SONY CYBERSHOT HX-1
arrow, which appears once you half de-press the shutter button. Make sure your movements are smooth otherwise you get some funny looking in camera stitching. High Speed Continuous Not very common among compact cameras the Sony HX-1 allows one to shoot a continuous burst of ten frames a second. One step away from a film camera it is a feature we didn’t pay much attention to because of the next feature. HD Video The HX1 would not be complete if it did not come out sporting 1080P High Definition video with the added benefit of stereo sound recoding. If you are already the proud owner of a Sony Home theater system anything you record will play back beautifully on a HD Bravia screen.
Conclusion What are the final thoughts on this camera? Well as I mentioned at the beginning of the review, I have never been a big fan of hybrid cameras, and I’m not advocating them now, but the HX1 has changed my outlook on this market segment. This camera offers an impressive range of 26mm-580mm 35mm zoom equivalent range in a compact, comfortable, easy to use body. Image quality is great and my only reservation is the suggested retail price of R7500.00, which might still swing you to a DSLR if better image quality is important to you.
