How are Bot!

Before to order Sony DSC-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 cannot easily reach this zoom range unless you are rich enough and strong enough to bring those lenses in your backpack.

Possibility 2: Great picture quality with the sharpness comparable to most low-end DSLRs if you have enough kownledge and technics of photograghy, for example by adjusting ISO, aperture or speed etc. HX1 offers almost all features you can find in DSLRs when you turn the mode dial to M,A,S,P. The best picture is not made by the camera, it’s by your brain. Sony HX1’s professional G lens made the good quality possible.

Possibility 3: Great sharp HD Video with stereo sound,you can record video as long as your memory card can hold, with a 16GB card you can easily take hours of HD video. The resolution of 1440×1080p is already sharp and smooth enough and when you watch your video with TV or computer, what you see is the same video quality as full HD at 1980×1080. Yes, Canon SX1 has the REAL 1980×1080, but it has a limitation of 4GB or 30 min, while its’ video file MOV is much larger which can quickly occupy all your memory card. Canon T1i has HD video too, but it’s with mono sound and same limitation.

Possibility 4: Graet performance with low light conditions.HX1’s unique Hand-held Twilight and Anti-Motion Blur modes are so cool that you don’t need a tripod to shoot good pictures at night, in church or any indoor occasion. They are both based on Sony’s technology of combining 6 speedy shot pictures into one final photo.Besides, you have the option to change ISO up to 3200.

Possibility 5: HX1’s Panorama (both horizontal or vertical)is the only fantastic feature you can find now in the whole world.

Possibility 6: Very friendly nevigation Menu lets your job simple,easy and convenient.

Possibility 7: Camera body is very solid but light weight with Sony’s stylish design.

Possibility 8: High-speed shoot at 10frames/s with full resolution,so you never miss the important moments when your kids play sports. It’s the highest speed which even surpasses the high-end DSLRs. Though it has a limit of 10 pics per shoot and a 17-second waiting time to saves these pics, as an ordinary amateur I’m satisfying with this feature.

Possibility 9: You can add many cool digital color filters through the built-in menu to gain the same result of the real filters.

However, the only cons I noticed right now are the limit of 10 continuous shoots and the design of the tilt LCD.It’s better to let LCD reversible(like Canon SX1)so I can protect the screen easily. I highly recommand to apply a protective film with your LCD.

I’d like to rank SONY HX-1 with 6 or 5+ stars if it’s possible. You’ll not regret to own such a great combination of all possibilities at a right price range for our amateurs. The bottom line is, if you are not in the industry of publishing,advertising or media, you probably need only this camera along with your journey around the world, no matter you need high-quality,high-zoom,high-speed,HD Video,high-ISO,panorama,low-light shoot,low-light weight, HX-1 offers you all.

Good luck!

I received this two days ago and was really unsure about the Canon T1i. I’ve read what scant reviews existed on Amazon and became somewhat concerned about the complaints of soft images. In the brief time I tested it I noticed my shots were coming out soft as well compared to my S3. Then after toying around with the settings I found that the “Standard” profile’s sharpness was set on low. Not having dug that deep into the menu system, I believe it was the default setting making the images really soft. I now have it on max, or near max, and am more satisfied with the images. While increasing sharpness, images remain really smooth even at high ISOs. Overall, I’m more satisfied with the unit now that I’ve got the image sharpening down. With that said I still have more deliberating to do.

A note about video: I do enjoy having the video capability on the camera only because you can set the WB, unlike a Flip. I can’t squeeze 1080 out of my system anyway so 720 works just fine. As others have pointed out, the autofocus is a bit odd to get used to but manageable in video. You’re better off shooting fixed distances. Noise is loud during focus, but if you’re putting together a clip most likely you’ll overlap it with an audio track instead.
