Is the Sony HX1 really the SX1 Killer?

Yesterday I found this info: 
Kleiner Vergleich: Nikon D60 * Panasonic LX3 * Sony DSC-HX1 
and that took care of the "the HX1 fotos are not so good" 
I read a lot about the video and multishot modes from people who did some experimenting with it, something no review is able to tell you.

I think I can sum up my decision to get me a Sony HX1 and to test her out in one sentence.
This might be the most advanced, most easy to use and most fun camera from all the superzooms in 2009.
This blog has come to an end for now, you can find me exploring the SONY HX1 if she can live up to my expectations.

I had some hopes in the new Panasonic but what a disappointment.

But the FZ38 has still the tiny crappy viewfinder and the substandard 2.7" screen with the extremely limited viewing angle. (try to shoot something below the line of sight the display turns dark! It is just optimized for over head shooting.)
and try to manual focus and see if it is sharp on the displays.

And more megapixel and now stereo wow what a impressive upgrade.
Combine that with the buy only Panasonic batteries or the camera explodes and you loose all warranty and you got a total winner.
Canon had perfect stereo with wind filter already in the S2 since 2005 and big viewfinders (sadly no big resolutions) and swivel screens.

Compared to all other super zooms in 2008/09 this is the most half assed as cheap as possible "upgrade"
