The quality on this camera is great. The pictures come out looking crystal clear on the camera and on the computer. I tried the Nikon L100 before this one and needless to say I returned it to Bestbuy and bought this instead (grainy pics, bulky). The best choice I made . The HD video is a unbelievable. The only bad thing about this camera is the battery life. I charge it every night because it drains throughout the day. I plan to get another battery. Other than that this is a very good camera, well worth the money.

After much deliberation, I bought this camera after trying to decide between the HX1 and the Canon SX1 and some others. The features that brought me over were the sweep panorama, 10 shots per second burst mode, and the other reviewers who seemed to say that the image quality between the HX1 and the SX1 were not that much different. Also, I got the HX1 for about $50 less probably (or more).
Now to just say where I am coming from, I’ve owned Sony DSC-H1 for the past 4 years, and that camera has been excellent and printed out great 4×6’s and 8×10’s. So I was just looking for a camera that would have HD video and also take at least as good pictures as the H1. The HX1 does the trick, let me tell you. (That “X” makes all the difference!) The color is really nice, the pictures come out very well even at high zooms.
Speaking of zoom, the 20x is amazing! It just keeps bringing objects closer and closer. Comparing them to my old H1 pictures, they are definitely better. Whether they are as good as the SX1 or other similar cameras, I cannot say. As to people who have been comparing this camera to a DSLR, this camera is not a DSLR! It will not take that kind of DSLR quality photo! Go buy a DSLR if you want that.
What this camera does do like a DSLR is have absolutely no shutter delay, (once it is focused) which is great for shooting sports games and such. The burst mode works excellent and really does take 10 a second, though it does take a bit to load them onto the memory card, about 15 seconds probably which doesn’t seem that long when you are actually shooting photos.
The panorama mode works as advertised, and can take some extremely wide shots with the “wide” panorama mode. The quality seems to be pretty good, though sometimes you can see the stitching. At the very least, it is a lot of fun to use.
The low light mode works well, though the pictures do tend to become a bit noisy, so I will not be making any poster size prints of those.
