Product Reviews

Not at all pleased with the camera, as it will not connect to wifi and my smartphone!

I bought this camera in May 2018 to replace my previous Sony Cybershot camera that I had for 11 years & had been very pleased with. It takes really good , clear pictures and videos. The zoom function is very good. The camera is a good value for money for a family camera. Highly recommended .

I bought this camera just prior to a trip to the Falkland Islands over the last 10 days. The camera was ideal for what I wanted. It is small enough to carry in my pocket, but has a 30x optical zoom which is great for taking distant pictures of wildlife and scenery. The clarity is excellent in bright sunny weather, however slightly less so when using the zoom in duller weather and low light. As I've only recently bought the camera, I've not tried many of it's features yet. Overall, a great point and shoot camera, at a good price.

amazing photos due to the many creative features, and a 30x zoom, wow

I bought this to replace an Olympus camera which had broken after 10 years service. the Sony is a better camera than the Olympus.

Having used this camera for some time I find that it is the ideal camera if you want control over what you do but without the complications of a larger, heavier, full blown DSLR. This camera is very capable of producing excellent results without really trying!!

Bought this recently having researched online and whilst some or the results have been good found it a huge disappointment when trying to share/upload my pictures. A pop-up flash is also a bit of a downer as it defeats the purpose of having an auto-flash function.

Used the camera on our holiday and we are really pleased with the ease of use and picture quality even in zoom mode however was not aware that it has no built in flash this was a big dissapointment

Bought 2 days before going on holiday and it was so easy to use intuitively. Loved the Intelligent auto setting and movie feature. Captured so many memories without having to "think about settings. Thanks Sony

Pleased with the camera so far, have not had the opportunity to try any night time photography or indoor stuff. This will be useful at a wedding shortly.Pictures and enlargements much clearer than my previous camera.So handy to have in your pocket.

Extremely difficult to take pictures in bright sunlight on the coast. Trying to see items out on the sea using the fantastic zoom lens is almost impossible. If a viewfinder was fitted as standard this would be a great camera, but without a viewfinder, taking pictures on a bright sunny day is very very difficult.

Bought as a replacement for a compact camera which suffered terminal lens failure - hoping the slightly larger size of the Sony will mean a longer life for the camera. One problem so far has been that the battery / card compartment cover keeps releasing.

Not quite as good as I’d hoped. Slow start up is annoying and a fault with the pop up flash has just developed - the camera is only 8 months old and not heavily used.

Had my camera a few months now love it only thing thats frustrating is sony app and trying to use camera with phone or wi fi connect even had a tech guy try .

The camera was purchased due to the zoom and additional features. Have just taken it on holiday and found it easy to use and easy to charge. At present only using it on the automatic settings until I get more experienced with it. The only problem encountered is the position of the movie mode button being so close to the additional grip area. Have found myself taking videos when I wanted to take a photograph.

Camera is very good and intuitive. My only problem with it is that the battery/memory card cover keeps swinging open when in use. Otherwise impressive quality.

what an amazing camera especially for the price, however i do have an issue with the flash which i will need a repair on however the camera is excellent, with some great features

I have owned this for over 3 years and have never been disappointed by the quality and ease of use

I am absolutely delighted with my camera, I thought I would have to pay a great deal more this quality and outstanding range of features

An updated proven camera, easy to use with excellent photographs

I have had the camera a week. I have treated as gentle as possible. And the screen is still scratch it should have a screen protector fitted as standard. When taking photos in bright sunlight you need the screen on maximum brightness

I bought this camera recently. It has a great number of options for taking photos. There are two Intelligent Auto modes plus shutter priority, aperture priority, program and manual. Shutter and aperture settings are simple to alter. Photos are well saturated colour and the lens produces good, sharp images. You can transfer photos very easily. I have just used the wi-fi capability to transfer photos to my tablet. This is wonderfully equipped camera which is so compact and portable, I'm really looking forward to getting out and about this year.

