Sony HX60 review
After you are done with the sweeping, the camera does all the processing required, and presents you with a finished panoramic image. There are three modes, Standard, Wide and degrees.
Note that if you do the sweeping too slowly, or you let go of the shutter release button too early, the panorama will be truncated. Present and correct is the increasingly ubiquitous ability to shoot High Definition video clips. The HX60V does so at full p HD rather than i or p, and also with stereo sound rather than mono. The various options are x pixels at 50p or 50i and x at 50i in the AVCHD format, and x, x or x pixels at 25fps in the MPEG4 format.
During video recording you can take a 15 megapixel still image by pressing the shutter button, or alternatively grab a still from your video footage during playback. There is full use of the 30x optical zoom during recording so you can really make the most of that massive focal range, plus the ability to change the EV level, white balance, and metering options and turn on either standard SteadyShot or the Active Mode mode, which provides up to 10x more effectiveness with no side-effects.
The dedicated Movie button on the rear of the DSC-HX60V allows you to start recording a movie with a single push of a button, and then stop recording by pressing the same button. You can also activate the movie mode with adjustable settings via the Shooting Mode dial. Three bars appear next to the icon when the GPS has synced with one or more satellites, which unfortunately takes a few minutes from powering on the camera. The main downside of the HX60V's GPS is the subsequent drain on battery life, with the camera only managing just over shots with GPS turned on instead of the that it can manage without.
The HX60V also offers built-in wi-fi connectivity. You can wirelessly transfer your photos to a smartphone or tablet that's running the free PlayMemories Mobile app, or directly to a networked PC for easier backup. Finally, you can take control of the camera using your smartphone fire the shutter, set the self-timer and operate the zoom , handy for including yourself in the frame or even more remote shooting.
To the right of the screen is the useful one-touch movie record button and a small button for playing back your images. Users have the ability to dip in and out of created folders of images or the calendar view, view thumbnails, select slideshows and choose transitional effects and accompanying music, or delete shots.
Press the shutter button halfway and you're helpfully catapulted back into capture mode. And that's basically it. With a press of the Menu button in playback, users have access to a few in-camera retouching effects, including the ability to crop and sharpen an image and apply red-eye correction. Also on the rear is the new Function button, which depending on the current shooting mode provides quicker access to up to 12 of the camera's key settings.
You can also customise this menu to suit your needs. Underneath the Playback button is a traditional round navigation pad which you can use to navigate through menus and options, in conjunction with the small button in the middle which activates whatever it is you've chosen. The Photo Creativity tool makes it easier for beginners to change the colour, brightness, vividness and Picture effect modes, with changes previewed in real time on the LCD screen. Finally, there are buttons for the camera's menu system and for deleting images underneath the navigation pad.
A press of the former opens a number of shooting and setup folders, with white text on a black background aiding visibility. The seven shooting folders allow users to select image size, ratio and quality, plus features like SteadyShot, long exposure and high ISO noise reduction - all in fact activated as a default. The Settings folder allows you to tweak the HX60V to your way of working, while the other four folders contain the various Wi-fi, Applications, Playback, and Setup options.
The navigation pad also doubles up as a control ring that's used to set the aperture and shutter speed in the creative shooting modes, amongst other things. The ring is a little small and over-sensitive, and having to press the tiny central button to toggle between the ISO speed, shutter speed and aperture quickly becomes a bit tiresome, but the ability to take full control of the HX60V is still very welcome.
Pressing the drive mode button brings up two options, single or burst, with high-, mid- and low-speed continuous options then available in the Menu system. Out of these, the high-speed continuous mode is the most remarkable.
The HX60V takes up to 10 full-resolution photos at a frankly astounding 10 frames per second, which is faster than most compact cameras and indeed most DSLRs too. The only fly in the ointment is that once the burst is completed, it takes over fifteen seconds for the camera to clear the buffer, during which you cannot take another picture.
In the other two continuous shooting modes, the Sony HX60V also takes up to 10 pictures, but at slower speeds of 5 or 2 frames per second. The bottom of the Sony HX60V features a standard metal screw thread for attaching it to a tripod which is conveniently located in the centre.
There's also a hardly worth it 11MB internal memory to fall back on which can store 7 full-resolution still images.
The right side of the HX60V has a small metal eyelet for the supplied wrist strap and also the Multi Terminal port for using a remote controller underneath a sturdy plastic cover, while there are no controls on the left side except for a hole for the built-in microphone looking from the rear. All of the sample images in this review were taken using the 20 megapixel JPEG setting, which gives an average image size of around 6Mb. It handled noise fairly well, with a little noise appearing at the relatively slow speed of ISO and then becoming progressively worse at the faster settings of ISO and The fastest settings of ISO, all suffer from a loss of fine detail, so much so that we wouldn't use any of them unless absolutely neccesary.
