How would u compare it with the following cameras panasonic DMC FZ200, NIKON COOLPIX P520, SONY DSC-HX300 AND CANNON POWERSHOT SX 50HS

I currently have the the HX300, but have previously tried (not just in a store, but purchased) the Nikon, Panasonic, and Canon (as well as the Fuji FinePix S8200) and the reasons I went with the Sony are: 1) ease of use 2) telephoto lens magnification 3) sensor resolution, 4) single lens (AKA individual shutter) 3D function, and 5) panoramic sweep function.Now, the Panasonic certainly had the brighter lens, but @24X, it is less than half of the Sony's 50X (the Nikon is 42X, the Fuji is 40X and the Canon is also 50X) and the Sony also has the highest resolution sensor of the group @ 20.4MP vs 12.1MP for the Panasonic, 12.1MP Canon, 16MP Fuji, and 18.1 Nikon).As far as ease of use, the Canon and especially the Nikon, are needlessly complicated when it comes to many common settings. The Sony's user interface is far superior to the rest of the field, but if the other cameras actually had comparable specs, this would not be that big a deal for me. The biggest reason this tilts the purchasing decision in Sony's favor is because I won't be the only one in the family who will use this camera, that's where ease of use becomes a big deal and it also relates to the other areas I listed.All of the cameras have a single lens 3D feature, Sony's, although it is hit or miss as far as depth is concerned, is the easiest. There is a dedicated spot on the dial for 3D on the Sony, all of the others force you to go through menus to select 3D. It is also implemented with one press of the shutter button. On the others, you have to shift the camera then press the shutter button a second time. This would be preferable if the camera gave you some guidance (as Olympus does - too bad they don't have a bridge camera that competes with the other specs of these cameras...), but without guidance, you can attempt to make 3D pictures that are completely off. For example, on at least one of Sony's competitors, after the first button press, you get to see the current view on the LCD superimposed as a less opaque image over the top of the 1st image, then you decide when you've created enough stereo depth to snap the 2nd image (which is then processed into one .mpo), but there's nothing to stop you from turning 180 degrees before taking that second picture. That's what's nice about the Olympus' guidance, you simply align two dots and it automatically takes the 2nd image.As far as the panoramic feature goes, again, the same is true for Olympus' guidance that allows you to stitch 3 images together. The Sony and the rest use a sweep motion. I found the Sony to be more forgiving of the sweep speed than the rest. The Panasonic often failed to capture an image if I didn't sweep across (or up and down) at just the right speed and length of time. The Canon, Nikon, and Fuji were almost just as bad.Finally, the combination of LCDs on the Sony are the best of the bunch with as good a resolution as the Nikon on the 3" LCD (though Nikon's is 3.2") and the best Electronic View Finder (although you have to press a button). Canon's LCD is half the resolution and only 2.8". The Panasonic's is also half the resolution (but the same size).Also, once you become accustomed to the fact that it is actually there, Sony's (power) zoom ring is a really nice feature. CONS: 1) The Panasonic, Nikon, and Canon all have LCDs that can be flipped to the side and rotated, whereas the Sony's can only tilt (the Fuji's is fixed). 2) The Nikon has GPS for geo-tagging. This is a useless feature for me, but someone else might not feel the same way... 3) compared to the others, Sony's, "selective color" feature (where you are basically taking a black & white picture except for where the selected color is present) only allows one to choose from only 4 colors, whereas the Fuji has 8 and the Nikon, 16 (or the other way around - regardless, the Sony has the fewest color choices of them all).

What is included with the camera?

I see the two answers here say that the camera comes with a battery charger. Mine did not, nor was it listed as something that it was supposed to come with. It did come with a battery, and an AC adapter to charge the battery directly through the camera. I purchased two "Wasabi Power Battery (2 Pack) and Charger for Sony NP-BX1 and Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1, DSC-RX100, HDR-AS10, HDR-AS15" for $18.99 each, giving me five batteries total, and two battery chargers. I can't possibly take that many pictures in one day, the batteries work as good as the Sony one, and I now can charge the batteries outside of the camera, which has to save wear and tear on it.

What is acceptable status means?

THIS IS A GREAT CAMERA AND THE 50X ZOOM IS PERFECT!

SONY H300 HV

Il prodotto è ben fatto ma alle volte scade su piccole cose come ad esempio il tappo obiettivo senza il cordoncino per assicurarlo alla macchina. Il problema è gestire un zoom così potente, probabilmente avrei dovuto limitare la focale dello zoom ottenendo però messe a fuoco più semplici.
