5Review of The Sony HX300
By Thomas N. Wheeler
Over the years as a serious amateur photographer I have owned and used extensively Nikon and Hasselblad film cameras and lenses and when digital cameras arrived I began with the Nikon Coolpix 900 and 950, then DSLR's including the Canon EOS 10D, and today I am using a Canon 5D Mark II equipped with L lenses (Canon's premium glass). The Sony HX300 is my first super zoom camera, and as such I spent several hours after receiving the camera from Amazon on March 14 thoroughly reading and studying both the Sony pdf manual and the Sony User's Guide in html format. This was time well spent as there are many useful features on the HX300 that are not found even on my much more expensive Canon 5D Mark II. During this study with both manuals, I tried each feature in the quiet of my living room making sure I understood exactly how the feature worked and what it did. Only then did I set out to explore the performance of the Sony HX300 under "real world" conditions and to compare it to the Canon 5D Mark II under controlled conditions.The two most import things about any camera are its image quality and its performance in actual shooting sessions. Image quality is, of course, a combination of many things including the camera's ability to resolve detail, to properly expose scenes shot under a variety of lighting conditions, color quality, absence of both chroma and luminance noise, etc. Performance is how responsive the camera is and includes such items as how quickly the camera is ready to take a picture after being turned on, the time delay between shots in single shot mode, the ability of the camera's autofocus to work quickly and accurately without "searching", and certainly in the case of a super zoom camera its ability to smoothly and rapidly zoom through its entire set of focal lengths. For a camera of its price and likely use, the Sony HX300 does a remarkably good job of providing high quality images and a very responsive camera.My first test of image quality was to simply walk around my yard and the neighborhood taking images of a variety of flowers that were in early bloom as well as taking pictures of birds coming to the bird feeder in our backyard from about 75 feet away using the Sony HX300 at full zoom. In virtually every single situation the HX300's autofocus was very quick and very accurate, and the powered zoom using the lever on the shutter release was highly responsive and quite fast. The images produced had exquisite detail with good highlight detail retention, perfect color rendition, very good exposures in auto modes, and under these cloudy but bright daylight circumstances with the camera working at low ISO's very low noise. These images straight out of the camera with no post-processing looked very good to excellent. Using very small amounts of post processing mainly to slightly sharpen the images, I was able to obtain excellent large prints (13 X 19 in.) using my Epson 3800 Pro large format printer. The shots of birds on the feeder at the maximum optical zoom (1200 mm) of the HX300 were all hand held, in focus, and showed good detail, albeit not equal to the ISO 80 shots previously described. With one exception (vide infra), I had absolutely no problem hand-holding and autofocusing these 1200 mm maximum zoom shots. The one exception is when I happen to line up a tree in the shot that was about 50 feet behind the bird feeder. In that case, the HX300 always wanted to focus on the texture of the tree trunk behind the feeder. The feeder is plastic without high contrast. I was able to solve the problem completely by switching the focus mode from multi-autofocus to center auto-focus and placing the center focus frame in the EVF on the edge of the bird feeder where there was sufficient contrast for the focusing system to work properly. This initial collection of maximum zoom shots brought home an important lesson about super zoom lenses including the Carl Zeiss lens on the HX300. Remember that the HX300's lens has a maximum aperture of 6.3 at 1200 mm and therefore the ISO will be set at higher values (400-800) to provide a sufficiently fast shutter speed to allow the camera to be hand-held at such a zoom setting. Of course, the higher the ISO, the higher the visible chroma and luma noise in the captured image. I found that these outdoor shots at 1200 mm zoom on a cloudy but not overcast day came in at ISO 800 and a shutter speed of 1/160 - 1/250 sec. The maximum zoom shots were reasonably sharp, but benefitted from noise removal in post-processing which, of course, is always a compromise between detail and noise reduction. Nonetheless, these images gave quite good prints and beautiful images up to 11 X 14 in. I believe with experience I can hand-hold maximum zoom shots at shutter speeds even below 1/160 second and manually set ISO to 200 and achieve even better maximum zoom shots. I think it will be difficult and perhaps impossible to get good maximum zoom images with excellent detail on very cloudy and overcast days or in other low light level situations. The HX300 in such conditions will require ISO's higher than 800 in such situations for maximum zoom images and the