Product Reviews

It's difficult to see the screen on a bright day even in moderate shade. The GPS works very well.

Appears well designed and works quite well where pre-set. But disappoints in some respects. E.g. I would expect 'aperture priority' set at 5.6 to improve depth of field. But it only vastly increases ISO and shutter speed and does not produce as good a picture as 'intelligent auto'. Similarly 'manual exposure' produces unexpected apertures and ISOs. Your comments would interest me?

Only had it a few week, so just getting used to all the settings, so far so good.

Only had the camera a couple of weeks but has worked well mainly as a point and shoot but plenty of features still to explore and has a very good soon with good stabilization

I got this to carry about with me when out walking, am quite pleased with it all..

The pictures have a good quality. Its all I wanted.

This is a great little camera and extremely quick to learn how to use. I'm a beginner at cameras and all the different features but the handy descriptions of the different features really helped. It produces some excellent photos too

This is a brilliant little camera with a very good zoom. It takes great photos & I thoroughly recommend it.

Great features. The option to send pics directly to your phone is easy and quick. The different picture options are great and when you pic e.g. landscape the camera gives u tips on best way to frame the pic.

Having used a sony digital camera before I was up and running straight out of the box. This camera has a huge range of facilities and I am slowly learning how to get the most out of it. High quality device takes brilliant photos

Having owned a nikon d3300 previously I have found that the hx60v has a similar technical capability but in everyday circumstances it is far easier to use

My husband brought this for my birthday i have so far found it fairly easy to use and am pleased with the results the build quality is very good and battery life ok the only downside i have at moment is when using wifi connection it is a little slow may be due to my broadband speed won't know till away from home.

Excellent quality in both photographs & video. Zoom facility fantanstic for such a small camera. Easy to use though still a lot of settings to try out. Totally recomend it!

I purchased this Camera three weeks ago after researching it and others about the same price, without doubt the HX60V came out tops.

It has taken me a little time and a second visit to the shop to get to grips with the GPS but it OK now. One thing I have noticed, when holding the camera, I automatically put my finger over the flash mechanism.

I love this camera, it does everything i needed to do including recording. Its small and easy to hold. Great purchase.

I like the sharpness of my pictures and the shutter action.

Just before Xmas I broke a small camera that I'd had for ages, didn't think I could get one as good but I purchased this camera and wow it is so good, the zoom is terrific, the photographs are clear, and I just love it and I'd highly recommend anyone to give it a try. If there is one criticism, it is a little bit heavy for a small camera but saying that it is a minor negative point.

I bought this camera to go on holiday to Cuba and I needed something with a good zoom and that was compact. Also, I had successfully used and earlier model. I took the camera out of my rucksack on leaving Havana airport and it wouldn't focus. It was working prior to departure. During the holiday I managed 2 days when it did work, but most of the time it was a disaster. Overall, it wrecked my once in a lifetime photo opportunity in Cuba.

I am still a relatively naive user have only had the camera for two weeks but: 1. View of the display screen is very difficult in bright light. 2. Selection of a small point of focus for macro work is not easy and not particularly useful. Closest focusing distance is around 2 m.

Good little camera great zoom .didn't know there were so many features on it till I downloaded the manual the booklet that comes with it just give you the basics

This is my 3 rd Sony camera.Previous to this I had the DSC=WX1 SDPW SER NO. 8657892. This was a class act and given me many years of service. Go to my Facebook page to see pictures as they will all have been taken with these. The only reason I have exchanged it is when I use the lense fully open there are 2 black dots on the inside of the lense? My new camera is too early to give an opinion as I used it for the first time last weekend. I will say my early thoughts are mixed. The battery compartment if you catch it opens too easily. I made a video in a dark area and was not sure wether I should have had the flash on? Tried to find out online but cannot seem to find the answer. I will be pleased in a few months time to offer more of my new camera experience. Regards.

My HX50 has given up and needed replacement, whilst it worked I loved it. I am satisfied with the HX60 which I paid far less for and hope it does not go wrong as the HX50 has. It is excellent to carry about with VG results.

There are plenty of options, but a sophisticated machine. It was misunderstanding. The sales operator sold me the HX60, which is without a GPS function. I returned the camera to the seller and did not have much time to try out all the options.

Bought as a Christmas present this year and has some fabulous features which I'm looking forward to trying out. Brilliant zoom function, compact and easy to use and a worthy upgrade from my old camera.

A compact camera. Many features still to explore. However after bought and after reading all the instruction on enclosed leaflet disappointed to find out that I cannot link to my iPad

Delighted. An all round piece of kit which does what it says on the box .

