Sony Hx1 :: Sony Cyber-shot® Digital Camera DSC-HX1
Estimated availability is 29 April 2009. (as per sonystyle dot com) I am waiting to buy this
Introducing the world’s first digital still camera with Sweep Panorama mode. You can also shoot at an amazing 10 frames per second and capture crisp details in low light with 9.1-megapixel resolution.
In photography, timing is everything. With the ultra-fast, 10-shots-per-second speed of the Cyber-shot® DSC-HX1, it’s easy to capture a swinging bat just before it hits the ball. Remarkable Exmor” CMOS technology even makes it easy to capture photos in low light while maintaining smooth color gradation and crisp detail. Especially useful for beautiful landscape shots or shooting skyscrapers, the Sweep Panorama mode takes seamless 224-degree shots with breathtaking 9.1 megapixel results—just press the shutter and sweep in a horizontal or vertical direction. And don’t miss the 20x optical zoom or the Intelligent Auto mode that eliminates the guesswork by automatically adjusting camera settings for you. Got a shaky hand? Optical SteadyShot image stabilization has you covered by reducing blur for sharp, lifelike images.

I bought mine …
I bought mine yesterday. Very nice camera, no where near SLRs regarding image quality, but fits my needs perfectly.
The in-camera panoramas work surprisingly well, as does the 10fps burst. The ability to automatically take couple of shots with different settings in difficult lighting conditions is handy also.
