CANON SX1 IS VERSUS SONY DSC HX1 DIGITAL CAMERA THAT DOESNT NEED TO CATCH ITS BREATH A POINT AND SHOOT CAMERA WITH HIGH SPEED CONTINUOUS PHOTO SHOOTING

---

Previously I wrote about my quest for a point and shoot camera that can take continuous photos at high speed without pausing for air. What am I talking about? You know how when you see an interview with some big shot or a presidential news conference how the photographers all seem to have cameras that are going click click repeatedly? I talked about the new Canon SX1 IS that has a continuous full frame 10 megapixel continuous shooting mode. Sony is introducing a competitor called the Sony DSC HX1 that can take 10 frames per second in full resolution at 9 .1 megapixels. But that seems to be a burst of 10 shots and then a pause may be required.

Both the Sony and Canon use a faster CMOS sensor instead of the CCD sensor common in digital point and shoot cameras.

"The Sony Cybershot HX1 boasts a 20x Zoom 28mm-560mm "G" lens, 9 Megapixel Exmor 1/2.4" CMOS sensor, and a BIONZ processor. Clearly, these are proven technologies borrowed from the Alpha line. The Sony HX1 also features other neat tricks under its skin. Features like full 9mp resolution 10fps still image recording, 1080p HD Video with Stereo Sound recording (at up to 30fps), a one of a kind Panorama mode that stitches several images automatically in camera (with only one press of the shutter), and a real mechanical shutter apparently to help eliminate image distortion electronic shutters can sometimes introduce".
