Sony DSC HX1

Sony DSC HX1

The Sony Cybershot DSC HX1 is an advanced digital camera with a 20x optical zoom lens. It has a CMOS sensor. This is a different type of sensor to the common CCD type that you find on the vast majority of compact digital cameras. The CMOS type is more commonly found on Digital SLRs. The advantage of the CMOS sensor is that it helps to reduce noise and also allows for faster capture of shots. This increases the number of frames per second that can be captured even when shooting at full resolution. In the case of the Cybershot DSC HX1 you can capture photos at up to 10 frames per second. This is likely to be advantageous if you shoot fast moving subjects. Examples of this could be sports or wildlife photography.

Other key features include the ability to shoot high definition footage, image stabilisation and a 3 inch LCD screen that can be tilted to a more convenient shooting angle.
