Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX80 Digital Camera

I picked one of these up at a bargain price and certainly for what I paid, I am pleased It is a miniature marvel with a very useable popo up EVF which will also turn the camera on when raised, a neat trick, the EVF has to be raised (a pop up release) and then pulled out towards you to get the evf in...

Some features are more complicated than I'd like (my 35 mm Nikon SLR film camera was preferred, back on the day) but this takes very good quality pics. The capabilities are well-beyond a basic point and shoot. Just wish the learning curve wasn't so steep for me

it is a very very good camera.... Most expensive camera I have ever bought but it was worth it

The screen on these cameras is great so you can take more selfies without some dumb selfie stick. The clarity and resolution is also really great. Takes great photos and is small so it packs easily.

I bought this camera for my wife after reading the reviews and forum. This camera has been a HUGE disappointment. The photos are almost always out of focus and only come out clear if you are rock solid. I was hoping for a point and shoot for my wife that would replace here Canon sure shot.

This is a great camera to stuff in your coat pocket and retrieve easily to take fantastic pictures. The supper automatic setting is almost all one needs, but our trip to the Grand Canyon begged for the use of the Panorama and Scene (Landscape) settings. It proved to be just what one needed!

The optical zoom is amazing, 30x that fits in the pocket. The only reason I'd say 4 out of 5 stars instead of full 5 is the no-flash low light shots seem a bit noisy, especially compared to the iPhone 7 camera.

I have used this far more than its expensive brother (RX 100 MIII) because of the zoom. We took this to the Galapagos and it took excellent pictures.

After reading the previous post I decided I would write up my experience with the DSC-HX80 I bought last spring. I had about 4 Sony compacts from 1999-2015. My last one was a DSC-W100 that I used extensively for work and personal back before 2010. Then I bought my first Nikon DSLR.

This is the third Sony point and shoot camera i have purchased. Each one gets better and better. My husband likes to carry a big SLR camera, but I love the convenience of keeping this camera in my pocket for when I need it.
