Sony Cybershot HX1

DPreview intro | Gizmodo hands on

This time Sony almost did all the important things right:
Jogdial right where your thumb is: on the top back of the grip right below the mode dial

• Zoom control right below the shutter button
• Metal mode dial
• Infolithium battery is back!!!
  
• Manual mode & EVF still there as all H series cameras

Some great to have features:

• Mechanical shutter
• on board photo stitching for wide angle shots
• 1080p video recording
• Exmor CMOS with an emphasis on less noise
• 20x optical zoom
  

Some points I'm not sure are good or not:

• The CMOS size is still 1/2.4", the CCD on my H9 is 1/2.5", which is tiny. I blame it for all the noise. I hope switching to CMOS would reduce the noise, but come on, can't you make a Cybershot with a 2/3" sensor just as the F707? I don't need 9Megapixels, 5 is enough.
• What's "Sony G lens", how does it compare with the Carl Zeiss lenses that were standard on Cybershots? Sony's never known for lenses......
  

But I really want to try out this camera for sure :)
