Refurbished Sony DSC-H300/BM 20.1 MP High Zoom Point and Shoot Camera 35x Zoom Black - $85

VIPOUTLET= hard pass!

Sold and Shipped by
VIPOUTLET

I have had good luck with vip outlet on eBay. Ordered 3 items and all were like new. Including a nintendo switch, a galaxy tablet and a smart watch. That's just my experience.

So the weakest things about this camera (besides the low light capability) is no shooting in RAW and focus speed. If you are used to say even an a6000 you will be frustrated with the focus system.

EDIT: However, 85 bucks for that kind of reach... pretty good.

Isn't this normally like $175-$180?
Also 720p video, I was going to get it for video since it has great zoom (have a much much holder H50 that I loved, but it started acting up) but at 720p is not worth for videos either.

If you really need ultra zoom pictures, this does take pretty good night shots with manual mode but if you know how to adjust, and on tripod. If you use flash, it will eat through AA batteries really fast.

I've bought several eBay refurbished items from VIP.

2 Shark vacuums, a 4K Blu Ray player, and a Galaxy watch.


I've bought two more vaccum units through VIP and Newegg. Never had any problems...

how is this for video?

Can this be used as a webcam?

I bought it with PayPal - so I'm covered there if there's any shadiness.

It's a decent camera for my nephew as a first one, so there's that.

You can still get good shots without raw. Learn how to use the camera.

Quote from Robertthebloke1 : Can this be used as a webcam?

That is my question too

Pros 35x zoom $85
Cons Bulky, Small Sensor

Should take good pics in daylight.

I'd pick a refurb SX710/730/740 Canon or another small sensor super zoom that fully retracts over this one so it fits in a pocket.

But $85...
