i bought this a month ago. brought it in my trip in bohol, philippines. extra features like 20x zoom, handheld twilight, panorama and fast burst really did great jobs for me.

i love the superzoooom. taking great pics of people in a distant without the need to go near and ask permission for their pose. butterfiles need not to disturbed them just to get a good pic of them.

i like taking pics of people in their natural scenes. not only looks natural but tells a lot of story. panaroma was very good taking landscapes and beaches view.

the burst is good as well when taking action scenes like jumping acts. it took series of photos at 9mp per shot at 10fps.

im loving it and doing well for me. just know its features and amximize its potential. for sure you’ll get what you wanted without the bulkiness of dslr. not to mention the high cost of slr.

i bought mine last May of this year 2010.. i actually love this camera, from the battery life, picture quality, quality even at its farthest 20x zoom,editing function,video , LCD brightness, and lightness. I did choose HX1 over an SLR camera.. But i think i like now the new NEX5 of Sony.. still in the process of reviewing its features..

Actually there is an editing function that will do that I believe. You have to be in play mode to view pictures. Then try menu and it will give you some touch up effects you can choose from.

Correct me if I am wrong, apart from the poor picture quality, the Sweep panaroma works only for the still images.
Also, the camera doesn’t have the Color Accent (a feature where the background remains black and white and the subject retains its color), which is expected in an expensive camera like this to create dramatic pictures.
I bought the camera last week and I am thoroughly disappointed.

I also found that the LCD Screen collects dust dust inside which is not expected. Other wise HXI is excellent

I have long been a Sony Fan, I actually sold my Sony F717 to purchase the new HX1 – What a Mistake. The F717 (a 10 year old camera) blows the HX1 away when it comes to Picture Quality. The only draw back to the F717 was Huge Shutter Lag. The Sony HX1 is a Specification Sheet dream – unfortunatly that is where all of the “good” stops. In the end it is the Picture Quality that counts – this thing is exceedingly poor in that department.
