Sony DSC-HX60, black Sony DSC-HX60, black
For round-the-world expeditions to a round-the-forest Sunday stroll, give every scene the detail it deserves, with the smallest digital camera with a 30× zoom. With a 20.4MP sensor and built-in stabilisation you’ll get vibrant photos from a camera that’s truly pocket-sized.

Get a closer view with 30x optical zoom
How close can a 30× optical zoom take you? Find out and see it all with a G Lens from Sony and optical image stabilisation - delivering highly detailed pictures at great distances.

Embrace detail with a 20.4MP sensor
Waited your whole life to see the sunrise in the east? Take a photo with the detail, colour and life that captures exactly how it felt. Zoom right in without sacrificing any of the detail with a 20.4MP Exmor R™ CMOS sensor and powerful BIONZ processor.

Shoot fast and share it all
When the moment comes fast, you won’t miss it. With high speed autofocus and built-in stabilisation from Optical SteadyShot, you get sharp, blur-free photos (and stable HD movies) every time. When you’re done, use built-in Wi-Fi to share your shots with friends and family.

Focus faster
It takes just 0.1 seconds to lock on focus in daylight conditions. That’s twice as fast as the average human can react. With high speed autofocus in less than half a second you can capture the shot of a lifetime.

Go pro with a Multi Interface Shoe
It might be pocket-sized, but it’s got professional performance and features. It has a Multi Interface Shoe that you can add a flash, electronic viewfinder or microphone too. And a new long-life battery will keep you flashing, recording and shooting all day long.
