HORRIBLE PICTURES JUST LIKE THE HX20V
on May 9, 2014
Posted by: DAVEEEE
I was hoping for an improvement over the hx20v but was not satisfied. still the same watercolor looking pictures as before.
if you like picture with lost of artifacts , noise,just plain weird.. this is the camera for you...don't know why people are not honest with their reviews . if they looked at their pics on something bigger that their phone they will see the pics are horrible.

it is OK
on July 27, 2014
Posted by: Goldfishka
I had the camera for two years and it was very good friend. It took a lot of good pictures, as well as a lot of very average. The video quality was always amazing. The waterproof lid was just fine during snorkeling, but it finally got crack after a minor drop. The fact it was a minor drop (less than 2f) is annoying. It is also (a little bit) annoying to explain to everyone how to open the lens.

Good but need some improvement
on September 20, 2013

First at all, I like this camera a lot, it have a lot of feature which are great for travel. but as a travel zoom camera, it lack the important flip screen which allow user to take self portrait. during travel, a lot of people will take self portrait with the landscape/building or nice scene. A 180 flip screen help a lot. Sony, hope you hear this and for next travel zoom that include flip screen, I will buy.

Not Impressed

I was hoping that when I purchased a $400 dollar camera that it would completely function when I received it. That was not the case so having to figure out how I return a new camera.
To me this does not speak well about the manufacture and their quality control.

Verified Purchase:Yes
Camera is too large. Great to have GPS, but I do not use this camera as the camera itself is simply too large. Need the same feature in a smaller package. Thus, I have purchased a smaller camera with similar features as Sony does not have one in the size with the features I want.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Verified Purchase:Yes
I had the previous model for about 3 years but lost it at a parade. I went right to the store to buy one exactly like it. This new one has WiFi which is a surprise. It takes beautiful photos, clear and crisp. It is so easy to use with on-screen instructions but the auto features take the guess out of everyday shooting. It takes panoramic and the zoom is fantastic. I like to photo birds from my kitchen window. The photos look like I am right there. It rivals an SLR camera for photo quality. I have never had problems taking photos in bright sunlight. The screen is bright and easy to see.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Not worth the money

I was really happy with this camera when I first purchased it. It has nice features, and pictures look good. However, after owning it less than 3 years, the flash has already broken, and I can no longer get clear photos indoors. What a waste!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
