Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60

Advantages: I'm not a pro, but I love to take pictures. And you do not know what you want to take off at the moment. Or a landscape, or birds, or a portrait. But with all my desires, the camera copes perfectly. Only the ability to make a quick, beautiful shot. The mirror, Nikon, immediately put on the shelf, I do not use it. And rent rooms, you can and smartphones.

Disadvantages: Disadvantages, for me, no.

Comment: Impressions of this model, and for such money, just beautiful. Of course, you can buy a matrix for more and a lens for more, but then you have to pay a lot. To whom that is necessary, he chooses.

Advantages: excellent automation, convenient manual modes, installation of applications on the wifi, excellent optical zoom

Disadvantages: In the video mode, there is no manual focus as in the photo, only the tracking mode, although it is certainly cool. mmmmm .... all that?!?! well ok, I would like to video 100k / s (50pishyat)

Comment: chose a long time. I am a professional, I have 5d m3, and I almost worked on everything. I wanted the device to always lie in my pocket, and with the wifi, to immediately ship to the social network))) therefore I limited the budget to 20 tons. When I took the a900 into my hands, I immediately dropped it, despite the characteristics.he is bolshevat, and it is impossible to work with him at all, trying to make complex compositions, then by focus, then by exposure, not in the way I need, but nothing can be done about it. On the functional, it is generally empty, except for 4k in the menu and there is nothing to choose. then watched g7x. everything is much more complicated! excellent device in all respects! just super! He took Sony only because of a more competent implementation of the focus, which he decides for me. very satisfied! I installed programs for timelaps, animations, editing and something else))) there is nothing to complain about, because you get much more in 20 mp. I will highlight only a huge number of creative filters and modes. I am very happy when you can leave one color to choose in the picture bw)

Advantages: The stated characteristics were confirmed, photos and videos are excellent.
It is possible to fully manual and "semi-manual" settings, to maximize the required quality, depending on the conditions and what he wants to get a photograph.
Those who complain about the quality of the pictures - either you use the settings that do not meet the conditions of shooting, or you try to squeeze out of it something that it is not designed for.

Disadvantages: The native charger is weak, slowly charging.

Comment: Suitable for those who need a compact universal photo / video camera, who does not want or can not carry bulky devices with bags, but at the same time wants to make high-quality photos and videos.
For video recording, it is better to take flash drives with a recording speed of 15 MB / s.

Advantages: Described in previous comments.
It is a good machine.

Disadvantages: 1. Noisy;
2. The speed of photography is approximately the same as on the phone (Samsung A3), sometimes even slower;
3. No dust protection ...

Comment: I bought in 2015 for 12500. I did not find a better option, and I chose Sony because of the brand. The photos are quite satisfactory, I don’t find fault with the quality, I’m not a professional photographer. I would like a battery more powerful.
A misfortune happened: they took a camera with a camera to the lake, there was a strong wind. They put the camera down in the bag (they forgot their bag at home) and swam on the rug. The lens was clogged with sand, it stopped closing and jammed the extension mechanism, and sand is also visible between the lenses inside.
It is necessary either to disassemble the lens, or to order a new one ...
p.s. The lens disassembled (as shown by YouTube), washed everything cleaned, collected. Small teasers after sand bite and do not allow to fully advance when turned on. But in general, everything continues to work, it is pushed by the lens down when turned on, and when it is turned off, it is pushed up by the lens))) The lens order is inevitable.
p.s.s. Keep the camera free from dust and sand ...

Advantages: Color rendition. Work aut. mode.
Nice. Convenient. Quality materials and assembly.

Disadvantages: Poor picture quality.

Comment: A small matrix, but for this money it is difficult to find something more worthwhile. With a 1 / 2.3 inch matrix you won’t get much. Hence the low picture quality. Cannot be on a matrix of this size be 20 megapixels and not make noise.
Very pleased with the multi BB.
Many say that cameras a decade ago gave a better result, with a lower resolution matrix. In addition, they had a larger physical size, something that is now being produced.
An example of a good device Sony RX-100. The combination of high-quality aperture optics, without exaggeration in the form of a 30x zoom, a matrix of a larger size. At the exit, the quality of photographs is much higher, which can be clearly seen when lighting is low. But his price is somewhat different.

Advantages: 30x zoom;
ergonomics
smart processor
video quality
photo quality
a lot of modes and manual settings

Disadvantages: Noisy in low light
battery would like more capacious

Comment: It was bought in March 2015 for 12,500 rubles. For this money, an excellent machine, for 22 thousand, which is requested at the time of writing the report - is expensive.
Excellent zoom, great video, rich colors in the pictures without any processing. Lightweight and easy to use, comfortable in the hand. In general - a good machine for travel and filming in nature. Photo examples:

Advantages: Photo quality, video quality! design, convenience in hand, good battery, an awesome zoom for such a kid, cool and it turned out to be a very convenient and powerful flash!

Disadvantages: ... not a professional, and therefore there is nothing to complain about ...
for my simple tasks there are no shortcomings

Comment: Zoom, of course, happy! I was surprised by friends a couple of times by the approach of the Moon to the craters (see videos on youtube). Bought fotik like soap dish in the family. I didn’t need a large ala mirror, I needed a compact to carry with me without tension. In the end, very pleased. Day photos arrange at 100%. There are smudges at night, but here the ideal should not be, because it's night and only 13000r. =)

Advantages: What can I say, this is Sony and that says it all! The BIONZ X processor, which is 3 times more powerful than the previous BIONZ processor, optimally processes image data coming from the matrix, reducing noise to an absolute minimum. At the same time, the pictures have high detail and natural color reproduction.
The Premium Quality G-Series lens is equipped with Sony advanced optical technology to create sharp images with beautiful background blur. Ideal for travel, light weight, about 270 grams, 30x optical zoom, multifunctional, what else is needed ?! :) take as long as 13.500 costs, the further the crisis the higher the prices will be, you know.

Disadvantages: They can not be in principle, if they have someone, and so it appears from the fact that they do not read the instructions and do not know how to use ...

Comment: On a solid 5-ku!
