i found out that in panorama mode you have just 10 seconds to shot the panorama, after 10 sec camera stops, so neither too slow nor too fast is good And another thing that i didn't find anywhere on the internet or review: the camera has a motion sensor inside and when you shot in portrait mode it automatically rotates the photo in playback mode and saves it the way you shot it. so if you shot a panorama horizontally but in vertical mode, that will come up horizontally.nice (bad english, I know)
I have this camera and a G5 mac, they work fine together. Just plug the usb cable in and it reads it like another drive. There is no Sony software for video editing on Mac, but you can easily use Imovie HD or several others. Great camera.
If you are considering the Sony HX-1 or Canon SX1 IS, you should also consider the Casio EX-F1 because it has a focus ring around the lens, a external mic jack, a hot shoe, a threaded lens for UV filters, and slow motion (if you want something fun). Hard to believe it's from Casio. The problem is the price.
The WX1 it is a pocket camera a basic camera to everybody, easy menu, easy to learn; the XH1 has more features is a semi professional camera with great zoom, What do you want to bring?, a small bag or your pocket?
@derkakid1 hi there, do you mean depth of field? bokeh? if so then i am not 100% sure as i did not have the camera long enough however, if you're after a camera that is not quite as expensive as a dslr ( depending on dslr price range ) the new sony csc camera the nex-5 is worth a shout, it's won quite a few awards lately
Hi i want to buy sony camera and i have two options, Sony DSC HX1 and Sony DSC HX5V but i am bit confuse can some help me by giving your recommendations that which one good.
But a beautiful night. I have a Sony camera model ( DSC-HX1 ) and I want the best tuning her to take a picture of the night clear and beautiful and without impurities possible ... help me ..?
@atyl1972 Einstein. Point and shoot cameras use lenses, and have Aperture priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual Mode. It's the sensor, and it's size that make the real difference in image quality.
@hstjkt hey dont call them idiots. they still made good choices in choosing this camera. careful with your words. i know its okay to express opinions, but hey, say it in a nice way.
Canon SX1 spec - 4fps to full memory size,remote,RAW+jpeg,Full HD 1920x1080,10MP,dedicated video button,LCD practically flexible (up,down,left,right,back,front etc.).Only price is the problem.
¡Good question... we have to ask to SONY why!... also doesn't have, night shot, remot contro, raw formatl and other things, I prefer wait to the next year to a new advanced camera to with more zoom, better lens, better cmos sensor, format raw; I have the H50 and it is very very good.
@manubobyvarghese Yea! me too.. Many people tells that this is more good than nikon p100. and other negative comment about nikon p100 is when you are pressing the zoom button, the zoom is so noisy and it's like cracking up. :) well cheers to you too!
the difference is.... a dslr uses lenses which makes it more usable in photography....quality on this camera will not match a dslr..... dslr has more in camera functionaliyt, such as, aperture settings, shutter settings and so on... dslr are known for better quality sensors inside the camera and are generally quicker to process pictures as well as adjust internally for recomposition.i have owned this camer and all beit a nice camera it is in no league near the quality of a dslr with a good lens
hmm.. 10fps for 1 second only,no remote,no RAW format,not very full HD (1920x1080),9.1MP only,no dedicated video button,LCD up and down only...i think Canon SX1 is is much better,except for the price.anyway still a very good camera.
Go with the HX1 the Nikon isn't even made by Nikon it justs has their name on it. The picture qaulity is also supposed to be bad because of the lenses. Trust me I love Nikon and was really dissappointed with it.
Very Interesting feature but the result of the image is not good. I return to the store for a refund. Need a better sensor. Wait for the next generation.

Got this camera & I must say its one of the best bridge cams available..
I didn’t know how to charge it and this video helped me so much!! ✅✅

I Bought the Camera 3 hours ago, Amazing Camera for real.

Another great review.
How long can you record videos? Does it have a limit of 10 minutes per clip?

Please Please REPLY! i have to decide between this Camera or the Canon G11.. which delivers better quality photos? thankyou
Hi i want to buy sony camera and i have two options, Sony DSC HX1 and Sony DSC HX5V but i am bit confuse can some help me by giving your recommendations that which one good.

+TheBorgCollective Why do you, is it? I did not understand you !!
Good video review! I love Sony digi products!

what is the different between this camera and dslr?
this camera is so good for recording a video but can i ask something, is this compatible to record a lot of videos in the same time?
@MrJallen13 Idk if you already got that answer, but you can put a fish eye on it. They sell adapters for that.
Thanks for this review! Helps alot. :)
can the battery be used for a dcr hc21 video camera

The H50 lacks so many features that the HX1 has, most of all the HD recording feature.
Canon SX1 spec - 4fps to full memory size,remote,RAW+jpeg,Full HD 1920x1080,10MP,dedicated video button,LCD practically flexible (up,down,left,right,back,front etc.).Only price is the problem.
This one versus Casio EX FH20 who won?
"Power in your hands" XD
Is it good now?
I got one and now I realised how old it is- hopefully it works
great video
Como faz pra tirar a lente dessa câmara para limpar?
@YTmember06 me too! i was looking at both of them at best buy for the same price...
12 anos e eu querendo compra hj essa camera kk
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Popular opinion, answer me. you thing that this camera is good ?
why NO closed captioned in here video
@DevonDerksMusic Go for the nikon d3000 its dslr and its at the same price
What’s the longest lap that it can record? And how long does the battery lasts??
I nearly bought this camera...until I saw the image and pixel quality. compact SLR's just aren't ready for CMOS sensors.
That camera resembles the SLT A55 and A33
still no menu focus,isn't it?
Bro how I can set it to English?
How change the language
i get mine tomorrow :D
yes,even SX1 suffer same noise problem,just not as worse as HX1.

only on higher ISO
You didn't really need to write all that! lol, the difference is DSLR's use mirrors.
@federaikkonerer 2 GB, like 30 minutes at max
hmm.. 10fps for 1 second only,no remote,no RAW format,not very full HD (1920x1080),9.1MP only,no dedicated video button,LCD up and down only...i think Canon SX1 is is much better,except for the price.anyway still a very good camera.
@EnriqueVas00 Yes
you think megapixel = quality? It is NOT. Its just the camera resolution.
Go with the HX1 the Nikon isn't even made by Nikon it justs has their name on it. The picture qaulity is also supposed to be bad because of the lenses. Trust me I love Nikon and was really dissappointed with it.
Very Interesting feature but the result of the image is not good. I return to the store for a refund.

does an sd card go in the camera ?? because he says memory card... xD ?
@smokiemcpot2 390 shots without flash
but a 450d can not hd ... only the 500d but he is expensive..
SX1 ISO is way worse compared to the HX1.
@emzacify i guess yes.
@emzacify almost 530$.
"itch-ex-one"
(sigh)
@YTmember06
No.
The only Cybershot H series worth owning is the H2. Everything else is useless!
sony cameras look cheap
buy nikon
