The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 is one of the new hybrid digital still cameras that can be used to shoot good-quality video. It has a massive 20x zoom lens and lots of manual features. It’s a 9-megapixel camera with a 28-560mm zoom lens, and unlike most co...

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 is a 9.1MP superzoom with CMOS sensor and stabilised 20x (28-560mm equivalent) zoom lens. It has a three-inch folding LCD, 10fps continuous shooting, sweep panorama, low noise and anti-blur modes. As well as a 1080p movie-ca...
Good This Sony’s 20x zoom lens isn’t just a lens, it’s a force of nature. From a wideangle that can accommodate Jonathan Ross’s ego to a telephoto that can (just) make out the Jonas Brothers’ talent, the stabilised optics are cris...
Bad How often do you zoom in to the inside of someone’s nose? If you don’t need the longer reaches of the huge lens, a budget SLR like the Nikon D60 costs and weighs about the same, but with a crystal clear optical viewfinder instead of a cramped...
Bottom line Japanese Sony’s most American camera yet: the big, brash HX1 chews gum and deafens cowering compacts with its 20x zoom and endless feature list. However, average picture quality is all mouth and no (plaid) ‘pants’. Best offers for the So...

These days you’re rather spoilt for choice when it comes to super zoom compacts, and so it’s simply not enough to offer a camera sporting an extra-long zoom; you’ve got to make it stand out in the crowd. Sony reckons the DSC-HX1 offers something specia...

Sony has brought its Exmor CMOS technology to the super-zoom arena in the form of the 9.1-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-HX1. Styled like a mini-DSLR - but too big to be pocketable - the HX1 is the highest-priced model on the current market. However, it boas...
