Sony Cyber-shot WX1 Review

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 brings the speed and low-light capability we loved in the much bigger HX1 down to pocket size. The back-lit Exmor R CMOS sensor promises improved performance in dim light, backing it up with a snappy Bionz image processor. Does it measure up to its full-size predecessor? Take a look at our full review.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 Review

Unfortunately, the WX1's image quality is lacking, the lens is a disappointment, and the camera is missing the features found on cheaper W-series models (save for the HD movie mode). While...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 Review

The Sony WX1 is one unique digital camera that will let you take sharp pictures indoors and at night, using a novel approach to low-light shooting: It rapidly snaps six images and stacks them up, aligning them right in the camera resulting in one low-noise image that's good enough to make an 11x14-inch print. The Sony WX1 does other tricks too, building a panorama out of hundreds of images,...
