to Brad: kathi said p90 and not d90. the p90 is a nikon superzoom (same category) not d90 which is dSLR
to kathi: p90 has 24x zoom is bigger and 640×480 video to hx1’s 20x zoom lighter and smaller and 1440×1080 video and cmos that gives you good speed. the only thing wrong is the memory stick duo pro of the sony.

If video is important… then the Sony is the better option… Video on the D90 has some limitations, and just isn’t very easy to use… especially with any kind of action. Enjoy your new Sony…

The tool versus toy description twigged my thinking. I’m looking for a replacement for my SONY dsc-S75 which I have had since 2001. It has been a terrific camera. Very tough and has survived many drops, even one in the lake but I want a better zoom and faster ready time between shots plus I love to have the movie mode so I think I will go with the HX1 instead of an SLR digital. It is so hard to make up my mind!

Kathi,

The short answer is the D90… but it really depends on your budget, and your needs…. With all due respect to the HXI… the D90 is a tool and the HXI is a toy…

I spent some time with this camera at PMA… and was very impressed. Sony had a great demo station set up, that allowed you to test all the major functions… and all worked very well. Of all the hybrid cameras, this was my favorite…

I got the H2 for Christmas several years ago. I am a true sony fan. I loved my H2 but then the H50 came out. My husband and I had looked at it several times over that past year, but the pricewas too high for us to afford. Then our Circuit City began their going-out-of-business sale! He got me the new H50 for Valentine’s Day, and I LOVE IT! This camera even has a night vision feature. I just took my first portraits with it, and they came out really good. The 6 month old I was photographing wasn’t in the best of teething moods, but I still got the shots. This camera has a remote so that I can step away from the camera to play with and pose baby. I would deffinetly recommend a Sony camera to anyone, and it is a great camera for begginers to learn with.

Thank you for the review! I am interested in the type of quality we might expect from a panorama produced by the hx1. Would we be able to achieve something close to http://www.regal360.com/index.php/features.html ?

Ohh my dear god! I bought my H50 a year ago and it has been the best digital camera I ever saw…but this…this is truly the crown jewel of the Digital cameras!
