Update: Had to stop using the HX80 recently after my tripod fell over and the lens of the HX80 impacted the ground. The HX80 was an amazing camera that I used for years with no issues. I still highly recommend it! Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing!
Hello thanks for the video, I have a question, I hope you can help me, I want to buy this camera but I want to check how works transfer photos to smarphone without NFC.
I just got this camera for my birthday and it's a fantastic buy. I wasn't looking for something huge and photographer-driven but something that was not too big and could get the job done. I love the beautification features (lighting up faces, smoothing out skin and even widening your eyes, brightening your teeth etc.) I also love the wifi functionality of the camera. I'm able to quickly transfer my photos to my iPhone without a problem. It also has a remote control app so that you can set the camera down and control it with your phone. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the camera as it takes fantastic pictures.
Hello Melissa, the app is called PlayMemories it is an official Song app. Soon I will upload an app tutorial for PlayMemories, so please subscribe to get notified when it is released. Please see links below: • Apple: itunes.apple.com/us/app/playmemories-mobile/id489191124?mt=8 • Android: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sony.playmemories.mobile&hl=en Thank you for watching!
Alan Nguyen thank you so much !! I appreciate yalls help. I will most likely be getting this camera soon. Do you think it's good for both vlogging and regular sit down and talk videos ??
when playing back a video on the camera, the volume is very low even though I set it to the max. I also made sure I wasn't covering the mic. Is there something else I need to do?
Just bought and am learning. one annoying thing on the screen...on the upper view in pic mode there is a display of hands moving and ))) objects on. What did I miss or turn off?
Hi, are you still using your HX80? Are you able to quickly adjust ISO or shutter speed with the menu control dial on the back? I noticed that this camera doesn't have a control ring around the lens like on the HX99, but that wouldn't matter if the menu dial on the back can do the same thing.
Hi. Im currently looking at buying one of these. Can you tell me......can you power the camera whilst you are recording video so you are not solely relying on battery power? Thanks.
Great review. Is there any way it can take time-lapsed photos? It does not seem to be a standard feature of this phone, and the Sony App that you can buy does not work on this camera.
I would love to get one of these but the positioning of the tripod mounting attachment point so close to the battery compartment really defeats using a quick release plate. That alone ruined this camera for me... 🙁
Can not seem to figure the Macro focus for close ups of flowers, bugs, etc. It won't focus and is nothing but a big blur. Otherwise love my Sony DSC-HX80.
Unfortunately, that is not possible with this camera. Probably the biggest con I have found so far. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing!
Hello Rachel, this camera does indeed connect to the iPhone. Here is a link to the app in the app store - itunes.apple.com/us/app/playmemories-mobile/id489191124?mt=8 Thank you for watching!
Would this camera be good for travelling.? I’m going to Europe and looking for a camera that will be able to take good pictures that I can later print. Thank you
Hey Gauging Gadgets, I have this camera and broke LCD screen (It's Black now), I can fix it, but i just can't find LCD screen part for this camera, Can you help me with this? I searched every where but can't find it...
Hi!! I have a sony cybershot hx20V and i use a lot of its "EV" control button (that its a button called "custom" next to the top of it). I couldn't sed this button on the video. Do you know if it has it? :)
Hello Kristie, this camera can only fit a specific battery that came with it. AA batteries will not work. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
can anyone please help me figure out how I can transfer the photos from my camera (hx80) to my iphone? I did the instructions in the manual and i watched some videos but nothing is working? the app doesnt seem to work for me? please help
I really liked your coverage of the camera - and I'm seriously contemplating getting the same one, so I was wondering if the problem I've had with my Nikon S9900 is something I could expect with this one. With the Nikon (which shoots 7 FPS), it is extremely slow between shots. It lags an exceptionally long time after taking bursts, and doesn't take very many in the bursts, so I don't often have successful results. How is your Sony for shot to shot recovery time?
How do you get your videos to be full screen when using this camera? Are there certain settings that I need to have the camera on or certain tags I need to input?
