I was showing a SONY Cybershot DSC-WX1 camera to a customer yesterday and he asked how fast the hi speed capture is on that one. To tell you the truth, I had been so entranced by the “Sweep Panorama” feature on this one, I hadn’t even checked out some of the other cool things it will do.
Setting the continuous shooting through the menu to hi caused the camera to take 10 pictures in about 1 second at the full 10mp resolution. It took a few seconds for the camera to record all 10 to the card afterword but . . . wow! Nikon put a similar feature in the P90 (24X optical zoom) but at a lower resolution when it’s set to hi speed shooting. I guess the only down side to the Cybershot is it only has a 5X zoom (fine for most - not enough for some).
I’ll fill you in on any other things I trip across while playing at this.
