Gimme 1080P

Sony’s DSC-HX1 20x superzoomer with 1080p HD video isn’t a rumor anymore. It’s got a 9-megapixel CMOS sensor (like a legit DSLR) and automagically pumps out 224-degree panorama shots with a single sweeping motion.

Even though Sony’s description is smattered marketing BS speak like Exmor sensor, Bionz processor and G Lens—which increase shooting speed to 10 frames per second and reduce noise by 50 percent (whatever metric that’s based on)—it really does sound like a tight competitor to Canon’s similar SX1, especially since Sony’s is $100 cheaper, at only $500.

I don’t know all the details… but what I do know is that 1080P HD video recording is coming to entry level DSLRs! PMA is in full effect and we should see more of these types of cameras unveiled throughout the week. I’m excited!

Nikon has a rumored D5000 and Canon already announced its SX1.