Hello Porsha, I am not sure what you mean by full screen. Do you mean it will record full screen or do you mean full screen on the psychical screen on the camera? Let me know and I give you some input. :)
Oh OK, thanks for the extra info. I think the problem might be the Aspect Ratio setting under menu. Make sure this is "16:9". Additionally, make sure you have the Record Setting set to the highest possible. As for TH-cam tags. Tags basically help TH-cam figure out what your video contains and is about. It is important to include as many relevant tags as possible because this will help people fine your video. Basically, better tags = more viewers. I recommend this video for more information - th-cam.com/video/BL1dPTHbjj0/w-d-xo.html
You are very welcoeme. Thank you so much for watching! Just checked out your videos and I see what you mean by it being smaller than the video area. How are you uploading your videos to TH-cam?
+Angelo Yasay Hello! This camera does not have any way of using an external mic but I think the internal mic works pretty great. All of my videos from late 2016 and 2017 were recorded with this camera's mic, so I recommend listening to a couple of them as a sample. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you so much for watching!
+hi ok yes, it would be great for that. This is an awesome camera. I have been using it for over a year and have made hundreds of videos with it. I have also traveled with it. I love this camera. I think it is the best your can buy for the price. Let me know if you have any questions. I am happy to help! Thank you for watching!
Hello, thank you for this great feedback. Unfortunately, this camera does not have an external mic plug. Thank you so much for watching and please consider subscribing!
The zoom on my copy of the camera is very loud when in picture mode when compare to my other Sony Cyber-Shots like the WX220. Very smooth during video though, I don’t know if there is a problem with my copy of the camera or if the zoom motor is just loud,
Gauging Gadgets I’m going to a concert over the summer and have semi-nosebleed seats, it my favorite singer and I want to get good pictures from the concert. And I’m trying to decide which is better between two similar cameras.
Gotcha. I think this camera would do a decent to good job for that usage. Pictures can be hard in that environment with the lighting. This camera is more than capable with the zoom but you may have to edit the pictures afterwards for the low light. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
Great video this has really helped me out with making the decision to purchase the camera ! By far the best video ive come across so far, amazing job!!!💜 hope all is well
I was going to get the canon sx530 now I'm thinking of going with my second option the HX80 my first was the gopro hero5 now I'm definitely not getting the gopro the sx530 was my 3rd option
Hi, i'm having some troubles with this camera when recording, i'm not too educated when it comes to cameras so i was wondering if it was just my memory card which was the problem, the settings i have the camera on are: movie Aperture AVCHD 50i 24M (FX) whilst using a SDXC class4 64gb memory card. Any help would be amazing, thanks!
Hello! I believe the problem is the class of your memory card. The class of the card represents the speed that it can record video. While a class 4 should be ok for recording 1080 HD video, AVCHD 50i 24M is recording 60 frames per second. I believe this requires at least a class ten card. Please let me know if that does not make sense. Here is a Wikipedia article that might help en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital#Speed_class_rating Thank you for watching!
You are very welcome! It should not effect the quality at all. This is the software I use for all of my videos, so you can check them out to see what it will look like. Just make sure you save the movie "For High-definition displays." Basically just make sure you save your edited video in 1080 quality. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks!
Hello! Just check and while the 'for TH-cam' is 1080 and should be fine for youtube the 'for High-definition display' is a higher bitrate and therefore a higher quality 1080. I recommend using the 'for High-definition display'. Let me know if you have any other questions.
are you sure it's in 1080p 60f that you get the 29 mins limits? My current camera has 30 mins, but only in 720p. basically, it has a 4gb file size limit.
How long is the battery life? My camera tends to die after 45 minutes. My current one can only record up to 8 minutes.. Though the SD card could be the reasoning? Not really great with understanding cameras as much as I should for how often I use them lol.
Does this Camera have any stabilisation?? I’m looking for a new camera because the one I have at the moment has no stabilisation and really bad quality xx
Yes, this camera has some stabilization and it is not digital. Newer camera might be better though. My Pixel 2 has incredible stabilization. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing!