This was bought to replace a DSC-HX20V. Several new features, but I don't understand why the flash now does not pop up automatically, even though automatic flash can be selected. This seems a backward step. However, it has excellent low light performance ,great zoom and good picture quality

Very good quality, takes brilliant photos, would definitely recommend

Sound increased capability after relying on phone ubiquity. Thanks Sony/argos

Great camera but I had a stroke all down the right side of my body, I couldnt take a photo my left haft was like a spider all over the camera trying to hold it properly it failed

I like the remote control function. Easy to connect to the mobile.

I carefully sought out users' as well as 'technical reviews' opinions about this camera and believed it was the best available camera at this price point, if not without some faults. I like its extraordinary zoom range, clear and accurate images and generally reliable focusing, even at full zoom. It has a useful range of features common with this kind of camera and is relatively portable and light. The drawbacks are fairly standard for this kind of camera, i.e. much poorer quality imaging in low light conditions, not very able flash and inability to use the digital imaging device for 'selfies'. Generally pleased with camera and I believe it represents good value.

I had this beauty for three years and it worked great. I love it and I miss it though it broke just at the end of the warranty. A piece of the card reader fell off. It's a beautiful camera though. I would buy it again. I was given an upgraded one. This camera was the best one I ever had.

Very pleased with this little camera, although i have a smart phone this is better for zooming out the photo's don't get all pixelated.Nice to fit in small bag or pocket & starts fast. I am using the Play memories app too which is good.

Hane only taken 100 test type phots but the quality , detai, zoom, and ability to read multiple light settings at the moment seem excellent. would have liked a viewfinder for the sunny days

Bought this a month ago and it is brilliant - easy to use for both taking photos and filming and fits in my handbag.

The proof will be when I use it on holiday but this seems to be a really good, easy to us camera.

I've not had a chance to try out all the features as I only purchased two weeks ago. The photographs I've taken to date are excellent quality and the transfer of photos from camera to my phone or computer makes life easy to file all the results. Looking forward to using the other features over the next few months.

I have used this little camera for 2 weeks now and wow what a camera superb

Takes good photos but poor in low light, the zoom is a great feature of this camera.

Bought for my wife as a travel compact camera. I was surprised that it was bigger and heavier than my HX90, but it does its job well. We are both happy with the camera.

Had trouble with my Panasonic so bought this model as revues claim it's a good deal. Compaired to the old Panasonic DMCZS40 it leaves a lot to be desired. Far from clear instuctions and had trouble uploading from camera.Only had it for a few weeks so will give it time to see how it goes.

I bought my hx60v to superceed my olympus stylus initially to improve the optical zoom.It not only does that, but it is far better in every department.

Pros: image quality, stabilization and long focal very good. Size very handy. Cons: battery life allround 200 pics.

I bought this model just under 2 years ago and had been highly delighted with it, but accidentally dropped it on my garden path a few weeks ago and broke it. I did some research to see which camera to buy now to replace it with but it didn't take me long to realise I would simply have to replace it with exactly the same model camera! Why? I had been really happy with it - the zoom lens is brilliant for focusing on things far away and taking excellent pictures with; the video feature is excellent for taking lots of video and alternating easily with then taking snapshots, and you can take many videos and snapshots on the memory card; the battery lasts ages; it is light and easy to use and to carry around with you, really pleased with it AGAIN! I am now taking much more care not to drop it, but am treating it as a priceless object!

Brilliant Camera! Either beginner photographers via pre-set or for experienced photographers via many other settings. As I have a Sony phone it also links to this and can be used as a timer contol from a distance - beautiful

I bought this camera 2 weeks ago. It takes great pictures but the video button could do with being more recessed due to accidental switching on nearly all the time. Plus the battery compartment has popped open a few times all very annoying. I normally use a Nikon DSLR but needed something smaller and this fits the bill apart from the niggling problems.

The best compact camera I have ever owned and would highly recommend it.

Excellent camera. I wanted a simple to use model that gave me options if I want them and a powerful optical zoom. This camera does it all. Beautiful pictures.

I'd been looking for a better camera than point and click. This one ticked all my boxes. It has a lot of functions, is still straight forward and takes great pictures. I also love the fact that it comes with instructions - in hard copy form!

I have only had the camera for a few weeks. It is an insurance replacement for a Panasonic. The GPS locks on much quicker than the Pansonic and the WIFI facility is a great addition for transfers to my iPhone and Mac. I may have to sort out the settings for picture brilliance/colour rendering, but the defaults do not seem to give as pleasing a result as the Panasonic.

Best little camera l have had great for novice like me hard to not take good photos
