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..

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...

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

@evilsnakes1

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

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

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!!

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.

[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.

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.

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

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!
