Aside from the great Leica optics, the View Finder makes it easy to compose your photo. I like downloading my photos to my camera at the end of the day using the WiFi feature. Camera has advanced features similar to DSLR such as setting your aperture or shutter. Only downside is that the instruction manual is really hard to follow.

The camera needs a software update to save pictures and videos to a DVD. the program Play Memories to save pictures and videos Sony wants to use on the camera, will not copy any MP4 videos to a DVD , I would like to copy both pictures and MP4 videos to a DVD. to watch on both a computer and DVD player. Hoping i can load pictures and video with the program Rixo easy copy, but it is a extra expense I should not need to have. I also wish it could copy GPS location directly to finished pictures and videos.

There are advantages of Sony's pocket camera over a cellphone camera: Fits in any pocket (iPhone7 limitation). Not heavy or bulky, good for walking the city or countryside. Takes 3 shots and averages them, removes motion and exposure errors. This feature supports indoor wide angle and telephoto shots in low light such as the inside of a Cathedral. Setting for 90% of all photos: amber-colored "i", camera icon,"+" on mode dial called SUPERIOR AUTO. Viewfinder for harsh outdoor light and sports. Flip LCD for framing selfies and ground-level shots like flowers, a mountain brook or a fish tank. Optical telephone and wide angle shots simply impossible with a cellphone. The inconvenient features include recording GPS data only by transferring the photos to a cellphone that has the GPS catalog feature (i.e. iPhone). There is a installed APP available for the transfers, but too inconvenient for daily use. Android Near Field Connect untried. It may be convenient to do that at the end of the day, but not after every open-close of the camera, as is done by the iPhone APP (one APP on the camera, one on the iPhone). The supplied USB cable worked to download photos from camera to Linux Mint 17.3 (=Ubuntu 14.04) and Windows 8.1. No test of Windows 10 or Archlinux. The USB cable has dual-duty as a charging cable or connector to an external power bank (i.e., AnkerDirect products). Liked the amber charging indicator. The learning curve required reading all the online Sony manuals for HX80. It took about one week to try out all the features. Good to have the possibility to solve a difficult shooting situation, on the spot, by traversing the menu. The in-camera manual was invaluable a few time already, to decipher the menu itself.Read full review

I purchased this for 3 reasons: 1) my point and shoot was dieing; 2) this has a pop-up viewfinder -- so frustrating when you can't see what you're shooting; and 3) powerful zoom. I may change to 5 stars once I use it more (there's way too much for me to use; as is with most hardware these days); not too keen on all the wi-fi they use nowadays with hacking but I'll only use a cable. But love the zoom feature for wildlife.

As a professional photographer I went through many camera's before finally calling Cameta Camera and requesting a recommendation of a compact camera with a FAST Shutter Speed. I take photos daily...and often many, many photos a day. I work this little camera to death and it holds up better than ANY I have ever had. I love all the options it offers. It's POWERFUL with Clear, Crisp photos that take you into the deepest grooves of a finger print (macro) or zooms well across large areas to bring you close up (zoom). The video is just as crisp and clear. You can get all the details of this camera anywhere on the net but when a Camera Shop makes a recommendation, you know you are getting a quality product. SONY has long been known for it's Quality and it hasn't disappointed me at any level. I wish I hadn't wasted my money on all the other products I used before finding this camera. RECOMMEND USE WITH SONY CARD READERS for the BEST RESULTS. 5 STARS Honestly Isn't Enough! Spend a little more and get a LOT MORE RETURN of what you need, want and desire. Amazing little camera. I'll never be without one. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CAMERA FOR YOU!!! Read full review