Chromatic aberrations were in evidence but were well-controlled, with some limited purple fringing effects appearing in high contrast situations. The 20 megapixel images were a little soft straight out of the camera at the default sharpen setting and require some further sharpening in an application like Adobe Photoshop, or you can increase the in-camera sharpening level.
Macro performance is excellent, allowing you to focus as close as 5cms away from the subject. Commendably barrel distortion is well controlled even at the 24mm wide-angle focal length of the incredibly versatile 30x zoom lens. The built-in flash worked well indoors, with no red-eye and adequate overall exposure. The maximum shutter speed of 30 seconds allows the cameras to capture enough light for most after-dark situations.
The effective Dynamic Range Optimizer function extracts more detail from the shadow and highlight areas in an image, without introducing any unwanted noise or other artifacts. The High Dynamic Range mode combines two shots taken at different exposures to produce one image with greater dynamic range than a single image would produce.
It only works for JPEGs and for still subjects, but does produce some very effective results. There's a good range of Color Modes and Picture Effects on offer, while the Sweep Panorama mode makes it simple to take wide-vista shots.
The right-hand image has had some sharpening applied in Photoshop. The out-of-the camera images are just a little soft and ideally benefit from some further sharpening in a program like Adobe Photoshop. Alternatively you can change the in-camera sharpening level. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60V handled chromatic aberrations well during the review, with some purple fringing present around the edges of objects in high-contrast situations, as shown in the examples below.
The first image shows how close you can get to the subject in this case a compact flash card. These shots of a white coloured wall were taken at a distance of 1. And here are some portrait shots. As you can see, neither the Forced Flash setting or the Red-Eye Correction option caused any amount of red-eye.
The shot below was taken using a shutter speed of 8 seconds at ISO High Dynamic Range Optimiser HDR is Sony's solution for capturing more contrast than a single exposure can handle by combining two exposures into one image. There are seven Creative Style preset effects that you can use to change the look of your images. The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60V allows you to take panoramic images very easily, by 'sweeping' with the camera while keeping the shutter release depressed. The camera does all the processing and stitching and even successfully compensates for moving subjects.

Verified Purchase. But you cant carry that lot with you every day. Its a keeper, R. I bought this camera to replace. This camera is good for that but unfortunately that's where the good points end. I take anywhere up to 1, pictures a day as a basic point and shoot one handed when I am carrying out condition surveys but the positioning of the menu buttons means they are forever being accidentally pressed and changing the quality of the image.
I got home today to find that a load had been taken in black and white with the exception of grass and number plates, which came out normally as green and yellow. This means I have to keep turning the camera off and on again to reset everything to default, which in turn drains the battery; even though I have bought long life replacements, they still don't last the day.
This camera would be perfect if only I could lock all of the menu buttons to avoid them being accidentally pressed. Looked like the best value for the money to fit in her pocket with no lens to add on to the front and for taking those quick people shots that I don't do enough of. Lovely picture, bits and pieces to play about with and explain how each effect the picture and the match the environment you are taking the picture in.
Nice starting point to understanding now different elements effect the picture but also great for a point and press. I'm off on my travels shortly but it's the sort of trip where carrying a far more bulky DSLR with a couple of lenses and other associated kit could be an inconvenience. After a fairly extensive search for a lightweight substitute the HX60 seemed to fit the bill.
My criteria was primarily a large sensor, a good focal range, simplicity of use and a sensible price. Initial test shots have been satisfactory and match other reviews I've read. There are, arguably, better products on the market but this ticked all my boxes and was just about within budget considering it is not intended as my main camera. I use this camera for football shots and as my nearly always carry around camera.
I'll take my Nikon 1 J5 instead if I want superb low light performance. This camera only has a tiny sensor so you can't expect too much when the lights go dim, especially as the ISO maxes out at But it's a great travel zoom camera and I've really enjoyed being able to capture candid, non-posed shots of far-off subjects, eg in Thailand recently.
Its mm zoom is an extremely useful range and I can't believe they've squeezed it into a coat pocket sized camera. The anti shake works well and I just love the controls. I usually leave it on Aperture priority. Then the ring on the back lets you adjust aperture very quickly and the Fn button takes you into ISO speed quickly it goes straight to ISO if that's where you went last time. I also rather like the exposure compensation dial although sometimes I'll leave it brighter or darker by accident.
I takes decent videos and I also found it easy to connect it with my Android phone as a remote shutter.
