Thanks !  Amazing lens !!

I own the WX300 and have had many other cameras including superzooms from Panasonic, Canon, Nikon, and also own the HX20V Sony, NEX7, alpha 77, and others.   The WX300 is extraordinary in the...

Thanks for posting samples ! Are pictures 1 and 2 taken from the same distance to the building ?

Just curious Ron - what instruments are you using to resolve voltage to 10mV and temp to 1 degree F ?

Lester,   You and Ron are both right, since the battery in the Prius apparently only supplies a very small fraction of the energy needed by the electric motor with the remainder being manufactured...

Ron,   If you are saying that the charging taper / top-off of the battery is not determined by the thermistor, I think you are right. The properly designed chargers use a microcontroller /...

Ron,   I hate to be a nay-sayer here (again) but the Prius electric motor makes about 30KW of power, drawing several HUNDRED amps in the process. Typical consumer C cells, such as the Duracell,...

You apparently missed my point yesterday as well as again today when I made the same point again, so I will repeat it below, and then further explain / clarify it:   L Copps wrote: "I worked in an...

The external battery charger does NOT eliminate any chance of this happening. Without a temperature tracking thermistor to sense actual battery temperature, an external charger can overcharge and...

And here are the 2 methods for viewing and selecting images from the WX300 before actually transferring the full sized images. One method shows tiny thumbnails. The other shows full photo views...

The pictures below are screen shots from my iPhone 5 showing the iPhone controlling the WX300 in both still and movie modes.   Note the real time display (same as WX300 viewfinder), the zoom...

The WX300 WiFi works beautifully with the iPhone 5, better than the EyeFi card I bought last year for $99 for use with my HX20 and NEX and alpha cameras. It connects much faster, the iPhone 5 app...

Ron,   The three Sony chargers for the alpha, NEX, and HX batteries each provide 3 contacts connecting to three battery terminals (+ C - ) whereas the fourth Sony charger for the X batteries such...

Wish I could answer that question but I have no experience with the earlier WX model(s). This new WX is really nice if you do NOT want to do manual control but merely point and shoot. You are...

I bought the WX300 from Amazon a few weeks ago, and have posted some of my first samples on this forum. Having purchased many Sony cameras, and just recently buying another HX20V (introduced well...

Ron,   I have 4 Sony chargers here for my 4 Sony cameras, as well as numerous other chargers for camcorders, laptops, and other lithium ion batteries.   All of my lithium ion battery chargers have...

To each his own, Elliott.  My personal preferences really are irrelevant, but I am shocked (an electrical engineering term !) at the amount of misinformation compounded by knock-offs and...

For simplicity purposes, let's assume that Sony uses thermistors with negative temperature coefficients, so called NTC style, one of the two basic types of thermistors. Their resistance is highest...

And this experiment tests for overheat how ? Tests for leak potential how ? Tests for voltage / current variations how ? Tests for number of recycles / endurance how ? Tests for low temperature...

The protective design protects primarily against overheat when charging, NOT during in-camera use / discharge, although it could be also used in this manner as well. Of course. All manufacturers...
