 has an adapter, the WU1, but I can't see one for Sony yet.
Hi I am going to be using my Sony Dsc Hx300 for portraits and photo shoots however I need a little advice and knowledge on a lens that would be best for me. I am look for a lens with large aperture and great focus to dull out the background. And most importantly, affordable. Would mind recommending a couple of lenses to me?
you mention using a UV filter - how important is it to add that to the camera? I just got the Sony HX-300 and it's my first "bridge" camera. I am a casual photographer but want to be able to get the best images I can. thanks
I've stumbled upon this review by random browsing and I must say, you sir have some professional grade stuff on your channel. Amazing really. Even though this video is a bit old now I have to ask you this: do you recommend this camera for everyday usage such as family photos & videos, landscape photography and taking pictures of architectural structures? Looking forward to more tutorials and how-to's. Best regards.
I got the Sony HX50v with 30x - as it is still very small - still thinking about a bridge camera - so my focus is on the HX300 and the Panasonic FZ200 -- the Panasonic is only 600mm vs 1200mm of the Sony but the Panasonic has a F2.8 through out the range aperture - vs the 3.5-5.6 of the Sony - I think both have the same sensor size. I was just thinking also that 600mm is as far as one can go without getting to much haze and a steady shoot freehand
it doesn't have an interchangeable lens option. it's very good fo potraits though. if you want nice bokeh ( blurred background ) effect easily, go to scene selection mode and choose the "background defocus" option with auto focus. that should do the job for you.
What will give me better quality shots at 50X or 1200mm The HX300 or a Sony NEX6 with a 200mm lens and then I crop the pic to zoom in the same subject? Will the larger sensor give me a better result?
is it as good as the Panasonic FZ200? Debating which to get - Panasonic with a F2.8 through out the zoom vs the variable size on Sony - but I would suspect that IS is a bit better in the Sony - Panasonic only at 600mm - so would be a trade off - but just wondering if I can hold stead at 1200mm F6.3 ?? - You are right Sony RX100 just awesome - just debating if IS is good enough at F6.3 in not so good light
The camera will detect proximity to an image and switch to macro mode--as long as you're not in manual focus mode. The camera won't do a perfect job, all the time--but it usually does a good job. There will be an icon on the screen that looks like a flower, when it does so. If you haven't checked out the expert series on this channel, be sure to do...we will be producing a video that covers--including manual focus that can be used when shooting macro.
Great review video!. Does it have the option to select for Date/Time stamp (on the each photo or video)? and does the lens have Macro? something that allows you taking clear picture within around 4 inches distant from the lens?
Hi, I was wondering if you could help me with a bit of advice, I have been looking at this camera for a little bit now and I am wanting to use my degree and have a go at doing photography professionally, I have a few friends who would like portraits done of them with there children and I was wondering what the image quality is like in comparing this camera with the images you would see from a professional portrait photographer these days, it would be much appreciated.
Hey! Nice video. Which one of these would you pick the Fuji Film Finepix S1 or the Sony DSC-HX300? Our main use will be outdoor footage (hunting etc.) :o)
Hello there, actually, it's perfect, it costed around 350e when I bought it, here is my album entirely made with it: facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.678981475483670.1073741835.100001154704949&type=1&l=0fee73df04
magnificent review I loved , but you missed one small thing ,night shoots and how the flash light is, other than this its a greta review so thanks alot !
I like both cameras but prefer the 60fps video on the HX400. Low light is better on HX400. The SX50 is easier to carry and I like the way its screen flips around for protection while transporting it. With the peaking and GPS features the HX400 packs a little bit more of a punch.
Hi I'd like to know what camera should i buy , need it for take a pics for my work and some products , also for my traveling, i hope if it will be smaller than dslr but same pic quality and my budget about 700usd Thank you

Which one is better in terms of IQ, video - sony hx50v or hx300? I am really confused between these two Note - 30x zoom is more than enough for me so optical zoom is not a factor to be considered
I was thinking of getting the p520 Nikon cause those have wide iso ranges for shooting in bad lit places. Tho i heard some distubing things about build quality and slow auto-focus. Any thoughts on this ?
Does it auto focus that nice when zoomed in onto the moon? or do you have do set some settings? i did the setting where u can zoom 200x but after 100x it turn bad graphic mode lol digital mode i think

Good review. I bought one yesterday. You and TheDigitalDigest convinced me.
Oh, and get that kid a scholarship!
For GPS, you could add the info in post... Use something like GPSLogger on your smartphone and a simple batch processing software to add GPS info to all photos at one go.
very nice review. . . do u have a dsc h100 review. . .
Sorry but I haven't found any link to your site. What is it?

