I was looking for a digital camera from the day when I started my First Blog IsloooTalkingPoint which is about my love Islamabad the beautiful capital of Pakistan and one of the first metropolitan city of South Asia .
The Sony HX1
20x optical zoom digital camera is exactly the camera I need and can afford right now. The photo quality is the best I've experienced in years and the HD video
is top notch. My previous cameras, the Sony T500 and W290 had very good 720p HD video. The HX1 1080p HD
video is noticeably better. After two weeks and weekends of use, here are my pros and cons:

· Great photo quality
· Full size HDMI cable support. It comes with an adapter so you can use any HDMI cable
which is much cheaper than buying a Mini HDMI cable
which is much cheaper than buying a Mini HDMI cable · Camera feels very solid
· Panorama mode is fun, especially if you print it out
sound is great· Great feel in your hands, comfortable grip
· LCD is nice and big. Swivel screen feature gets used a lot
· Automatic mode gets the perfect shot most of the time
· I love that there are different levels of shooting
modes including full manual. I feel this is the perfect trainer before moving to a full SLR

Cons
· Camera
turns on and off fairly quickly, but not instant (fast enough that I haven't missed any photo ops though)

swiveled to protect the screen. I highly recommend a screen protector as the LCD rubs against your chest when using the neck strap

is the perfect camera for those seeking great photos, sharp HD video, and a high zoom for a price more affordable than a full SLR
with HD video and high zoom lens. When I visit friends and family, the HDMI cable is so easy to plug in to HDTVs
for quick viewings. At home, I connect my pro duo card to the PS3 which reads the data flawlessly.
I think it is very important to figure out exactly what you really want out of your camera so you get a good fit that matches your expectations. So for me, low light picture quality was not a major concern as I expected to use the camera mostly outdoors or in good lighting situations. And in-door shots were probably going to be portraits or museum shots so again it was not a big concern for me.
