Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1

By (cnet.com)

Fast ; tiltable LCD ; Hand-held Twilight mode produces better-than-average photos in low light ; zooms during movie capture

Best Multi-purpose Camera

By ViperJet (sonystyle.com)

This has got to be the best camera out there. At least under $1,000 that is. There is no other that does video as well. Let alone HD video. The format is easily transferable to computer and the quality is unmatched. Pictures, wow you have to pay a premium...

By Anonymous (sonystyle.com)

Bought this camera last week specifically for a trip through the panama canal. Fantastic clarity and easy of use.. Went to rain forest to capture pictures of animals, etc. Amazing details. The 10 frames per second were especially useful for hummingbirds....

Everything is all good with this very powerful camera

Zoom...sometimes using 20x looses focus
