Want to capture the really BIG picture, like breathtaking landscapes and city scenes? The HX1 is the world's first digital still camera with Sweep Panorama**. This new shooting mode stitches together a high-speed burst of frames to produce an extra-wide, high resolution image. Just press the shutter button once then sweep the camera to create seamless panoramic shots.

You’d be right to expect serious optical performance to match such advanced shooting features. The HX1 sports a precision-engineered G Lens by Sony with a powerful 20x optical zoom range. There’s plenty of power to pull distant scenes closer without compromising quality.
It’s complemented by a 28mm wide angle lens performance to pack more into family groups, party scenes, landscapes and more. And if you’re shooting without a tripod, Optical SteadyShot cuts camera shake, keeping things crisp and clear at all zoom settings.
