Description

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC Point & Shoot camera is a highly capable device and is also great for beginners and intermediates alike.

The 100 X clear image zoom feature also augments this 50 X zoom lens.

Mr. Bikash Roy

whatever you said is fine... but as far as buying this with 25000 goes, this point and shoot camera is easy to use and gives great picture quality. most people don't know too much about lenses etc.... so what is the point of buying a DSLR if we dont know how to use it??? rather this easy to use point and shoot camera with excellent picture quality is better option for most people.... DSLRs worth 25000 are for amateur photographers on a budget..... this camera is more for people who want good ...

Great

At first, I was very confused between The Canon SX50 HS and the Sony HX300....
Canon and Sony both have the 50x Optical zoom.... The Sony has the optical steady shot to help you even at the highest zoom range in the camera... Whereas the Canon has the DIGIC 5 processor to handle noise excellently...
The Sony Has a 150x digital zoom and the Canon has a 4x digital zoom....
The Canon has a 12.1 MP with a CMOS sensor and the Sony has a 20.4 MP with an Exmor CMOS sensor.....
The lens of the Canon ...

NExt BeSt Thing to SLR

HI all,
Purchased the camera in august ,one of the main reason to choose it instead of Canon SX50 was manual ring and bigger aperture 2.8 instead of 3.5 in canon.I got it for 21433 as cash back offer was going around at that time.

I used both the camera before buying Sony.To be honest Canon image quality was a bit better but not good enough for extra 4500 i have to pay!!

Pros:
1.The zoom is just wow, 50x is massive though quality degrades.
2.Grip of the camera is really good, i mean the bes...

I am Just loving it-

Mr ROY gave 2 star for this camera, I don't know why,either he doesnt know how to use the camera or he didnt buy the camera.Anyways,lets come to the point. I am a wildlife freak, was planing to buy a camera, but was confused which one to choose.DSLR or Sony Cyber shot. Then after much research and hopping around shops, I found that buying DSLR would cost at least 25k, and buying lens for zoom you need to spend some more buck .. n for nature lovers like me...300mm lens is the minimum I would...

The most honest review.. I have bought this product and used it for almost a year..

First of all who says this not a good product and suggests fellow buyers to better go with a DSLR cameras - Do you even know that these cameras are class apart and targeted to completely different target markets? And if you think this cameras is not capable of taking good photos, go and check my flickr account: photos/99091748@N05/ (add flickr website in front). All the photos in there are taken from Sony HX300.

This camera is for them who have just decided to get involved into photography. ...

Best in Class and Value for Money

First of all the build is solid and feels like u r holding a DSLR. The operations are quite simple. The zoom quality is simply superb. The photo quality is too good , off course the size of photo is ~8mb.
The flash in the night is well managed and u will get clear pictures. if you are a traveler, this is one is made for you, Hassle free operation , no need to change lenses unlike a DSLR. one more advantage is that no need to carry a separate charger as it works with universal USB chargers whi...

Fastest delivery and Awesome product

Delivery :

Flipkart delivered it on second day. Hats Off.

About Product :

The most important thing is the warranty (as lots of people gets confused about warranty while buying products online). It has 2 years of Sony India warranty (confirmed it with Sony authorised service centre).

I have searched a lot before buying this and I was confused between this and a entry level DSLR (Canon 1100D). If you are a pro and ready to pay extra for lenses, buy a DSLR. But if you like to take hassle ...

Great Camera !

First of I would like to respond to the person , as to why would anyone buy a camera for 22000 rupees that is a point and shoot. Just to say where will you get a 50x zoom for 22000 bucks. The image qulality is excellent as long as one doesnt want print sizes of more than 13x19 inches, which for an amateur is more than enough. I have this camera and it is excellent. You can view my pics at flickr.
