[No-Edit PMA 09] Sony to unveil its panorama camera 'DSC-HX1

[pleasantcrew]

its a shame with a cmos sensor and you still see all that pixelation in the photo

[calumwhelan123]

wow

[evilsnakes1]

1280p video is a lie. it records at 1440x1080 and then upcodes to 1080p. i fucking hate being lied to.

[vrcraft]

@evilsnakes1

well, what you expect from sony ?..canon and ..niki

[camstudiohelper]

i reccomend the hx1, i have one and it is probably one of the best cameras i have ever bought, definelty worth the money, no doubt!

[CrossingDivides]

what about the memory card you had to buy for it? The only problem with sony gear for me, is they monopolize they're accesories only allowing you to use their proprietary cards etc, and you pay almost extra for a Sony Stick compared to the industry SD card or even compact flash.

[CantBanMySkills56]

Is this one newer then the h50

[joepim23]

Yes, the HX1 is the newest camera...I have an H50 since last September, and planning to buy the HX1 soon.

[Breezemann]

This one is as expensive at dslr but which should I choose a dslr or this sony

[Nomadanegra]

Well you'won't get good DSLR with that money. Good models range from 1000€ to tens of thousands. Under 1000€ DSLR is just a hybrid with numerous objectives that'll epty your wallet in no time.

[vis2424]

which camera is better HX-1 or s1?

[theocy1986]

amazing camera but way too expensive guys..

[nazirdjon]

499 that's almost a dslr price with basic lense

[euyooo]

yeah :( but I was thinking I'll not get this HD vedio shooting capability, shooting 10 still frames/sec that's huge!!! and u can't find the tilting screen in the basic DSLR as well and this 9 megapixel is enough for me, and of course don't forget about this panorama stuff !! :D

[CrossingDivides]

actually one of Olympuses budget DSLRs has a tilt screen with 10MP CMOS censor but it doesn't have that gimmicky Panorama shot mode but by the looks of the demo this guy did, it didn't perform too well anyway, you can see a duplicate of the guy in the blue shirts arm etc. Good for starters I guess.

[euyooo]

I really thought about it tooo much!! but finally I can't get this zoom with any affordable DSLR lens!!

this panorama mood as well and HD video !! yeah I can get the new Pentax Kx instead, but what about the zoom ??!!! what about this panorama mood ??!! so finally I decided that I;ll get this for 600AUD then after maybe 2 years I'll get a better DSLR with a quality HD at that time!!

[Matt007b]

drives you nuts when you buy a top of the line sony camera (that looks like that) at 5 megapixel back in 2005...and then years later you see something like this for the exact same price, same looking cam with panoramic mode and 9 mg pixel...:S

cool camera :) hard to justify buying another camera but wow nice camera..

[zolagol]

i can feel your frustration....that is the caveat with tech devices...here today, even better tomorrow....we all know that in about 6 months sony will launch an improved version of this hx1 with 'more accurate shooting' and increased pixels...but you have to make a decision at one point....i usually have a hard time with this and sell my cameras to buy newer ones...it's as if I have a disease...

[Johnpauljone]

tough choice between Panasonic LX3 and this Sony HX1

[EB007911]

ill probably go with the sony rather than the sx1 for two main reasons the sony has 10 fps whilst the sx1 has 4 and the panoramic feature is sweet

[Phill21994]

Yes, thats very nice.

[vis2424]

can u guide me? i do have the same choice .

[tdvu]

is this roughly the same size as the sony dsc-hx1?

[ronaldmossimo]

Canon SX1 vs. Sony HX1? anybody?

[mythyo90]

i wanted to buy sx1 but now changed my mind. it will be Sony HX1! No doubt about it!

[bravemgl]

i just bought it from sony centre 599 evro,everything very easy to use so handy ,i m soo excited its great

[vis2424]

why?????????

[atyl1972]

did anyone see the blurry arm of the guy with blue shirt in the panoramic pic?

cant be that good

[843]

that guy was moving.

[atyl1972]

exactly, the image stabalization is not very good then is it?

[j0vencio]

if you heard it very clearly, that was the moment when the individual shots are made, before the camera stitched them all together.

[TomtenT]

No. You can hear it very clearly he says:

"And you can see the panorama I just shot, right here on the LCD.

This is a 110 degree panorama - you can even playback the shots themselves

to see how the individual shots were TAKEN AND STICHED TOGETHER, in just amoment."

That means the camera at that point is showing the result of its stiching.

And the result in this case is a man appearing in a couple of different shots - because he was moving. (It's not particulary blurry)

[Username2invalid]

The guy was moving in the same direction as the camera, so the camera captured him in several shots.
