As PMA 2009 cranks up, Sony has rolled out its DSC-HX1 20x Superzoom digital camera, which it claims is the first "digital still camera to feature sweep panorama technology." What that means is that avid landscape snappers can make use of the camera's ability to shoot ultra-wide shots up to 224-degree horizontal or 154-degree vertical. This is made possible by the use of 9.1MP CMOS sensor [like those on digital SLR cameras] and a faster mechanical shutter which allows the HX1 burst speeds of 10 frames per second at full 9.1MP resolution. Just set the camera to ultra wide, press the button and sweep it across your desired subject and the BIONZ imaging processor will automatically stitch the pictures together to create one panoramic photo. Neat trick. The maximum resolution is 7152 x 1080 (ultra wide horizontal).Other notable features on the HX1 are its 20x optical zoom while the new CMOS sensor promises to take clearer images with about "50% less noise" than traditional sensors when in handheld twilight or anti-blur modes. The HX1 is first Cyber-shot camera to include a Sony G lens and 1080p HD movie recording. Movies are captured at 30 frames per second (1440 x 1080) in the MPEG4 AVC/H.264 format. There is a supplied HDMI accessory [but not HDMI cable] for watching video on your HDTV. The HX1 is coming out next month and UK prices have yet to be released but, it will cost around £355 in the US.-Martin Lynch camera photos
