Set: Base
I've been using this camera for a couple of weeks and here's a list of what I've shot so far: Grass sprouts Landscapes Selfies Other people Food Stuff in the daytime Stuff at night A video of me making coffee Taking pictures: It's pretty easy and straight forward. It has two modes where the camera does pretty much everything for you. Superior Auto shoots a burst of photos and creates a composite of the images captured. It's pretty great if you're willing to hold the camera still for about two whole seconds for it to capture the scene. And I'm told it's best to use this mode in darker places to reduce noise, but I haven't tried that yet. I personally prefer the other mode, Intelligent Auto. This mode adjusts the settings according to the shooting conditions. It's quicker to get a picture in this mode while still automating a lot of the process in taking the picture. Other photo modes include: Scene Selection: Lets you pick one of the many preset for certain conditions so that things can be more predictable when you shoot. Gives you a little more control than the previous two modes. Memory Recall: Lets you create some presets that you can recall. Manual Exposure: Adjust aperture and shutter speed manually. I think this mode is meant to be used for long exposure photos. Shutter Priority: Adjust only the shutter speed manually. Aperture Priority:Adjust only the aperture manually. Program Auto: Sets both aperture and shutter speed automatically, while the other settings can be set manually. iSweep Panorama: Shoot a panorama picture. You can set the direction you want to sweep, so you can shoot horizontally or vertically. Taking videos: Videos are a whole other story with this camera. The first thing to talk about is the video quality when filming. It can capture in 1080p and 60 frames per second in three formats. The first format is MP4, which is the preferred format for YouTube. If you intend to shoot a video that will be uploaded directly up to YouTube, this is the video format to use. I shot a little YouTube video using the "AVCHD 60p 28M(PS)", which was the maximum setting for that video format. It looks good, but when I went to edit it, I can only export into MP4 or some other formats, so next time I'll just use MP4. I couldn't tell the difference anyway when I compared two videos in both formats. There's also the "XAVC S HD" video format, which is said to be suited for shooting movies, but apparently my SD card isn't good enough for it, so I have to wait for my new SDXC card to arrive. I probably won't need it. Another thing to keep in mind when filming with this camera is the 5-axis stabilization feature. Basically, it's a feature where the sensor in the camera is being mechanically stabilized, giving you no compromise in quality when shooting stabilized video. Most cameras handle this digitally by cropping the actual video and outputting an upscaled version of the cropped video. Depending on how much you shake, you can notice a huge drop in video quality if you use digital stabilization. This camera does not have that issue. An interesting this to keep in mind is that when the feature is on, you can notice the camera adjusting the sensor when you set the camera down, which creates this feeling like you're on a boat or something even though it's sitting on the counter or s sturdy surface. When it comes to audio, the stereo speakers are located on top of the camera. They're located in a way that makes it pretty impossible to stick fluff to, which is something I see a lot of people do to mitigate wind noises when shooting videos. It does have a feature `There's also no way, that I know of, to connect an external microphone, so that internal microphone is all you have. So far, I don't have any problems with it, but I also don't shoot videos where I talk and I haven't been to any concerts since I bought this. Other Features: The flash is hidden away inside of the camera until you hit a switch to pop it up. This means if you want to use the flash, you have to pop it up every time and also remember to push it back down when you're done with it. It sounds like a chore, but it could be a good thing. When you don't need it, you have the assurance that it won't go off when you shoot, because it's tucked away. The flash is located directly above the sensor, so the lighting it provides is pretty centered on the subject. Auto-focusing was kind of a pain to deal with. The only explanation I've found on how it works is that it auto-focuses on the nearest subject in the center of view. I can see it's pretty quick at auto-focusing, but I can't seem to figure out how to make it focus on what I want it to focus on. I guess I just need to do a lot more research on this. Transferring photos and videos off this camera is SUPER easy! I connected my phone (Sony Xperia XZ) via NFC and the QR code it provides and both of them work super quickly and the transfer starts right away. Usually takes about 3 seconds for an 18mp photo, which is about 4 MB. You do need to download the PlayMemories app on your phone. There's an OLED viewfinder that pops up and down. By default, it turns on the camera when it pops up and turns it off when you push it back down. You can turn that off in the setting. It has a proximity sensor that automatically turns on the screen in the viewfinder when you bring it close to your eye. I personally don't use this feature, because I have to get really close to it to set the sensor off and my nose ends up touching the screen below, which is gross in the Summer when I'm sweaty and the sweat gets on the screen. The flip up screen is amazing! It would automatically flip the image and the HUD. By default, when you flip up the screen and press the shutter button, it has a 3 second timer before taking the picture. You can turn that off in the settings. Also the camera has Smile-Shutter where it detects smiles would take a picture automatically. Another feature I find to be extremely useful, but haven't gotten around to using, is the facial registration. You can program the camera to recognize up to 8 faces and it uses these faces to prioritize autofocusing and the smile shutter. The feature I use the most, however, is the built-in level. This will help you keep your camera level in both landscape and portrait mode. It's very useful for panorama pictures and capturing video. Finally, there's a button in the bottom right corner of the camera with a question mark on it. This button gives you hints and explanations on pretty much every feature on the camera. Just go to any option or setting and press the button for help. It's been pretty helpful for me in troubleshooting and learning how to better utilize the many features. What I don't like: In order to record a video, you have to press the dedicated video button, which is the circular button on the top right corner with the label MOVIE above it. Even if you're in Movie mode, you have to press that button. This is an issue when you shoot a video of yourself, since you have to feel around and find that button to start and stop the video and it's VERY annoying. You can also use the PlayMemories app to remotely control your camera, but I don't like it. It kinda lags and there's almost no point in using it. You're better off buying a camera remote from Sony. Final thoughts: Even though I had issues with some of the things about the camera, most of those issues can pretty much be resolved with a little research and further experimentation. I'm not a professional photographer or a vlogger and my Xperia XZ can take better pictures and videos than this can, but it is a reliable camera with greater zoom capability (30x) and a lot of features to explore. It doesn't excel in any field, but it's also far from the worst in every field, so you end up with what can only be described as decent. I do plan to continue using this camera a lot more. I'd say if you're not a professional photographer or a vlogger, this is the best camera you can get for around $300. This is the camera you would buy if you want to step up your Instagram pictures and videos or just need to use something that's more natural to hold and use than your phone. I've done just that with a lot of my recent Instagram posts and I'd say this camera is doing a phenomenal job at that. I'd even go so far to say that this is the perfect small camera on the market in this price range. ... show more

