BEST COMBINATION OF POSSIBILITIES
Before to order Sony HX1 through Amazon, I did a lot of reserch works with all possible information online, my considerations were among Canon SX1,Canon T1i, Nikon P90 and Sony HX1.Now after almost two weeks of practice with Sony HX1,I can surely to say it's really the best combination of all cool possibilities you can find on current market:
Possibility 1: Super optical Zoom up to 34X( equv. to 952mm)if you use 1.7x tele-conversion lens which is not offered by Canon SX1. DSLRs ca...

The perfect stop gap camera - Two weeks use report
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) I was somewhat scarred as a youth having to carry around a huge film SLR. Looking back now I appreciate the film quality, but it made me a point and click user for most of my adult life. Now that I have a child, I really wanted to get back to the best possible picture quality and also capture HD movies.
The HX1 is exactly the camera I need and can afford right now. The photo q...

Awesome camera!
I just took this camera on a 2 week trip to Brazil and Argentina and I absolutely love it! I have owned 5 Sony cameras and this is the best that I've seen. Prior to this, I've had 4 point-and-and-shoot cameras from the cybershot series as well as the DSLR A100. I travel extensively, so I mostly use the camera for scenic shots. I've had the A100 for about 3 years now. While I am happy with the image quality, it does weigh quite a bit especially if you have to carry 2 lenses with it. Also, my fian...

Solid performer, user friendly, tons of features
Had this camera for about a week now and have already taken hundreds of photos and hours of video, it's difficult to put down. Simply stated, this camera is ideal for anyone wanting a technologically superior, intermediate/advanced, point and click digital camera, without the knowledge required or hassle of a DSLR. The panorama feature worked flawlessly right out of the box, just be careful not to have fast moving objects in the frame. The gorgeous, articulating LCD is a godsend. Expected a litt...

Great camera but no DSLR
** Modified 05-08-09 by adding nitpick #5 :) ***
I had been a digital point-and-shoot camera person for about 12 years, since the Canon Powershot 100. Over that time, I've upgraded to various Powershot models until 2 years ago, got a Sony A100 DSLR. I love that camera and have lots of fun taking pictures with it.
For work, we had been using my A100 to take product photos. It was nice having a remote, and all of the great DSLR features that come along with that camera. B...

Fantastic Camera
This camera is fantastic. I have had it for about almost a week and I can honestly say, it takes beautiful photos. The zoom really gets out there, and even the smart zoom works well. I usually do not use the digital zoom, but it works when you need it. The burst mode is awesome when you use it. Great for sports photos. I shot some baseball team practice photos and it just stops the action. The twilight mode works well and even the high ISO shots are acceptable. The panoramic mode is cool...

Much better than anticipated. Pre-sale reviews are overly critical
I was looking for a new digital camera to replace my Leica V-Lux 1 which a bought a couple of years ago. I sold the Leica and was planning to use the money to buy a current camera. My dilemma was whether to stay with a super zoom camera (flaws and all) or take a step toward an entry model DSLR. I also wanted a 2009 model as I wanted the most current technology available so I would be less inclined to feel the need to buy an "upgrade" in another year or so. Ultimately, I narrowed my search do...

Few months ago I got H50. I loved it but hated the noise level on pics. I gave it back hoping that Sony will come out with something new. And here it is!!! I've had it for 3 days now and cant say anything except for LOVE iT!! Hand-hend twighligt takes good quality pics. intelligent auto works good, sometimes when used with zoom it gets confused and switches to macro and gives blurry pics, but...still love it!!! Battery life is very good, it shows on the display how many minutes you have left ( ...

Strikes the right balance
I struggled over a 4 or 5 star rating for this product but ultimately believe that Sony has delivered an excellent package in the HX1. The other cameras I considered prior to purchasing the HX1 were several DSLRs, which I ruled out due to lack of support for video and the Canon SX1. The tipping points for me on the Sony were the panorama, twilight steady shot and high speed burst modes.
The image quality is absolutely excellent and there are more than enough program modes to help you...

Very good camera that has it all
Only had this camera for 2 days but I can tell you I really enjoy having it already. Very easy to use, very smart auto mode, image stabilization and auto focus. Great quality pictures and videos as well as sound. Love the panorama mode. Love the features: anti-blur, 20x zoom, pictures taken in low lit environments, and the ability to plug it right in to my HDTV!
