Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 - Good Condition | Digital Compact Camera | High-Speed Performance with 20x G Lens Optical Zoom

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX1 (S/N: 1593014) is a landmark "bridge" camera that combines the manual control and long-reach optics of a DSLR with the portability of a compact system. It was the first Cyber-shot to feature Sony’s professional-grade "G Lens," offering a massive 20x optical zoom that ranges from a 28mm wide-angle to a 560mm super-telephoto. Powered by the high-speed Exmor CMOS sensor and the BIONZ image processor, the HX1 is famous for introducing the revolutionary "Sweep Panorama" mode and capable of a blistering 10 frames per second at full resolution. With its tilting 3.0-inch LCD and integrated electronic viewfinder, this camera is a versatile powerhouse for travel, wildlife, and sports photography.

Introductory Paragraph The Sony DSC-HX1 is the ultimate "all-in-one" solution for the adventurous photographer. This specific unit (S/N: 1593014) features the f/2.8-5.2 G Lens, which is engineered to provide the edge-to-edge sharpness and contrast typically reserved for Sony’s high-end interchangeable lenses. The 20x zoom allows you to transition from capturing a broad landscape to a detailed close-up of a distant bird in seconds. Because it utilizes a mechanical shutter and the Exmor sensor technology, it handles noise beautifully in challenging light. Whether you are a hobbyist looking for a powerful travel companion or a pro wanting a capable backup, the HX1 provides the digital speed and optical reach to capture the perfect moment every time.

Condition Report Good condition. The camera body (S/N: 1593014) shows normal signs of light use and minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with its age. The Sony G Lens is optically clear, free from fungus, haze, or significant scratches. The 20x motorized zoom operates smoothly across the entire range. Both the tilting LCD screen and the electronic viewfinder are bright and fully functional. All buttons, the command dial, and the internal pop-up flash have been tested and are operational. The battery compartment and Memory Stick slot are clean.

Specialist Note "The HX1 was a game-changer when it hit the market. What I love about this S/N: 1593014 is the 10fps burst mode; even by today's standards, that is incredibly fast for a fixed-lens camera. It makes it a fantastic tool for bird watching or sports. The 'G' glass really makes a difference—you get a level of micro-contrast and color depth that cheaper bridge cameras just can't match. It’s an ergonomic, well-balanced machine that feels substantial in the hand. For anyone who wants the versatility of a massive zoom range without the hassle of carrying a heavy bag of lenses, the HX1 is a rugged and reliable choice."