result will be more image noise than I would find acceptable.My next photo expedition with the Sony HX300 had the objective of comparing image quality under controlled conditions (tripod mounted camera with timed release of the shutter to avoid vibrations that would lower image detail) of the HX300 with my Canon 5D Mark II and the 24-70 Canon L zoom lens as well as with the Canon 100-400 L lens. I went to a nearby park which has a lake that affords a 1.5 mile unobstructed view to a wooden bridge and homes across the lake. Lots of trees surrounding the lake provided added detail. It was a sunny bright day with no clouds in the sky. I shot a series of shots with the Sony HX300 in IQ mode and in Scene Select Landscape Mode at focal lengths ranging from 24 mm (maximum wide angle) to 1200 mm (maximum optical zoom). I matched the shooting conditions and scene with my Canon 5D Mark II on a tripod using the two L lenses up to the maximum 400 mm of the Canon L zoom lens. Upon arriving home and comparing the images, I was truly amazed at how well the Sony HX300 had performed. In fact, until I got to 100% image size (pixel peeping!), I was very hard pressed to see any difference in the detail or overall quality of these two cameras. I found this to be very surprising since the Sony system is $500 and the Canon 5D Mark II with its L lenses is in the $3500-$4500 range! At 100% image size I was definitely able to see a difference in the quality of the images and it always favored the Canon 5D Mark II which, not surprisingly, showed greater detail and less image noise than the HX300 especially when comparing the 400mm shots made by the two cameras. With that said, the difference is best described as noticeable but not overwhelming as I might have expected. I have shown these comparison images to several photographic friends and all have expressed amazement at how well the Sony HX300 image quality holds up in comparison to the much more expensive Canon equipment.While at the lake I also had the opportunity to try out the Sony on some real "action" situations. A blue heron flew past and landed about 150 yards from me. I was able to get some terrific shots at full 1200 mm optical zoom (ISO 125) that I have printed at 16X20 size. I had the opportunity to try the burst mode of 10 images on a group of ducks in flight. I found that it was going to take some additional practice to master the art of zooming, tracking, and setting off the shutter for pictures of this type, but the camera did track and focus fairly well on this difficult scene. In another instance, a bird was circling high over the water and I was able to zoom to 1200 mm and get a nice detailed shot.While at the lake, I had the opportunity to try out the movie mode of the HX300. I found that it tracked focus on my subjects beautifully, allowed me to smoothly zoom during movie making, recorded the sound nicely, and performed in every way in movie mode as well as I could have desired to produce excellent 1080i AVCHD movies.Just a few final comments. Build quality on the Sony HX300 is quite good. Yes, it is made of composite (plastic), but it feels solid, has a nice textured grip that makes the camera easy to hand hold, and is so wonderfully light compared to my Canon 5D Mark II. I was using a 32 GB ultra high speed San Disk SDHC card, and I had no problem taking single images rapidly in virtually any mode, and even the burst of 10 shots previously described were recorded to the card in about 5-7 seconds which seems quite acceptable to me.The HX300 is not a perfect camera (nor have I yet found one that is!), and here are some things that I would like to see changed. A button press is required to switch between the EVF and the LCD. On the older HX200 there was a sensor which automatically went to the EVF upon sensing the eye. I wish Sony had not removed this feature. The button turning on the EVF is flush with the camera body and quite small making it difficult to find by touch. The same is true for the Focus button, although the latter is only required when changing focus modes. Of course I would like to see a larger aperture than 6.3 when at full optical zoom, but this would likely require a much much larger lens with all the weight and expense that would entail.My bottom line is that if you are in the market for a super zoom camera and you understand that under low light situations you may not find the 1200 mm zoomed images to be acceptable in their level of detail and sharpness, then I would highly recommend the Sony HX300. If you are printing huge images (larger than 16X20), this is probably not the camera for you. If you want a camera that will be great for vacation pictures, pictures of the family, bird photography, wildlife photography, etc. and you are willing to invest some time to learn to properly utilize the camera, then the HX300 may well be the perfect camera for you.TomNote Added: I I have now posted the images referred to in the above review of the Sony HX300 including the comparison images with the Canon 5D Mark II on the dPreview.com Sony Cybershot Forum. The images, as per Forum requirements were posted at 1/2 the original image size. You can view the post at [...].

