Camera Overview — Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 20MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor and powered by Sony's BIONZ X image processor. With an ISO range of 80 to 3200, the camera handles a reasonable spread of lighting conditions for everyday and travel shooting. The 3.0-inch LCD display offers 460,000 dots of resolution, giving shooters a clear composing and reviewing experience.

Burst shooting is supported at up to 10 frames per second, making it capable of capturing fast-moving subjects. For video, the HX60 records at frame rates of 30fps and 60fps in 8-bit color, with a Standard color profile available. Image stabilization is handled through Optical OIS, with digital IS also on board.

Connectivity is a genuine strength here — Wi-Fi is built in, and the camera outputs via Mini HDMI for TV playback. USB connectivity is also present. Storage uses SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards.

The plastic body measures 108.0 x 64.4 x 38.3mm and weighs 272g, keeping things genuinely pocketable. Battery life is rated at approximately 210 shots per charge on a rechargeable Lithium-Ion cell. There is no weather sealing.
