Sony's pocket travel compact — 30x zoom with 1/2.3-inch sensor and WiFi in slim body.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX60 launched in 2014 as a pocket travel compact with 30x optical zoom covering 24-720mm equivalent. It targets travellers wanting extreme zoom in a genuinely pocketable body with WiFi and NFC.
Uses a 20.4MP 1/2.3-inch Exmor R CMOS sensor. Image quality is typical for small-sensor compacts — fine in good light. 30x Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* zoom with SteadyShot stabilisation. WiFi and NFC for sharing. Full HD 1080p 60fps video.
No viewfinder — 3-inch fixed LCD only. 24-720mm f/3.5-6.3 Zeiss zoom. WiFi and NFC. GPS on this model. 272g — genuinely pocketable. USB charging. iAuto intelligent mode.
Available used very cheaply. The 30x zoom in a genuinely pocket body was the selling point. No RAW shooting. The Panasonic TZ100 with 1-inch sensor is significantly better quality. For casual travellers wanting maximum zoom in minimum size at minimum cost.
