re hawkeni:

7MP still photo is more than enough for your 1080p HDTV, which is equivalent to a 2MP. I do agree with it would be nicer if it record 1920*1080 progressive video.

If you want to watch all your pictures and videos at your 16:9 TV, you ll have disappointing with Sony HX5V. The highest resolutions as video and pictures doesn’t support 16:9 format but only 4:3 format . Though if you prefer lover resolutions then you have chance to capture 16:9 format. I believe it is the biggest handicap of this camera!

I own Sony HX5V, One of the handicap of this camera is that cannot capture 16:9 format video as full HD. So you will end up only capturing and seeing your full HD videos as 4:3 format when using mp4 .That is very inconvenience.

Besides when you capturing picture at 10MP, then you have only 4:3 size format to choose, however if you can lover resolution to 7MP then you may get 16:9 size format.That sucks!

all required is low noise while shooting in low light and stable imaging

this will be very compact; but the hx1 didnot meet the required presicion in taking clear and high quality pics even after featuring a cmos sensor; hope this stays upto the expextation
as some one said; 10m is max limit even 6m or 7m would give good pics if the sensor and lens can combine to show the magic

Are you familar with the Sony DSC-H50? I love this camera but it’s kind of big. Is the HX5V similar to this as far as quick pictures without delays?

It does NOT shoot video at 1080p. It does 1080i AVCHD, or 720p MP4. Read the specs and you will see that the 1920 x 1080 is interlaced…

In reply to Visvanathan,

This camera is coming out in March so there are no professional tests on it yet. We don’t know if it’s better than any of the cameras you mentioned but judging by the specs it should be competitive. Having 10MP is good enough on a point and shoot. If you add more MP it will likely look worst because the sensors in point and shoot compacts are so small. IMO, they shouldn’t even be going above 8MP.