Hello Sara, I just compared your latest video to another one of yours and there is definitely something different. Did you happen to add any lighting or anything to the room where you record? It just seems some what over exposed. I recommend going into the settings, then go to the first tab (looks like a camera), then go through pages number 2 - 4. I recommend auto for most of the settings but it might be good to play around with some of them. If that doesn't help you might want to try a settings reset. Follow these instruction to do that: helpguide.sony.net/dsc/1620/v1/en/contents/TP0000576861.html Please let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help!! Thank you so much for watching! :)
Hello Vojta, I actually have film a video using the selfie style. You can see that here th-cam.com/video/CqRLIg7HgQ0/w-d-xo.html Please let me know if this isn't help, I will upload a test video for you. Thank you for watching!
There's a small node on the front of the camera, up and to the left of the lens, that looks like a red "recording" light but that the online manual calls a "Self-timer lamp/AF Illuminator". Does it light up red when recording video, so your subjects know what you're doing? I'm looking for a camera for conventions, where it's almost always people taking pictures instead of video, and want a camera with that light to indicate what I'm doing so cosplayers know not to just pause and hold still in a pose.
Well, that's disappointing.. I have a Kodak camera from something like 10-15 years ago that does this, but its max video resolution is 640x480. Do you know of any that do this, so I at least have an idea of where to look?
Can you record videos while using the flash at the same time? & can you do a video on how the quality of the camera is when it's in a low light area (:
Jixeey Loveess I just purchased and have created many videos on my channel so far with it. Unfortunately, you cannot use the light while in video mode. My husband bought me this camera thinking that was its case. I've adapted to it.
Hello! Unfortunately this is not possible. I have uploaded another video that has a ton of samples of night shots and low light shots. This video can be found in the description.
Hello Sammy, as far as I can tell this camera does not have a skin smoothing setting. This is something you could do in post editing with an app on your phone or computer. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing!
Hi, Im looking at getting this camera, does the flip screen work while shooting videos? I read that the flip only works for taking pictures not recording videos.
+Ashley Bennett Hello Ashley! Yes the screen works while filming video. I use it a lot to monitor my videos while filming and it works great. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
I find that automatic works best for me. Really the other settings would be used on specific scenarios so it is hard to say what would look the best. I have uploaded another video that shows a ton of sample pictures and videos. Hopefully this helps.
Hello Jeri! I have found the battery life to be great for traveling. During my usage I have found that the battery last through the entire day of on and off usage. One thing to note is that the camera uses a micro USB connector for charging. This means that it can easily be charged on the go if necessary. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
Jeri, you will only need the USB-C dongle if your computer has type c connectors. If your computer has normal USB connectors you will be set. Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks!
It depends on what type of vlogging you do. If it is action based with a lot of water then I recommend the GoPro, if not get the HX80. Thanks for watching!
Hello Reset! No SD card is included with this camera. Amazon has 32gb cards for ~$10 though. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
Yes, this is possible. The only issue I have found when doing this is you can hear the motor in the recording. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
It is a big decision for sure. I have been using this camera for more than a year now and absolutely love it. It is easy to use, very compact for travel, and takes great video and pictures. If you are interested in more examples check out any of my videos made in 2017.
+drewstr teewa Hello, this camera is not considered a DSLR. I believe the camera would be called a point and shoot. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
thanks, we just bought this camera for usd263 in uk argos shop www argos co uk for two daughters aged 10 and 12 to use for vlogging - your review is very useful and reassuring as a supplement to the sony instruction manual - we also purchased it together with SanDisk Extreme 90MBs Micro SD 4K Ready Memory Card - 32GB which was usd25 when purchased together with the camera (advertised as a 40pc discount)

Hey! How do you like this camera?
Hi, can you post videos with low light? or like low light pictures.
Hello Michelle, I will work on this and get a video posted for you shortly. Thanks for the idea!

This is definitely going on my Christmas list 😂
when playing back a video on the camera, the volume is very low even though I set it to the max. I also made sure I wasn't covering the mic. Is there something else I need to do?