5A review for the less technologically inclined---Awesome Camera!
By Douglas W. McKeehen
A couple of things about me, and what I needed in a camera. First of all, while I have some basic understandings of how these kinds of cameras work, I am not a professional techie guy, and I usually have to look up every spec I read and usually end up not getting it entirely. I did do a lot of research, but the Camera Spec Snobs in some of the review sites just go to an extreme that will never, ever matter to me. Second, this camera was a replacement for my old bridge camera, a Sony DSC H-5 (12X optical, 7.2 megapixel). That camera served me well over the past 6 years, after thousands upon thousands of images. I bring this up because there have been a mountain of improvements on all technological fronts since then, which has resulted in an entirely and spectacularly different photographic experience I am having with this new camera after only a few days, and may explain my giddy five star love-fest I am having with this thing! I use my camera for everything from artistic photos to nature photography to family events, so I want a camera that shoots great, better than average pictures in a variety of circumstances over a specialized camera that takes outstanding pictures in limited circumstances.Unlike many other reviewers (but most probably like the majority of shoppers), I do not own several high end cameras and am therefore not going to be comparing this one to my other high end camera that I bought last year. So, in my comparison, all I can say is if you have an older bridge camera that seems to be losing a bit of steam and you are looking to replace it, look no further. You don't have to spend hours fretting over this spec and that, when you get this camera and take a few pictures you will feel like you did as a kid when you replaced that brownie camera with your first 35mm! The improvements made over that past half decade make the experience like night and day!Every problem that I had with my old one is gone (or at least vastly improved) with this new one. That purply fringe line you sometimes got on the edges of your subject, or that white glare that seemed almost neon in brightness on a sunny day? Gone. That problem with focusing on a fast moving object? Gone. The blurry images from moving objects in anything but bright sunlight? Vastly improved. The issue of losing all definition of dark areas if anything was remotely back-lit? There is a setting called HDR on this camera that makes it possible to take those pictures you just didn't even bother trying before. That problem with taking indoor shots without flash where the quality was so low you never shared the pictures with anyone? Oh my God, what a difference.Like my old camera, this one has a fully automatic setting, settings that allow you to over-ride some of the auto settings and others to completely over-ride the auto settings. It also has a large variety of other specialized settings, like "pet" or "portrait" that adjusts things for certain scenarios. In the cases of "landscape", "hdr", and "background de-focus", the camera's auto setting seems to do this for you. The macro setting is also automatic, coming on when your lens gets close enough. Over time, I will learn all these new settings, because I know that sometimes, the auto setting will misread the situation and I will want to be able to adjust. However, I am really impressed with this cameras ability to auto adjust well.The quality of my pictures are stunning. If I crop in to a ridiculous, unreal point and compare it to a picture taken by a $2000.00 DSLR, would I notice a difference in crispness? Probably, but I will leave that debate to the spec snobs. While they are busy fretting over such things, I will be in the mountains taking awesome pictures of my grandkids in the snow, and enjoying my camera. Color, composition, saturation, detail, contrast, etc. are all outstanding with this camera. Details that my older camera could not pick up just stand out like crazy with this one. The camera is not magic, my black lab running in the white snow on a back-lit landscape still comes out as just a pure black shadow, but in less extreme situations, this camera is doing an awesome job.And that crazy, insane 50X lens! First off, on the wide end, 24mm is much wider than my old 36mm and the difference is phenomenal. But when you go off the other end, I just cannot describe what happens. I have pictures of a building on a hill where you can see people on a deck, then you zoom out and that building is just the tiniest spec on your picture. I love birds, and am really looking forward to taking this out and getting details I never could before.Played a bit with the video, and frankly I have a lot of homework to do on it. One thing I did notice though, is that the anti-shake technology on this camera made some of my video shots look like a pro took them with a tripod.Bottom line, this camera is awesome. I have three situations where I took a picture and was stunned by the results. 1. A pigeon flew quickly over my head in a blue sky. The camera was on auto. I whipped around, got the bird in the frame, zoomed in a bit, and held the button half-way down to focus. The auto focus caught the bird quickly, and then the bird was instantly tracked by the auto focus. I took the picture, and the bird had no movement or blur in the photo. This was all done in under a couple seconds. 2. At around 5 pm, with the sun setting behind it, I took a picture of a mountain during a trip in the Cascades. The mountain had some snow, and some dark patches where there were trees and/or rocks. This photo would have been impossible in the past. Camera was on auto, and it immediately went into the "HDR" setting. (Read about this if you do not know what it is, I recommend making it a "need" spec to shop for.) The photo showed all the detail of the mountain instead of my usual too dark mountain that I would have got in the past. 3. I tested the camera in low light indoor settings, against my old camera. WOW! Where my old camera could only take an almost black dark shadow picture, this one picked everything up. I am talking at a light level far below what you would see in a family gathering, and I can hardly WAIT for the next time our family gets together!Did I mention that awesome, sick, crazy zoom?I love this camera!

