I find it hard to believe that a 50x zoom is not made to be used with a remote. Is it true that a wired or wireless remote cannot be used?

Sony sells a tripod with a remote, but it isn't wireless. It has a cord that connects to the camera. You can zoom, focus and take pictures with the remote. I have taken pictures of Jupiter and its moons and have some decent shots of Saturn (you can actually tell that it is Saturn even though there isn't a lot of detail). Without this tripod, it is frustrating trying to stay focused on somthing as distant as Jupiter or Saturn.

At Sony's own website, under accessories recommended specifically for this camera, they show a VCT-VPR1 tripod that states it has fast/slow zoom control. I don't have one and can't say how it works with the DSC-HX300, best source for compatibility would be Sony themselves.

I do not find any information on a remote, or find a place to attach one to this camera.I have read the manual and visited the Sony website.

Yes Sir! I checked it out and it's 100% comparable with the CanonSX50. I enjoy my remote and I'm sure you will too. Great price.

I find that it works well, you have two Zoom switches and the rocker I believe has 3 speed settings fast, slow and normal. besides the zoom rocker on the camera, you have another on thne detachable handle, you can zoom using the zoom ring and you can zoom using the wireless remote.

The wireless remote does work- I have the Cannon 7D EOS. It does take a bit of time to learn the steps needed to get the setup working. It is a harder to explain to someone else, Make sure you are in direct view of the sensor on the camera or it will not get the signal--this occurs if you have the camera on a tripod and you are NOT in front. Practice outside and find out what impact there is on the signal. Check battery--need fresh fully charged to get bet distance and response.

No. The remote can be anywhere in the area with the camera. I bought this to record motorcycle rides. I usually keep the camera on my jacket near my chest and the remote is attached to a belt loop on my pants. I reach down, press the button, there is a half second delay, and the device starts recording.

It can be used both wired and wireless. I prefer to have them wired. But if you plan to use it wireless just make sure that your wireless router signal can reach where you place the camera. I use a wifi analyzer on my smart phone.

My camera *did* come with a small remote control (WL-D89). It can be used to zoom, but you can't vary it.Edited to add: I just confirmed via the CanonUSA website that it is supposed to ship with the WL-D89.

No wired remote. But the wireless does bounce off of walls. This unit exceeded all my expectations.

Not wireless . You cannot zoom in or out . They do work pretty good in total darkness . And the have an app that's free to use on smartphone You can see 4 cameras at once or you scroll through each one . They are great for the money .

According Pixel website, their wireless shutter remote controls are not compatible with Canon SX50 digital camera. Ese www.pixelhk.com

I checked the system requirements guide that came with the camera and it states that 'remote viewing' can be used with a PC or Mac, however, there is nothing to indicate that it can be set up with a Mac OS and in the setup manual there is only reference to a Windows OS. Check with Logitech first. It is a great video surveillance system nevertheless.

The zoom function is part of the flash, not the remote trigger. You can only adjust power levels remotely.

Does the ML-L3 wireless remote work in bulb mode, so I can keep the shutter open for as long as I press the release? Or do I need a wired remote to do that?

Yes, the remote is very powerful. You adjust everything through it. It does not control focus or zoom though.

The remote control can activate it, yes. It's able to adjust a whole lot of features on the device: volume, sharpness, aspect ratio, as well as preset color temperatures, gamma, and 3-D modes, but zoom and focus are left to your own hand.

I don't about the 123GSX, but it will NOT work without a separate remote control. There are multiple models of remote control that will work with it, but it seems pretty preposterous to me that it won't work without a remote and it doesn't COME WITH at least a basic model remote to use.

It's not a wireless remote, so it does need to be connected by wires. Therefore proximity is not a factor.