So i will not mis it. That sensor on the eyepiece...

Great video i love my Hx100v got my kid 200v for Christmas now i am thinking abut getting the 300v alot more stuff on the camera that i could use

Thanks. Yes, I am glad they removed the sensor to switch back and forth between the finder and LCD.
Can you install an external screen on it so you can see your own for instance when you're vlogging?
Thanks for putting up this review. I am consider getting this camera. I do own a HX200.
How do you do that at 6:43
I'm buying this one. Thanks mate. Ur review made me buy it. Love you.

Please do the review of HX 400V. Great video anyways.
Hi Sanie, HX400V vid is up!
Hey. brainyfaceproject, just watched your awesome video on hx400. Thanks!
Very informative review. Everything i wanted to know and well explained. thank you

Buying this today. Very nice review. Thanks.
Does this come with a disc ? Please answer asap (:
Well, that does it. I am upgrading from the HX-100V. In just a few minutes I will place my order!
They're available on the site, now.
Does this camera shoot in raw?
it doesn't have an interchangeable lens option. it's very good fo potraits though. if you want nice bokeh ( blurred background ) effect easily, go to scene selection mode and choose the "background defocus" option with auto focus. that should do the job for you.
Is it better than the Nikon Coolpix P520 or the Canon Canon SX50HS? Thanks.
H300 or canon 1200d? Mainly for video, thanks!
What will give me better quality shots at 50X or 1200mm
The HX300 or a Sony NEX6 with a 200mm lens and then I crop the pic to zoom in the same subject? Will the larger sensor give me a better result?
Is there much difference between the DSC-H300 and the DSC-HX300 ?
Does the cam 60fps in Full-HD??
Will anything from the DSC-H50 fit this camera? (The hood, the filters, etc.)
So the uv lens cap is 55mm but in the link its 58mm, what fits on it?
Does it have 720p video brainyfaceproject ?
Exelente video, saludos desde colombia
jhonhd sabes como se hace timelapse con esta camara., agradezco

Love the zoom is excellent

Hello I am not a professional photographer. Can you suggest me a good camra can use for home use and outdoor use
how to connect it to pc...? please reply
Thanks for the great review! Would recomend this one over the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS? The XS400 is out of my price range unfortunately
how do you put the camera in macro and shoot close ups?
The camera will detect proximity to an image and switch to macro mode--as long as you're not in manual focus mode. The camera won't do a perfect job, all the time--but it usually does a good job.

how does it records up to 30 minutes?
Great review video!. Does it have the option to select for Date/Time stamp (on the each photo or video)? and does the lens have Macro? something that allows you taking clear picture within around 4 inches distant from the lens?
In a full charging battery how much time full HD Recording possible?
great video, man!!! thanks! I own this camera and really is great!

Hamed Emine sorry to bother, how is that camera for night pics and videos? And how much was it?
Hello there, actually, it's perfect, it costed around 350e when I bought it, here is my album entirely made with it: facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.678981475483670.1073741835.100001154704949&type=1&l=0fee73df04
No, the HX300 has a fixed / non-interchangeable lens.
Where is RAW and JPEG settings?? What are the equivalents?? Help!!
Which one is good, canon eos1200d or sony dschx300? Need answers thank you

I like both cameras but prefer the 60fps video on the HX400. Low light is better on HX400. The SX50 is easier to carry and I like the way its screen flips around for protection while transporting it. With the peaking and GPS features the HX400 packs a little bit more of a punch.

Thank you for sharing.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

I was thinking of getting the p520 Nikon cause those have wide iso ranges for shooting in bad lit places. Tho i heard some distubing things about build quality and slow auto-focus. Any thoughts on this ?
Does it auto focus that nice when zoomed in onto the moon? or do you have do set some settings? i did the setting where u can zoom 200x but after 100x it turn bad graphic mode lol digital mode i think
