One of the best 1/2.3 sensor point & shoot! This is my fourth Sony product after my purchase of Sony a7s, RX100, and RX100III (wife’s cam).

This HX80 fits in the pocket of your trousers with a 30x zoom and a view-finder – and can take amazing shots. With the tiny small sensor in the HX80 – will photos be as clear as a DSLR with a $2000 lens? No. Of course not. But this camera for what is does – is genius. The electronic viewfinder is critical for the images that I will attach here.I was out bird watching with my SWAROVSKI binos – and spotted this iguana (St. Maarten) sunning itself on a dead snag far in the distance. Decided to try out my new HX80 to see what the zoom could do. Zoom is really good – but it would be worthless in this case without a view finder. See attached hand-held images for wide angle – and the 30x zoom on the iguana. The red arrow in the wide…
