Sony Cybershot DSC WX1




The Sony Cybershot DSC WX1 has a lot more to it than just 10 megapixels and a 5x extra wide angle lens. Sony has used a different type of sensor for the Cybershot DSC WX1. This has lead to a number of advances such as a burst mode that can shoot at up to 10 frames per second.


This high speed capability has also been used to add a feature called a sweep panorama. This is a great feature for shooting sweeping landscapes and cityscapes. All you need to do is place the Cybershot DSC WX1 in the correct mode and pan the camera round. The camera does the difficult bit of stitching the scene together for you. I found the results to be impressive.


Another advantage of the speed at which images can be captured has allowed Sony to introduce a handheld twilight mode. In this mode a series of photos is taken and then overlaid one on top of the other. This can help to produce better quality photos when light starts to dip.


Other features of note include a High Definition movie mode, a 2.7 inch LCD screen and image stabilisation.
