I'm starting this thread to promot a sharing of information, ideas, tips, etc, etc, regarding the HX1. I've been on several other HX1 forums in other sites, but they seem to quickly lose their way, and soon they're discussing everything else but the HX1. Anyway, I figured that the "birdforum" is the perfect place to start this thread. I hope that we'll focus on the HX1 and not get too side tracked in other directions. In this way we will all benefit from one anothers' experiences regarding this remarkable camera. I would like to start of by mentioning that the main reason I purchased this camera was due to the whole host of features it has. I am planning to use it for, among other things, digiscoping with my Pentax 80mmed spotting scope. I am working on finding out what works best for connecting this camera to that scope. I purchased the camera about 2 weeks ago in hopes of using it for birding. I especially like the 10 frames burst/second shooting capability. This time of year most birds have moved on to warmer areas, as I'm currently in the mountains of southern Utah. If you haven't seen this camera and have an interest in doing so, be sure and check out the sweep panaroma feature. It's one of the coolest most magical features I've ever seen on a camera. Let me say before closing that this camera's not perfect, but which one is?