It is very good, but have not learnt all the benefits of it yet. Sadly it is to replace my Samsung galaxy K which they no longer produce.

I can not get the camera to link to my iphone. Have followed the instructions but it won’t connect to the app. Tried with my iPad and my husbands android but no luck. I’ve asked several people for help including a BBC camera man but nobody can solve the problem.

Since recently buying this camera, we are still getting used to using all the key features

Already got the Sony cyber shot 20X zoom, treated myself to HX60 30x zoom. The differance is unbelievable. Both cameras are so easy to use and l would recommend them.

I was bought the camera for Christmas as I wanted a camera that I could connect to my iphone. First of all I managed to connect it but it took some time but now it is not compatible with the new OS update on my phone. I now have a camera that I cannot connect to my phone until drivers are updated!

Lots of unpleasant surprises compared to my last pocket camera - so many icons and dials, couldn't find the manual on-line for a while, downloading awful - have to use a program I've no interest in, no SD card included. Perhaps in time I may grow to like it - should have bought from a shop with help, not online.

This compact camera pretty much does everything. It has a great zoom, and of course it takes decent pictures. A little heavier than expected however. Has complex menu built in for many options or best of all the auto function. With the shape of the lens being protrusive makes getting a good camera case a bit trickier. Camera looks good.. I previously owned a predecessor to this model but having moved up, really for the zoom and improvements, I can say in my opinion it was worthwhile. Rapid bursts and slower fast bursts allow moving target to be captured with more ease

I am just developing my photographic interest and this camera is ideal without spending too much money to start with.

I thought my previous camera (not Sony)was so good, but they had stopped making them so I couldn't replace like-for-like. I searched online and then instore and found this Sony camera. I'm very impressed. All the features of my previous camera, plus more! So pleased I bought it.

Given to me as a gift, isn’t quite point and shoot, you need to get to grips with all the built in features and the manual adjustments you can make requires some knowledge of how to frame and take photos under differing conditions, but all in all I like it.

I purched this as a replacement for an older model and was very satisfied with the camera much improved on my old model

I bought this camera to take on holiday to Sri Lanka and Dubai. Brilliant it made me look like a pro. Even had 4 photo's enlaged on canvas for the hall, a first.

Brilliant, it fits in my trousers pocket without being too obvious or bulky. I've only used it once - an evening indoor event I attended - and I can't say I'm too impressed with its low-light capability without flash. That said, video wasn't bad. There is no way this can be a replacement for a dedicated DSLR but as a backup for travelling it ticks most of the boxes.

Fine camera slightly let down by its inability to display its settings in bright sunlight. Level 2 does not solve the problem

Great quality camera, which takes brilliant photos and video. My only criticisms are that it feels a little bit clumsy in your hands and its quite difficult to use in bright sunlight. If the sun is shining on the led screen it is very difficult to see and the camera has no viewfinder as a backup.

Great compact camera zoom is very good but having problems connecting to phone.

I bought this product a few weeks ago as I wanted a compact camera with a good reputation.I always buy Sony products and I am very happy with my purchase

Really easy to use. Has lots of features. Connecting to phone or computer so easily makes organising photos so much easier than my previous camera.

Excellent Camera and easy to use with great results

Only negative is that you have to manually pop the flash up

I bought this camera six months ago, I am happy with it. I recommend this camera to othersss!!!

Bought this the 60v second hand for less than £130! The purchase was my alternative to buying the iPhone X! I have a 6 plus and after analysing my needs (a better camera than that on the 6+ AND ON THE IPHONE X!) it was a no brainer. This has certainly proved to be the case although the interface of operation requires a learning curve to discover and learn the many features. Mind you the large screen is missed especially without a viewfinder. However it does go in my opposite pocket to the iPhone on my regular forays. The HX60v is also operable from my iPhone I just need to take on board how to make best use of this facility. Closeups of my bird table with me sat in the house seems a good place to start.

really pleased with performanceand photo quality of images
