Sony introduced this week what looks like a winner in the wide-angle compact camera segment in the form of Cyber-shot WX1 (24 – 120mm)

This is the second camera to feature the sweep panorama technology that was first introduced in the HX1 superzoom camera.

At the heart of camera is a brand new “Exmor R” CMOS sensor which Sony says allow for better low light performance. The camera also “inherited” the HX1’s fast 10 frames-per-second continuous shooting.

Sweep panorama, 10fps, new Exmor R sensor for better low light performance
