![Sony DSC-HX400V 50X Zoom Camera Review [HD]](/img/n.gif)
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,
This review is the best one of I've seen. I've already seen credible sources praise this camera. I'm picking it up in 2 days.
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!
Lovely camera and easy to operate after reading through the reviews. Kudos Sony
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
Dude best camera review ever ! I own this dsc hx300 camera ! and the dsc h400 and dsc h300 ! they are all awesome camera's ! GREAT REVIEW !
Good review. I bought one yesterday. You and TheDigitalDigest convinced me.
Oh, and get that kid a scholarship!
Thanks. Yes, I am glad they removed the sensor to switch back and forth between the finder and LCD.
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.
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
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.
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
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..
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!
Well, that does it. I am upgrading from the HX-100V. In just a few minutes I will place my order!
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....
Thanks for putting up this review. I am consider getting this camera. I do own a HX200.
great review... I bought this camera... I'm so excited and although I am a novice..I can't wait to ''have at it'''... thanks!
Well done! I really want this camera for the zoom and the video. You answered my questions.
Very informative review. Everything i wanted to know and well explained. thank you
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.
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
Love the zoom is excellent
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.
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
Buying this today. Very nice review. 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.
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?
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 !
Thanks for the great review! Would recomend this one over the Canon PowerShot SX50 HS? The XS400 is out of my price range unfortunately
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 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.
So the uv lens cap is 55mm but in the link its 58mm, what fits on it?
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?
I'm buying this one. Thanks mate. Ur review made me buy it. Love you.
i want to make videos while seeing myself through the screen but i dont know how to switch camera what do i do?
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
Can you install an external screen on it so you can see your own for instance when you're vlogging?
Is there much difference between the DSC-H300 and the DSC-HX300 ?
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 ?
terrific review, I bought one 5 hours ago!
In a full charging battery how much time full HD Recording possible?
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?
OMG i almost died when you zoomed on the moon at 9:03 Thank you soo much for uploading! ;)
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.
also it has the effect of blurring when recording a video ???
Hola amigo. Quisiera saber tu opinión. Ya que tengo la posibilidad de comprarme esta cámara, pero me entró la duda porque con un precio muy parecido al que tiene esta puedo conseguir la Nikon d3100 Reflex. Mi problema surge en que la Nikon trae apenas 14,2MP y la Sony (que es compacta) trae 20,4MP y mayor zoom. Que me aconsejarías vos?? Sería de gran ayuda la opinión de alguien que conozca ambas cámaras. Saludos.
Hey man, I like your video but I have a doubt in Amazon the Sony dsc hx300 is of 35x optical zoom not 50x! Could you please help me out with this!?
Very nice Camera I bought a new one .
It has incredible zoom .......
wow..what a video review...
bought the camera today and it's nice.
They're available on the site, now.
Does this camera shoot in raw?
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)
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
Thank you for the informative video. Great examples.
Does it have 720p video brainyfaceproject ?
Is it better than the Nikon Coolpix P520 or the Canon Canon SX50HS? Thanks.
I concider purchasing Hx200 instead of 300 just because i cant be without the sensor. I have an "65 also and the sensor is awsome. I sold my Hx100 wich i already miss.
Where is RAW and JPEG settings?? What are the equivalents?? Help!!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
is there a 3.5mm jack for a wired lav mic? i got a really good price for this camera
Is sony hx300 will detect audio while taking video?

how does it records up to 30 minutes?
Which one is good, canon eos1200d or sony dschx300? Need answers thank you
BTW hate the way now Sony has you charge only via USB - I got a aftermarket battery charger and extra batteries for my RX100 so I could use to charge the HX300 battery :)
Sorry but I haven't found any link to your site. What is it?
you can change the lens.????
Can you please upload the panoramas?
who is the best zoom in 50x or 100x tell me about
Does this come with a disc ? Please answer asap (:
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. 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.
Good, just bought one today in amazon flash deal.
What camera / equipment would you suggest i use to record the sun?thnxs for the help.
it doesnt have to be able to point directly at the sun, but close to it.
