Extremely small and attractive, the Sony WX1 has a few tricks under itshat that you’d never guess by just looking at it. The new feature thisyear isn’t face detection or smile sensing - though those things canbe found on the Sony WX1-the new feature is low-light capability, allowing you to get shots indoors and at night that you never couldbefore without getting blur from subject movement and camera movement.The Sony WX1 uses both an enhanced sensor, and very fast processing toachieve these tricks, and the results are impressive.
The Sony WX1 is now able to detect subjects that have moved betweenshots, selecting only the frame in which they are most clear. The SonyWX1 also includes a Sweep Panorama function which automaticallyassembles panoramas from as many as 100 separate photos capturedautomatically, while you simply sweep your camera across the scene atthe camera’s direction. The WX1 is capable of horizontal panoramascovering as much as 256 degrees, or vertical panoramas with up to 175degree coverage.
