Photographyblog reviews the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX300 and writes;
“The Sony CyberShot DSC-HX300 produced images of good quality during the review period. It handled noise fairly well, with a little noise appearing at the relatively slow speed of ISO 400 and then becoming progressively worse at the faster settings of ISO 800 and 1600.”

A review for the less technologically inclined—Awesome Camera!
“Bottom line, this camera is awesome. I have three situations where I took a picture and was stunned by the results. 1. A pigeon flew quickly over my head in a blue sky. The camera was on auto. I whipped around, got the bird in the frame, zoomed in a bit, and held the button half-way down to focus. The auto focus caught the bird quickly, and then the bird was instantly tracked by the auto focus…” – By Douglas W. McKeehen

Great camera
“I highly recommend that you buy both as it is much easier to focus on distant objects with the remote and take pictures without moving the camera. I have taken great shots of the moon and Jupiter with its moons. I use the camera mostly for birds and scenery shots and I am extremely pleased with all my pictures.” – By Carl Galloway

Great camera with sometimes inconsistent results
“the HX300 is still a great camera. It’s fast and when the exposure is on the money, produces outstanding results. When dealing with a camera with the zoom capabilities of this one, some tradeoffs are to be expected.” – By Harley Head