Also how good is the quality of the pictures along with the auto focus?
YOU SOLD ME IM GNNA BUY THIS
I'm sold on getting this camera now after watching this vid. TY!
Hi,
Can you tell me how can I share my video from camera to my phone?
Just bought and am learning. one annoying thing on the screen...on the upper view in pic mode there is a display of hands moving and ))) objects on. What did I miss or turn off?
ZOOm going really too quick ! I din´t use the Camera a While ! Is it normanal ? Wich settings I can try ?
Hi, are you still using your HX80? Are you able to quickly adjust ISO or shutter speed with the menu control dial on the back? I noticed that this camera doesn't have a control ring around the lens like on the HX99, but that wouldn't matter if the menu dial on the back can do the same thing.
Does the camera have a pause feature?...........If not what camera does
can you change EV settings in video mode?
Sorry does the hx80 have a manual focus ring or the hx90 had one?
My son is a Boy Scout and is traveling to West Virginia and I was wondering if this camera is good with outdoors and mountains
Kristie Langdale This camera is only good for outdoors.
I dont know if I should get the canon powershot sx730 or the sony dsc hx80
This might be a dumb question but what exactly does the electronic viewfinder do?
Hi. Im currently looking at buying one of these. Can you tell me......can you power the camera whilst you are recording video so you are not solely relying on battery power? Thanks.
Great review. Is there any way it can take time-lapsed photos? It does not seem to be a standard feature of this phone, and the Sony App that you can buy does not work on this camera.
I would love to get one of these but the positioning of the tripod mounting attachment point so close to the battery compartment really defeats using a quick release plate. That alone ruined this camera for me... 🙁
Can not seem to figure the Macro focus for close ups of flowers, bugs, etc. It won't focus and is nothing but a big blur. Otherwise love my Sony DSC-HX80.
Can we add an external mic? Like the port for a little tak mic?

I just bought one and do you know how to turn on the flash when recording a vlog?

Is it better for pictures or videos?
Thanks:)

So I'm having problems with the video quality being vibrant like the pictures. Is there anything you recommend I do?
Hello Sara, can you provide more information? Are the videos too bright?
Gauging Gadgets for some reason pics look flawless but once I got that movie button the color quality reduces.

I recommend auto for most of the settings but it might be good to play around with some of them. If that doesn't help you might want to try a settings reset. Follow these instruction to do that: helpguide.sony.net/dsc/1620/v1/en/contents/TP0000576861.html
Please let me know if you have any questions, I am happy to help!! Thank you so much for watching! :)
How is the audio if you're speaking to a camera from up front? (selfie style with the screen). Great review though!
Hello Vojta, I actually have film a video using the selfie style. You can see that here th-cam.com/video/CqRLIg7HgQ0/w-d-xo.html
Please let me know if this isn't help, I will upload a test video for you. Thank you for watching!
Did you recorded that TH-cam video with that Sony DSC-HX80?
Only the test footage.
@@GaugingGadgets my budget is limited. Can i use that camera for vlog youtube?
There's a small node on the front of the camera, up and to the left of the lens, that looks like a red "recording" light but that the online manual calls a "Self-timer lamp/AF Illuminator". Does it light up red when recording video, so your subjects know what you're doing?
I'm looking for a camera for conventions, where it's almost always people taking pictures instead of video, and want a camera with that light to indicate what I'm doing so cosplayers know not to just pause and hold still in a pose.
+Izkata hello Izkata, this light does not light up when filming. I think it only turns if to remove red eye on pictures
Well, that's disappointing.. I have a Kodak camera from something like 10-15 years ago that does this, but its max video resolution is 640x480.
Do you know of any that do this, so I at least have an idea of where to look?
Can you record videos while using the flash at the same time?
& can you do a video on how the quality of the camera is when it's in a low light area (:
Jixeey Loveess I just purchased and have created many videos on my channel so far with it. Unfortunately, you cannot use the light while in video mode. My husband bought me this camera thinking that was its case. I've adapted to it.
