Who it's for: Night owls and panorama shooters
Equipped with Sony’s low-light-optimized Exmor R CMOS sensor, the good-looking Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 also features a "premium" Sony G Lens previously available only in the company's digital SLR cameras and high-end camcorders. The DSC-WX1 (like the stylish, touchscreen-operated DSC-TX1) also has a "Handheld Twilight" feature that combines six pictures taken in rapid succession to create low-light shots with increased dynamic range. And Sweep Panorama mode lets you press the shutter button once, move the camera side to side, and create an instant panoramic image of everything you’ve pointed at. It’s the easiest panorama mode we’ve ever used, but the image quality does lag a bit behind that of traditionally stitched-together panorama scenes.
