Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60V Review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60V is a premium travel-zoom camera. Featuring a 30x zoom lens with a focal range of 24-720mm, 20.4 megapixel back-illuminated Exmor R CMOS sensor, Bionz X processor, Wi-Fi/NFC connectivity and built-in GPS tracking, the HX60V...

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60V is a very incremental update of last year's HX300 model, principally adding a faster Bionz X processor, revamped menu system and NFC connectivity. While they're all nice to have, the lack of prosumer features like a...

Sony Cyber-shot HX60V - An advanced travel compact with 30x zoom

If you want a digital compact that lets you shoot both far and wide, the Sony Cyber-shot HX60V might be the camera for you. But with minimal changes compared to last year's Cyber-shot HX50V, will the newcomer be able to hold its own against the...

Good image stabilization ; Long range ; Dedicated exposure compensation dial ; Hot shoe for mounting accessories ; Rated battery life

Not much different from HX50V ; Thumb rest inadequate ; A bit on the chunky side ; Rear display is not touch sensitive ; Image quality not as good as some competitors ; Can't shoot in RAW

The Cyber-shot HX60V is a good option to consider if you’re looking for a travel camera with a high degree of zoom and good image stabilization at the far end, while still being able to fit it in a jacket pocket or small bag. Performance wise, it's...

Sony HX60V review

30x optical zoom, Wi-Fi, full manual control... it seems like the HX60V has it all.

30x optical zoom ; Built-in Wi-Fi and NFC ; Manual control

No touchscreen ; Images soft at 100% ; No raw format shooting

The HX60 is a solid choice for anybody who wants a reliable travel camera that can take great shots, packs connectivity features, has a decent range of creative options and offers a lot of flexibility in terms of the zoom range.

Sony Cyber-shot HX60V review

There is no shortage of 30x optical zoom compact cameras on the market in 2014, with the Sony Cyber-shot HX60V slotting neatly into the company's compact lineup. If you're looking for a zoom to cater for wide-angle group shots and those far-and-away...

Big zoom in relatively small body, hotshoe for accessories, optical stabilisation is great

So similar to HX50V predecessor, image quality lags behind nearest competition

As a standalone camera there's enough to like about the Sony Cyber-shot HX60V and if you buy one we're sure you'll be content with what it can do. Its significant zoom lens, physical control dials, decent optical image stabilisation and a battery that...

Sony Cyber-shot HX60V review

Versatile and highly capable, there's more to this tiny camera than its giant zoom

Huge 30x optical zoom ; Two clever auto modes ; Excellent video and still quality

Fiddly Wi-Fi ; Unreliable GPS ; No massive improvement over HX50

Small body, big zoom, great pics: there’s no everyday shooting situation in which the HX60V doesn’t excel

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60V review

(Rating Hidden)

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60V is a compact camera with a monstrous 30x zoom, 20.4-megapixel sensor and wi-fi. It's an update to the previous model, the Cyber-shot DSC-HX50, but with added GPS and not much else. How does it hold up for picture quality?...

The HX60V with GPS meta tagging was not available initially in Europe, so I bought mine in Hong Kong. I am delighted with its performance: the zoom is remarkable, stills and videos excellent, and to have the camera out in the garden on a tripod and...