Hello! Unfortunately this is not possible. I have uploaded another video that has a ton of samples of night shots and low light shots. This video can be found in the description.
Does the camera have the skin smoothing setting ? Please let me know !
I’m not sure if it is a setting or what but I had a Sony with a skin smoothing option and I really want that again!
Hello Sammy, as far as I can tell this camera does not have a skin smoothing setting. This is something you could do in post editing with an app on your phone or computer. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching and please consider subscribing!
Can you record with the flash on?
Hi, Im looking at getting this camera, does the flip screen work while shooting videos? I read that the flip only works for taking pictures not recording videos.
+Ashley Bennett Hello Ashley! Yes the screen works while filming video. I use it a lot to monitor my videos while filming and it works great. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
great review
Can you hook up an external microphone and Great Video
Unfortunately you cannot connect external mics. Thanks for watching!
Thanks just hit 600 jackpot I might just settle on this
Good review!
what are the best settings on the camera for video?
I find that automatic works best for me. Really the other settings would be used on specific scenarios so it is hard to say what would look the best. I have uploaded another video that shows a ton of sample pictures and videos. Hopefully this helps.
Yeah GREAT video! Im going to be traveling a lot this year. This camera is the right price size and looks simple to use. How is the battery life?
Hello Jeri! I have found the battery life to be great for traveling. During my usage I have found that the battery last through the entire day of on and off usage. One thing to note is that the camera uses a micro USB connector for charging. This means that it can easily be charged on the go if necessary. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
Gauging Gadgets thanks, the only thing I'm curious about is will I have to get a USB-C dongle for my 13 MacBook Pro 16. Or card reader
Jeri, you will only need the USB-C dongle if your computer has type c connectors. If your computer has normal USB connectors you will be set. Please let me know if you need more information. Thanks!
Did you take those photos in Boston?
+Taha Zaidi The picture of the city was actually in Atlanta.
Those was some pirates on the little blue boat huh
Should I get this or a GoPro hero 5 session? (I'm a vlogger by the way)
It depends on what type of vlogging you do. If it is action based with a lot of water then I recommend the GoPro, if not get the HX80. Thanks for watching!
Gauging Gadgets thank you. I will go with the vlogging camera because I don't do crazy activities. Your review was on point:)
+ItsSavageRyan Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the camera!
Does the camera have time lapse ? Lmk asap please
Hello Isac, this camera does not have a time lapse setting
A quick question do you get a SD card with it?
Hello Reset! No SD card is included with this camera. Amazon has 32gb cards for ~$10 though. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
How did you get rid of all the info on the screen .
Hello, can you provide a little bit more about what you mean? I'm happy to answer your questions.
@1:34 Wow! you have a cruise ship?
All that youtube money from those subscribers finally paid out ! :p
Can you zoom in during video recording?
Yes, this is possible. The only issue I have found when doing this is you can hear the motor in the recording. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for your reply. I took a look at this camera yesterday in the store. I still haven't decided to buy it yet.
It is a big decision for sure. I have been using this camera for more than a year now and absolutely love it. It is easy to use, very compact for travel, and takes great video and pictures. If you are interested in more examples check out any of my videos made in 2017.
Super helpful
I vlog with the canon 80d but Im getting this for a secondary for going into stores that say no cameras lol. walmart for example.
Awesome video!!! Thanks
Really glad you liked it!! Thank you for the feedback!

how well do you think this camera would work in a concert setting?
5:05 FLAT EARTH PROOF!
Is this considered a DSLr?
+drewstr teewa Hello, this camera is not considered a DSLR. I believe the camera would be called a point and shoot. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thank you for watching!
thanks, we just bought this camera for usd263 in uk argos shop www argos co uk for two daughters aged 10 and 12 to use for vlogging - your review is very useful and reassuring as a supplement to the sony instruction manual - we also purchased it together with SanDisk Extreme 90MBs Micro SD 4K Ready Memory Card - 32GB which was usd25 when purchased together with the camera (advertised as a 40pc discount)
I know David Dobrik has used this camera so if anyone wants to they should check out his videos to see the quality
