The Olympus SP-590UZ's panorama mode plays almost like a video game, but even it can't match the ease of the panorama feature on the $500 Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1, the Sweep Panorama mode. To use it, you press the shutter button once, and then pan the camera slowly across or up and down. The camera does all the work from there, creating a continuous horizontal or vertical image of up to 220 degrees.
The Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 is a highly versatile megazoom, offering a 20X optical zoom, an adjustable LCD screen, an electronic viewfinder, and 1080p video recording bolstered by stereo microphones.
