The new Sony Cybershot HX1 has lots of the features of a professional grade camera in a small package.  New upgrades for the camera include 9.1 megapixels, high speed shooting that captures 10 frames per second, high def video recording, 20x optical zoom and a 3 inch LCD viewer screen.

The Sony Cybershot HX1 is the first release from the next generation of Cybershot cameras.  Sony has ensured that the camera is packed with features while still having the ability to fit into a small travel case.  One of the other newest characteristics of the HX1 is the Exmor CMOS sensor.  This sensor reduces background noise when shooting video in high ISO settings.  The sensor also allows for a fast shooting rate that will be helpful for taking action shots.

You can also try out the new shooting mode available through the HX1.  Sweep panorama permits you to swing the camera in order to stitch together a larger landscape that can not fit in one frame.  You can look for the release of the Sony Cybershot HX1 this May.
