Lens Error E:62:10
Cost to repair greater than value of Camera.
Known Sony Error- Will not buy another Sony Camera

Lens Error

Since I won it at promo poker tournament at Betsson promo poker tournament in 2017 I used it a month or two and make a present to my mother. She lives in Greece and there are beautiful places where she used to shoot a lot of scenery pictures. 
However she simply haven't used it aso much lately and left it at my place. Now I'm rediscovering it's great features.

Simply the best iin it's class!

An amazing quality camera. Very easy to use and as usual with Sony a very high end product.

Great piece of kit

Bought this camera and it has blown my mind away of what?s is capable of doing get this camera I highly recommend

Amazing stunning photos

I have had mine for 6 years , and if I could I would have 3 on the side as my back up, I have 1000's awards for mywork and this camera is my main go to.Yes I have other cameras Nikon and Cannons but nothing compares to this Sony

BEST CAMERA THERE IS

The HX300 50x zoom is so flexible and comes with many settings from PASM through to intelligent modes and sub menus full of interesting features that I have tried and liked ... the sensor is the normal small size which is a benefit because the lens can go up to 1200mm (35mm equiv) without too much weight and cost. The function I like is the manual focus ring which can be used along or instead of the power zoom ..a well thought out design which only lacks a sensor to auto switch from EVF to LCD screen ...but that said it is easy to use the switch for that function. I find the tracking and stabilisation absolutely perfect .... I have had a range of previous Sony smaller zoom cameras and fujifilm ..but find this to be the best I have so far encountered..... the battery life is great and I am loving being able to use a power bank 5v appliance to charge the battery in situ. the whole feel is SONY SONY SONY and gets many a remark from people for how cute it is and what it can do ....

Great Bridge camera 50X ZOOM

I bought this camera 5 years ago. Being a complete novice it's taken me a while to get used to the features but they are quite simple once you know how to use it. I have been very happy with the photos produced by this camera and it's capabilities. The video is brilliant quality. It is quite bulky and heavy but the casing feels good. 

Unfortunately after 5 years of use and taking care of this camera I received a dreaded error message (E:62:10) which is apparently to do with the lens balancing. Of course by now it is out of warranty and the only advice Sony could give was to send it away for repair but they couldn't give a cost estimate (even though I now believe this to be a common fault) and I suspect given it's age and current value, it wouldn't be cost effective to repair. On reading reviews I've seen that sadly this is a common fault with Sony cameras. As I needed a camera and knew this wouldn't be sorted out immediately (if at all) I had to buy a new camera but I've gone for a different brand this time. I'm a big Sony fan but despite 5 happy years with this camera, this has put me off. 

3 of my friends have similar cameras to this one (slightly different model numbers but still a Sony Bridge) and they are all going well and they're really happy with them. I guess I got unlucky!

Good Camera for 5 years at least!

I've been using this camera for two weeks now and I am delighted with it....the main advantage is the weight of the camera. Also I like to photograph wildlife and the zoom on this camera is exceptional

Lightweight and great zoom

I only obtained this recently, and am still in the process of thoroughly testing it.
The camera is quite light, and fits nicely in the hand, and the swinging screen makes it easy to get shots from unusual angles. 
The controls are well placed and easy to operate. 
The results so far have been very good throughout the zoom range, and on various modes.
I would have preferred the change from screen to viewfinder to have been automatic when you put your eye to the viewfinder rather than on a separate switch, but that is a relatively small down side.
I haven't yet tried any flash photographs, and the pop-up flash does seem to be quite small, so I am not expecting great coverage. A hot-shoe for an external flash would have been nice, but since the built-in microphones are exactly where that would be, it would have meant a complete re-design of the camera.
I have not tried any movie yet, but in view of the good results obtained from still photographs I have no reason to expect that results will be anything but good.

Great Zoom

Bought this camera a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t be happier with it. Easy to use, lots of features and produces great photos.

Easy Use!

fast and good, always sharp focus, light and ergonomic in hands

great buy

I bought this about 5 years ago, but still its good in focus and taking shots.

Good camera for price

Not really had the camera long enough to be fully conversant with it but I like its performance so far

Operates well

After all my life using sony products this is the END, they ruined my memories for my daughters wedding because the stablizer in the H300 goes out when you try to film or take pictures of very blue scenery

Use to love Sony NOT ANYMORE

The 50X optical zoom was the main attraction, takes nice sharp photos and still compact to carry around. I always use the AUTO setting! Why oh why isn't the lens cap attached to the camera though?

Good Camera

I bought this two months ago as my first ever bridge camera and whilst I'm still learning, I'm really enjoying the excellent features, the look, weight and feel of the camera.

Great Features

Good value for the money very happy with the product

Does all we wanted

I love this camera, but when I try to hook it to my pc, it never wants to let me download the photos. Something is broken between the HP and Sony.

Great camera

Good product with a good integral zoom lens,fair amount of information within its menu

Good compact

Love this camera! Can set on automatic features and take great looking photos! Or for the more intense picture taker, you can manually set as you like for desired effect! Great features

Wonderful Camera

I bought this one 2 weeks ago, and i really enjoy it. Its very fast and productive.

Great camera!!!

I purchased this camera initially as a short term replacement for my stolen dlsr,
however i am keeping it because it is almost as good and takes great pictures

very good camera

I love the Zeiss lens but it's a shame the camera anti-shake function doesn't work well, and the final result is not a clear sharp photo. View it at 100% and you'll see what I mean. Even when resting the camera on something solid when taking the pic, the end result is not sharp, and it's not always handy to take every photo using a tripod, so because of that I am so disappointed in this camera. There is no booklet manual, you go online to read it, or use the guide stored on the camera.

Great Zeiss lens

Got it as early Christmas present. Great camera for so small of a camera. Really light.

Love my camera

I use this each and every day. I am an artist and art historian. Need to document my work so a simple entry level point and shoot was my reason for purchase. Now I am into landscape photography and am learning how to use this camera like a pro. It takes great photos and I enjoy the hobby.

Novice Photographer

I bought the camera on the advice of a friend and have been pleased with the results.

Colour is colour!

I am delighted with my new DSC HX300 camera. The only two slight criticisms are that the lens cap cannot be attached to the camera by a lens strap like I could with my two previous Sony Bridge Cameras, and also the lack of a printed comprehensive manual.

My new photographic sketch book.

We think this is one of the best cameras I have had even though most of my previous cameras have been SLRs. I love the lens and have found it particularly useful in taking wildlife pictures.
