Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the WX300 for its impressive 20× zoom, fast 10 fps burst, and effective Optical SteadyShot with 2‑way Active Mode, noting that it delivers high‑resolution, low‑noise images and smooth video despite its compact size. However, they also caution that the small 1/2.3‑inch sensor can produce noticeable noise at higher ISOs, the fixed LCD limits compositional flexibility, and the lack of GPS and advanced audio features may disappoint more demanding users.
