Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 user reviews

Pros The variety of features one can use and the outstanding video. Image quality is excellent. Very good lens. The speed and accuracy of exposure.

Cons I just can't understand why Sony did not allow for attachmets such as a lens hood or uv filter ...polarizer etc. to be added to the lens. Also,..the lens cap flies off when you turn on the camera. DA !

Summary I like the camera quality and features. Some things however were not conceived very well that you would never expect to be omitted ...see Cons. I am going to try and find a lens hood that can attach to the outer barrel. Sony ..why the baloney ?

Pros The Size and Weight and Features "for what is does is amazing '' it is not a canon 5d11 but it is on the way..

Cons If you take the time to work around the biggest weakness which is the progressive shutter on pulling either a left or right hand shoot it causes the video to have a serious skipping look on the HD.. and not enough pixels ..

Summary I looked at several applications and other similar products and bang for dollar this is very cool. No need to carry 4 lens, fits in my jacket pocket.. and you are your own indie film maker...Audio is excellent ... try before you buy...The Panoramic is excellent, the low light setting is great, the HDR feature is cool ...and for multi media and web applications this is a mix of what you need in one simple application put a bit of soft foam over the mic and you are away!!

Pros sports mode fantastic, i use for equestrian shots and have not been disappointed, panorama setting is awesome no stitching required. HD video very good

Cons no raw or hot-shoe but for this type of camera i dare say this will not be a problem for most people

Summary In a nut shell a good all round camera so if your not into carrying around lots of lenses this could be the one for you

Pros All is good!

Cons When you take more than 1 picture/s, the camera needs time to record.
