Sony Cybershot HX1 Details
Editors' Comments
The Sony Cybershot DSC-HX1 is looking to make a real splash this year, pairing a long-range 20x optical zoom lens with full HD video recording. That's an impressive set of features, and a nice return to form for Sony, who have lagged behind competitors like Olympus and Panasonic in the extended zoom category they once were so strong in. The HX1 is a solid, powerful digital camera for people who are serious about their photos and want a versatile tool backing them up.