4Comprehensive review of Sony DSC-HX300
By PhotoGraphics
Despite being a professional photographer I have a variety of point-and-shoot pocket cameras for family events, vacations and just having fun and I will let you know right now nothing included in my review will be techie, just real-life things that can help you decide if this is the camera for you.Recently, adding to my collection of little pocket cameras, I acquired an Olympus XZ-1 in an attempt to get better results than I've previously experienced with low-end pocket cameras and it does an admirable job while still remaining portable. The DSC-HX300 is not pocketable, it is what is known as a "bridge" camera. I've generally thought of bridge cameras (SLR-like with non-detachable zoom lenses) as a compromise ... almost as large and heavy as a real DSLR, lacking the versatility of swappable lenses, tiny sensor, mediocre lens and much too automated. But I do realize that all consumer-grade cameras just keep getting better and better and if you read on you will hopefully get some insight about the capabilities of the Sony HX300 and how it compares to state-of-the-art.This is the first Sony-brand camera that I've owned, although I did early development work with them regarding the original Mavica digital cameras. I respect their ability to design and manufacturer most of their components in-house, especially after they acquired the photographic experience of Konica/Minolta. The DSC HX300 can safely be called a "premium" bridge camera as it reigns with only a couple of other similar cameras in worthwhile features.As I said, I'll avoid getting techie in this review; there are well-established resources for that. Nor will I republish the specs which can be found at the Sony website or compare a consumer-grade camera with a $5000 professional DSLR. Just a real-life user report that I hope will help you decide if this model is what you're looking for.WHO WOULD BUY THIS CAMERA?Likely the #1 reason someone might choose the DSC HX300 is the astonishing zoom range of 24mm - 1200mm (35mm equivalent). Even with a pro DSLR a zoom of that magnitude would not be something you would use handheld and you certainly wouldn't want to take a DSLR fitted with a 1000mm lens on a family outing to Disneyland. For all of its extreme zoom power, the overall camera weighs lighter than an entry-level Canon or Nikon DSLR with a stock 18mm - 55mm lens attached. Because the camera is much larger and heavier than a compact pocket camera and less enabled than a DSLR this is probably not going to be your one and only camera, however the HX300 defines why bridge cameras exist and for most people would certainly be well suited as an all-in-one still/video camera for that Disneyland trip. At its price and relative sophistication of controls the average user will probably use it to take to sporting events and other such applications where an extreme zoom lens is important. That describes how I will use it, I doubt it will ever be a "take everywhere" camera to me.A very likely target audience for a camera with a zoom of such range would be those with a love of birding, and well they should, the zoom range is quite mindboggling. The best analogy would be to compare the results to using a fine pair of Monarch model binoculars for birding compared with a decent low price pair. With the lower-priced scope you will certainly see the bird and be able to recognize it but the image will lack crispness and richness of color. The HX300 isn't a bad choice for birding, one should simply be aware that the image may fall short of the glory of detail a quality pair of binoculars can deliver.FEATURES AND CONSTRUCTION:The camera makes good use of the plastic construction, feeling solid in the hand but not fragile. The second best feature, in my opinion, is the large ring around the lens which is the perfect place to place your hand to steady shots being taken at long zoom ranges. That ring can be used to manually zoom the lens (much better than using a tiny rocker switch on the camera body, although the DSC HX300 has one of those too if you prefer). By flicking a large switch, which is placed in exactly the right location for your left thumb, the ring can be turned into a manual focus ring. That combo on a camera of this type is absolutely brilliant. Well done, Sony! But DON'T expect that ring to have the exact feel to it that any DSLR has ... it is a "fly by wire" type, which means turning the ring simply activates a motor that controls the zoom or focus function. There is significant lag before the command is received and executed and not a lot of