  • One of the best 1/2.3 sensor point & shoot!
Set: Base
This is my fourth Sony product after my purchase of Sony a7s, RX100, and RX100III (wife's cam). I currently also have the Lumix GH4 as I like to take videos as much as photos. I bought the HX80 as a gift for my niece. I would recommend this to anyone who doesn't quite need the prosumer 1" sensor point and shoot or who wants the extra zoom capabilities that the larger sensors can't pack in such a small form. I will work backwards and start with the cons then the pros. Cons: * Smaller 1/2.3 sensor as opposed to 1" sensor (then again price is reflective of smaller sensor and the 1/2.3 sensor on the HX80 is back illuminated which makes it much nicer than other comparable sensors) * No 4k video * No manual zoom * No touchscreen Pros: * Pop up viewfinder * Flash that's semi-tiltable * Quick menu with 12 customizable functions * Full PASM modes for manual and semi-manual controls plus full auto modes if that's the preference * Monitor that tilts 180 degrees for selfies * 30X zoom fantastic for travelers * High quality XAVC S video format up to 50mbps at 24p, 30p, and 60p (requires SDXC memory cards) * PASM modes all available for video * Video manual mode has auto-iso option (not all cameras allow video auto-iso in manual; i.e. the much more expensive RX100 doesn't have this option) * 5-AXIS image stabilizer works great * WIFI/NFC included plus downloadable apps There are many more features that I could go on about this neat little point and shoot, just check out the spec sheets. At this price level, especially for those that like to shoot both photos and videos, the Sony HX80 in my opinion is one of the best 1/2.3 sensor pocket cameras. I hope you find this review helpful! ... show more

