It's about the size of the new Canon PowerShot S2 IS, another new mega zoom digicam with optical image stabilization for about the same price. We won't go into an HC1-versus-S2 riff, but the most obvious difference is Sony's large, 2.5-inch LCD screen compared to the Canon's variable angle 1.8-inch monitor.

What a marketing technique, this was ALL OVER the internet and PC magazines everywhere...

I don't see why it is a big deal, you can get much higher mega pixel for lower price,.. OK 8x is fine but really, nothing to be drooling over, everywhere on the web.