precision. Once you get used to it, the benefit of having the zoom/focus ring on the lens makes you promise you would never want to give it up.The camera has both a large 3" high-resolution articulated (up/down)LCD on the back and a decent electronic viewfinder (EVF) that is bright and sharp. I suspect when zooming in tightly on something most users would prefer to use the EVF so they can brace the camera against their face. The EFV also makes it quite a bit easier to follow action sports. I have seen a few comments bemoaning the fact that Sony dropped the eye-sensor switch that the predecessor model had in favor of a manual button to switch between the two viewfinders. Personally I prefer to make that choice manually ... there are circumstances when I like to be a bit discreet and not make people nervous when I photograph them, and the eye-sensor switch turns on the huge 3" screen every time I move the camera slightly from my eye, which is hardly discreet. Note also that the EVF offers something few compact point & shoot cameras have anymore, the ability to shoot in very bright sunlight. As good as rear LCD's have gotten, even the best have trouble in bright direct sunlight. The HX300 doesn't leave any option lacking ... you can hold it to your eye in difficult lighting conditions, you can use the 3" LCD for more casual shooting and you can tilt that screen both up and down, which offers great versatility. As someone who has tried several cameras with auto eye sensors, I conclude that it can be VERY frustrating if you move your eye away for a split second just before a critical shot and the EVF goes dark. I would much rather know EXACTLY which viewfinder that I have chosen to use and that it will remain that viewfinder until I choose a different option.Although much of the hype concerns the 1200mm tele range of the lens the wide end goes to 24mm which is almost as miraculous AND it opens to f:2.8, unbelievable for such a lens. The camera sets high expectations for itself and bottom line does the lens deliver?PERFORMANCE:Here's the part that most readers are looking for ... how well does it perform? Quite well, despite self-imposed limitations. Sony may be trying to do too much with its tiny P&S sensor, at even low ISO it suffers from heavy-handed processing artifacts that make photos look acceptable to the average eye, but will fall to pieces if enlarged too much. To their credit, Sony tries really hard to keep that ISO on fully automatic modes down near that 80 ISO level. There is no raw capture, and there should be at a $500 price point. Overexposure can be an issue (although there is a pretty cool and simplistic way of "choosing" what exposure looks good to you. And the camera won't always choose to use acceptable shutter speeds with auto ISO as your setting. While I still can't imagine why I would want to shoot handheld at 1200mm and expect a decent photograph, I no longer have to imagine it ... it's just too good to be true. You get what you should expect ... something marginal at best at 1200mm that can suffice in an extreme pinch. The lens is probably capable of topping out at about 250mm at the most to deliver what most people would agree could be called a "sharp" picture. 50x sounds great on paper, but take that paper and write down how many times you think you will actually need it and you may be surprised how unrealistic that spec is.And now we reach the vital question, how good are the pictures? Well, we have come to expect the best possible performance of digital cameras, no matter the brand or design, as being their best at below 100 ISO, acceptable up to 800 ISO and marginal beyond that. Unfortunately, the HX-300 at 80 ISO the JPEG images are strewn with processing artifacts in the form of grainy structures, while edges are smeared rather than crisp and abundant with chromatic aberrations. What does this mean to anyone shooting pics of the family on a fun weekend? What I said isn't as bad as it sounds, only that the overall image lacks the clean and clear quality one expects from a camera in its price range, BUT I have to quickly add that when you consider all of the compromises Sony had to made to stuff all of the features they did into the HX300, if you're disappointed in the limitations then this may be the time you migrate to a basic DSLR instead.BATTERY LIFE:Modern camera are required to do so much, especially to power huge LCD screen, motorized zooms and sometimes WiFi and/or GPS that sometimes it's hard to get through a full day on a battery charge. To compound the issue, batteries are getting tinier and tinier. After receiving