Sony’s Cyber-shot DSC-H300 has a 35x optical zoom range. It offers a 20MP CCD sensor and Sony’s excellent Sweep Panorama function. This SLR-style superzoom is equipped with a built-in EVF, optical SteadyShot image stabilization and 720p HD video.This is a great little camera for a great price. The zoom is incredible! Shortly after purchasing it we took it on our beach vacation. From 18 floors up, we could zoom in on things down on the beach with remarkable clarity. We were able to get some amazing pictures! It takes wonderful sunset pictures. Sometimes it is a little slow taking a picture, but other than that we love everything about it. It is awesome!
