Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 9.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 3.0" LCD (Black)
(SNDSCHX1)
Pros: Fast/accurate auto-focus, Great Zoom, Good Image Stabilization, Large Clear LCD, Good in Low Light, Easy To Use, Nice Body Color, Good Image Quality
Cons:
Other Comments: This is a clear step up for those who want a better zoom and DSLR feel from a point and shoot. I never owned a SLR or DLSR but have used both and love them. But for the price point I could never justify buying one given my casual use. This camera , really bridges the 2 types of camera. The zoom on this is incredible - and the multiple shots feature and panorama features are great. The best part though is the 1080p movie mode - The HD movies this takes are amazing - no need to buy a HD camcorder . I bought a 32G memory stick so you can take a ton of 10mp pictures as well as a bunch of HD videos without coming close to filling the card up. If you want something a bit larger than a point and shoot with an amazing 20x zoom - but dont want to step up to a DSLR then this is a great choice. I also read in many places prior to buying this that the picture quality was not great. I can't tell. I compared shots with a Canon Powershot that takes 12mp shots to this and unless I grabbed a microscope they looked the same. If you are casual family photo and video user this is for you. If you are a professional or pro-sumer go with a DSLR.
Yes, I recommend this product

Love the zoom on this camera

Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 9.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 3.0" LCD (Black)
(SNDSCHX1)
Pros: Great Zoom, Good Image Stabilization, Good Image Quality
Cons:
Other Comments: I've had my camera for about six weeks and still getting used to all of the settings. It takes great pictures and I love the zoom the best. The Sweep Panorama is cool and works much better than the normal patch work Panorama like other cameras. It's even cool when I play it back on the camera. One of the reasons I bought this camera was that it didn't require AA batteries. I lucked out because it uses the same battery as my video camera so I have a back-up when the other one is being charged. I'd recommend buying a second battery since you have to take the battery out of the camera to charge it. The only reason I gave it a 4 Star rating instead of a 5 stars is the date feature. I'm a date person and my other cameras give me the option of including the date or not. With this camera, I have to manually put the date on each picture via the computer. However, it has an option to put the date in any of the four corners and I have my choice of red, white, blue and yellow. All in all, I think it's a great camera. Did I mention....I love the zoom. I've included two pictures with and without the zoom. I took them at a movie being filmed in our area. I covered everyone's faces to protect their privacy.

Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 9.1 MP Digital Camera w/ 3.0" LCD (Black)
(SNDSCHX1)
Pros: Good Image Stabilization, Short Lag Time, Easy To Use, Small / Compact, Great Zoom, Large Clear LCD
Cons:
Other Comments: This is not a full size image sensor in an slr body. Good, we've got that behind us. Now with that to set expectations, this is a GREAT camera. Learn the controls and it does your bidding without a fight. Image sharpness is a bit soft, low light is a bit noisy, but in its class acceptable, white balance is great, exposure is great, color in general is very close to being spot on. I find myself doing very little digital editing with these images.
I'm very pleased.

Pros: Great Zoom, Good in Low Light, Good Image Stabilization
Cons: Little bulk
Other Comments: It is a great camara in this market segment. Excellent picture quality in low light. I tried taking photos in night with absolutely no light and still the photos came very clear.
Very good video quality.
Panorama mode is simly awesome.
I am not a professional photographer so could not find any major flaws, but camara design is such that you feel your LCD screen is unprotected. Any fall of camara could risk you LCD.