the camera and giving it an initial charge, at the time of writing this over a week has passed with me taking at least 10 - 15 shots a day and some random movie clips (plus I've spent a lot of time navigating through the menus just to learn what's there). After all that, the battery meter shows over 50% life left. I'll update after an extended period of use but the initial results are very impressive.DOWNSIDES?There are not many things in the minus column that should discourage someone from choosing this camera if the specs and features fit their needs, however there are a couple of quirks that, once you use the camera, will seem odd. Sony does a great job for a point & shoot of not forcing you to dig deep into menus to change important shooting functions, the mode dial can handle most of them without even taking your eye from the viewfinder. However, this is a camera that begs to be used at sporting events, considering its zoom range and ease of shooting fast action. So one would expect the Sports mode to be one of the mode dial functions, right? No, instead to reach it you must choose the Scene mode, then use the rear jog dial to select it. Where you would expect to find the Sports mode you will find instead a 3D Still Mode, something that may be nice to have but certainly not something the typical person would use often, if at all since it only works effectively on certain Sony TV models. By the way, that rear jog dial is a gem. It is context sensitive and depending on your shooting mode, controls all of the most important secondary functions like ISO, shutter speed, F value and EV and select them by pressing in on the dial. Another "tiny" negative might be that at the default setting the viewfinder/rear screen is jam-packed with useful but ever-changing data. There are 4 user choices how you want the information displayed but none of them are what I would consider perfect. For example, why Sony, would you not let the user keep the horizon level on no matter what other mode is chosen?COMPARISONS:Okay, let's say you want to use this camera as your everyday point & shoot, how does it stack up to a moderately prices DSLR (I know, there isn't a real comparison between it and any DSLR, but let's assume you're comparing value for the price) and a moderately priced compact camera (not a cheapie, but one that is currently selling for under $300 - $500 at the time of this review). Bottom line: As is clear from the note above my review, this camera was provided to me for evaluation, which is true with many camera review sites. My reviews are always based on personal knowledge and experience and I feel I have reviewed it fairly. I have no relationship nor interest in Sony and as stated earlier, this is the first Sony camera I have owned. I am not married to any brand, having used virtually every professional brand, and most consumer brands. Remember, a camera is only a tool. It is not capable of making you a great photographer. Specs don't make photographs, creativity does. Use what you research as a guideline, and then choose the camera that best suits what you want to do.That being said, is this the best camera ever? Should it be your only camera? Probably no on both counts, I classify it as a specialty camera and once you learn its capabilities and also its limitations, you will find it is truly a bridge camera that is worth owning.SUMMARY:So in summary, the zoom range is what makes this camera special. Putting aside pretensions that most people will actually use the more advanced modes (I think not) the automatic Point & Shoot modes define some of the most advanced camera technology currently available. If you only owned one camera and only used it in one of the Scene or Auto modes you would have to work hard to produce a bad photo. If you venture into the more advanced modes and aren't what they call a pixel peeper, you could declare this your "do everything" camera. And if you have the means to afford a $5000 DSLR and also a pocketable camera you may still do well considering the HX300 because, quite frankly, it's really kinda fun to shoot with.[UPDATE] I accidentally bumped the lens against the edge of a piece of plastic sporting equipment yesterday, fortunately no damage only a smudge that could be removed with a lens cloth. Five minutes later I ordered a Hoya 55mm HMC UV Digital Slim Frame Multi-Coated Glass Filter from Amazon which was delivered next day, it was on sale for under 9 bucks. It fits perfectly (and the lens cap also fits perfectly on it). Follow the link to my review. It is dirt cheap insurance to protect that large exposed Zeiss lens.
