11 MB built in memory; capture images to Memory Stick Duo/Memory Stick Pro Duo media (not included)

Anti blink, Face Priority and Red eye Reduction functions

Dimensions (Approx.) : W x H x D: 114.5mm x 82.8mm x 91.8mm (4 5/8" x 3 3/8" x 3 5/8")

Weight (Approx.) : Approx. 1.8oz. (504g) With battery and Memory Stick media.

The Sony Cyber shot DSC HX1 camera with Exmor CMOS technology offers up to 10fps shooting and features Sweep Panorama mode that can seamlessly combine multiple shots to produce striking images, advance modes that reduce noise by approximately 50 percent even in difficult shooting situations, as well as 1080p movie recording. Additionally it features professional quality 20x wide angle G lens, 3.0 inch tiltable LCD screen and Intelligent Auto mode.

The HX1 features a 9.1 megapixel Exmor CMOS image sensor that brings out the full resolving power of the cameras precision G Lens to deliver extremely fast speed, high resolution, and stunning low light sensitivity with improved image clarity and drastically reduced noise. With 9.1 megapixels, you can create stunning, photo quality prints up to 13 x 19 inches, or crop your images and still come away with high resolution shots.

Designed and manufactured to the highest standards of optical performance, the Sony G Lens is optimized to perfectly complement the advanced image sensors and image processing technology in Sonys cameras. G lenses are used in top of the line digital single lens reflex (DSLR) cameras and advanced pro sumer HD Camcorders. Capture the action up close with the 20x optical zoom, and with the 28mm wide angle lens the HX1 even allows you to capture more of the scenes in landscape or group portraits. The HX1s G Lens has a six blade aperture capable of producing a beautiful bokeh (beautifully defocused backgrounds with a soft natural feel). The aspherical lens elements made from ED (extra low dispersion) minimize chromatic aberration common to high magnification lenses.

20x optical zoom extends your reach and helps bring you closer to the action a real benefit for sporting events, wildlife, distant landscape views and dramatic portrait shots.

Widen your view and capture more of the city, landscape, or group with a 28mm wide angle G lens.

3.0 inch Clear Photo LCD tilt display (230k pixels)

Compose and show off your images on the large 3.0 inch (230K) Clear Photo LCD Plus display, which tilts up or down approximately 90 degrees for easier high and low angle shooting and features a special anti reflective coating for sharp visibility, even in bright sunlight.

Enjoy extremely high resolution, fine tonal gradation and fast speed that faithfully reproduces every detail of your subject and reduces visual noise. The Exmor CMOS sensor brings out the full potential of the lens to ensure clear, high precession image quality.

The BIONZ image processor delivers the high resolution and fast performance you expect from a Sony digital camera.

The HX1 can capture full 9.1 megapixel resolution images at up to 10 fps, helping to ensure you never miss the decisive moment. Whats more, the HX1 employs a mechanical shutter that helps reduce distortion when continuously shooting moving subjects.

Reach beyond the traditional wide angle lens, and capture more breathtaking shots with the Sweep Panorama Mode. Simply press the shutter button and sweep the camera in the desired direction (horizontal or vertical), and the camera continuously shoots at a high speed and then seamlessly stitches the images together to create one stunning panoramic image. Available in wide and ultrawide options, the camera can take panoramic shots of up to 224 degrees, which is wider than a fish eye lens. Now capturing wide landscapes or church spires or skyscrapers are as easy and press and sweep.

Capture cleaner and sharper night shots without using a tripod. When set to Handheld Twilight Mode, the HX1 captures six images in a fraction of a second with one press of the shutter, keeping the moving object from one and superimposing the rest of the frame from the 6 images doubling the sensitivity to create a single optimized image with 50 percent less noise than an image shot with a camera with a traditional image sensor.

2009 is already shaping up to be another bumper year for the superzoom 'bridge' camera. Since the publication of our superzoom test at the start of this year there have been a number of new models released with new features such as bigger zooms, better video and fast burst modes. Sony's entry in this category, the HX1, features a 20x lens (that extends from 28mm at the wide end all the way to 560mm at the telephoto end), HD video recording, a large 3' tilting LCD screen, up to 10 frames per second continuous shooting speeds, and special shooting modes that help you get better pictures easier. All this built around an all new CMOS sensor.

Until recently, almost all compact (small sensored) cameras were built around CCD sensors. This is because CMOS sensors have more circuitry built into the chip than CCD sensors and, with less room for actually capturing light, noise and noise reduction issues will have a detrimental effect on image quality.

Manufacturers have been working on these problems with CMOS sensors for a number of years in DSLR cameras, where all but the cheapest models feature CMOS sensors. Canon, which has been at the forefront of this CMOS sensor development, released the CMOS sensored SX1 IS which we reviewed last month. Given Sony's heavy involvement in the sensor design and fabrication industry it is not surprising that it has followed suit with the CMOS based HX1.

While the Canon PowerShot SX1 IS utilizes its CMOS sensor to record 1080p (30fps) HD video, a fast 4fps continuous shooting speed, and offers RAW file recording, the HX1 uses its CMOS technology in some less conventional ways. The first of these is a super fast (as fast as the top end professional sports cameras) 10 fps continuous shooting. This relies not only on the sensor's speedy processing but also on a fast physical shutter, which in turn enables three unique shooting modes: Sweeping panorama (which stitches panoramas together as you shoot), Anti Motion Blur (which takes 6 images, and combines them to try and minimise the amount of blur in an image) and Twilight mode (which uses 6 stacked images to reduce the noise produced in images shot in low light situations).

While the HX1 may not feature RAW file recording, there are many manual settings such as three noise reduction settings, many white balance settings, a full range of manual modes, and many others for the photographer who wants ultimate control. Does this combine to make a compelling package that should command your money? Lets find out in our review.
