Test Bench: Sony CyberShot DSC-HX300

Priced at Rs 25,990, Sony CyberShot DSC-HX300 has a 50x optical zoom. Gadgets & Gizmos' Nandagopal Rajan tests it out -

Sony CyberShot DSC-HX300 is a camera with a 1200mm equivalent zoom that you can use without the tripod.

All manual modes are also available on this camera. At 650 grams, the HX300 does not feel heavy in anyway.

While most other cameras take ages to lock on the subject in the full zoom, the HX300 has a very fast auto-focus.

Overall, Sony CyberShot DSC-HX300 is an ideal camera for those who want a compact for all occasions. From forest treks to wild weddings, this camera can handle it all.