  • A truly compact ultrazoom camera
Set: Base
After years of faithful service, my Lumix ZS3 was on its last legs. Although petite (silver body in photos above), it packed a 12x zoom at a time when most cameras offered 3-5x. Today I was hoping for considerably more zoom, better photo and video quality. Based on many online reviews, the Lumix ZS200 is the new champ with a 20MP 1" sensor, 15x zoom and 4K video. However, it's also $650 - on sale! My camera takes a beating on my adventure vacations, so I'd rather not spend more than $300 on something that might die in a year or two. A bit more research revealed that the previous generation Lumix ZS70 had an even better zoom (30x), 4K video, 20MP but only a 1/2.3" sensor. Still the reviews indicated it was best-rated compact travel camera of that era, so I grabbed it on sale for CyberMonday. It is a beautiful camera featuring high-quality construction. The touchscreen is nice ans the menus are reasonably intuitive. The zoom is reasonably quick and the photo quality is excellent. However, in spite of many reviewers comments about it's compact nature, the camera is a brick. As you can see from the photos, the size has increased substantially over my old ZS3 to pack in all the new features. This is camera for a dedicated back or perhaps a jacket side pocket - not your breast pocket or pants pocket or pouch on your daypack. After much thought about how I use my camera, I sent it back. The next round of research landed me on the Sony DSC-HX80. This little beauty has the same sensor size and zoom as the Lumix but in a body the size of my old ZS3. True, I gave up the 4K video, touchscreen and a few other bells and whistles that I never had before and won't miss now. The size of the HX80 (middle camera above) is just right for fast and light travel. The zoom works well in conjunction with the image stabilization to produce great photos. Yes, the smaller sensor 1/2.3" sensor does limit the low light performance, but the same was true of the ZS70. If price is not object and you don't need the extra zoom, the Lumix ZS200 is the cream of the current crop. If you want a more affordable camera and are willing to trade off some bulk to get 4K video and a touchscreen, I found the ZS70 to be an excellent camera. However, if you want a truly pocketable camera for taking photos on the move in the great outdoors, the HX80 is my pick for a compact ultrazoom. ... show more

  • Love this little camera - viewfinder is a MUST HAVE!
Set: Base
Love this little camera. I have DSLR cameras - and I wanted a tiny camera to complement such - i.e. when out shooting nature with a DSLR and long lens - I would also like to have a little pocket camera to capture the near scene and scenery. This HX80 fits in the pocket of your trousers with a 30x zoom and a view-finder - and can take amazing shots. With the tiny small sensor in the HX80 - will photos be as clear as a DSLR with a $2000 lens? No. Of course not. But this camera for what is does - is genius. The electronic viewfinder is critical for the images that I will attach here. I was out bird watching with my SWAROVSKI binos - and spotted this iguana (St. Maarten) sunning itself on a dead snag far in the distance. Decided to try out my new HX80 to see what the zoom could do. Zoom is really good - but it would be worthless in this case without a view finder. See attached hand-held images for wide angle - and the 30x zoom on the iguana. The red arrow in the wide angle shows where the iguana is sunning itself. Highly recommend as a nice pocket point and shoot. ... show more

  • A Wonderful but Fragile Camera
Set: Base
The HX-80 is one of the best point-and-shoot cameras available today in terms of features: a pop-up flash, a separate pop-up view finder for taking pictures in bright light (where you can't see the LCD display), automatic lens cover, great photos, long optical zoom (30x), shirt pocket size, good video and sound equality, WIFI upload of photos and videos, etc. However, there are 2 huge negatives: 1) the camera is fragile. pieces of the case break off as the camera ages, the lens cover failed to close/open fully after some aging in one case and failed completely after a small impact on the camera face while in a shirt pocket. Also, the flash failed too after a while. 2). the camera cannot be repaired by mere mortals. I have tried replacing the LCD screen on one camera and the pop-up flash on another. No success with either using instructions from iFixit.com: too many undocumented screws and fasteners, many force-fit parts that must be carefully pried apart with special tools or the part will break. The camera was obviously not made to be repaired. ... show more

  • My third camera of this model
Set: Base
I use the camera for traveling and for my eBay pictures and it does the job with little fuss. I can either use an auto setting or can tweak it in many ways. They do eventually wear out and I have to replace them. I guess because they are still offered and still and still in the same price range, other people feel the same. It is a great, small point and shoot digital camera - not to replace a photographer's camera but great for someone who wants to be able to take great pictures on the run or while traveling. I like that this model has a pop=up viewfinder which solves the problem of sunny days and also a flash that you can control. Otherwise, it is pretty much the same camera so the learning curve is easy. ... show more

I have an SLR platform with 3 lenses and basically a backpack full of gear. I became frustrated that after seeing photos my teenaged daughter took with this small Sony camera, as on 5x7 or 8x10 sized prints, the photo quality of stills is basically the same as my SLR platform. We took off France with (3) Sony dschX80 cameras. It was GREAT not to have my “backpack” full of camera gear!! Photos were OUTSTANDING!! Camera size is great, fit in my front pocket or aftermarket small belt pack. Camera is simple to use and sync with phone is fantastic! Great pictures and videos, quick start up. Highly recommend. It does pretty well with action photos. ... show more
