Sony is renowned for its stylish compacts, and the DSC-WX1 is no exception. It not only looks smart, but contains some interesting technology too. At around £300, the DSC-WX1 is aimed at the top-end of the compact market, but do its features and perfor...

All in all, the DSC-WX1 is a bit of a curate’s egg. You get a dinky camera and some nice features like, Sweep Panorama and high-speed, full resolution continuous mode, but at £300, its performance is a bit lacking. We also think Sony should swa...

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 is a compact digital camera with a 5x zoom lens and a new Exmor-R CMOS sensor. It takes better photos in dim lighting than many other compacts we have tested and has a reasonably competent lens, but overall photo quality isn't significantly better than other cameras with a similar price and specifications.The cornerstone of the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-WX1 is the new sensor.

Like: The austere appearance and good construction quality appeal.
Dislike: Image quality is ordinary, with softness and noise fudging even at ISO200. We could not see any of the benefits promised by the Exmor sensor. It consistently over exposed and the exposure compensation is ludicrously hard to find. White balance is...

If I had to choose I wouldn't hesitate a second and jump over to the TX1 for its great design and ultra compact size. Granted the TX1 offers slightly less impressive (but not much) photos than the WX1, on other hand it offers an outstanding ratio size performance that will make you forget everything else.
