sony released a new set of HD 1080p camcorders recently and they all use the same exmor cmos censors,
i think picture quality will be compromised in this model for HD video

Simply do a Google search for DSC-HX1 and see all the rumors based on this number.
HD video the key buzz word this year.
Wonder why a 2.7" vs 3.0". Also wonder if it will have the tilt screen like the H50. Since Sony has added that to some of their DSLR, I am guessing (just guessing/not fact) it will.
plus the placed pictures ....if they are from the new camera it looks still no hotshoe.
ah well all remain to be seen ........how many compromises will be made this time if it comes to image quality or will it be the camera we where waiting for..
. time will tell.

The funny part of some of these rumoursites is that they actually link to this thread on DPreview as one of the bases of their rumours.....
Nevertheless, could the X in the name mean that they are changing their approach to the camera?
BTW, the pictures on these rumoursites appear to be from a H50. Figures, cause if the camera isn't released yet, the pictures will not be out either...
If this camera materializes and has a CMOS sensor and 1080p video, will it also have the bad faults seen in other models with these two features? Other cameras with CMOS sensors and progressive-scan video, show bad fluttering and blurring during panning. These cameras have to be held still or used to follow moving subjects that are kept in the same place in the frame. The manufacturers don't usually inform you about these things, before you buy.
