Now I begin to use the 50x zoom more often compared to my DSLR as I just go and take some shots quickly. DSLR more for weekends or planned shoots.
Another one of the shots where I tried manual focusing with the HX300 as it hunted, but I had to quickly capture the moment DSC02801 by teckhengwang, on Flickr
Compare this with the sharpness when the AF was spot on DSC02758 by teckhengwang, on Flickr
