Sony Electronics just introduced the Cyber-shot DSC-HX1, a 10 FPS, 20X-zoom 9.1 megapixel camera. It is equipped with one of Sony's G-series lenses with glass usually associated with Sony's digital single-lens reflex cameras. The lens contains spherical lens elements that are made from ED (extra-low dispersion) glass. This glass is best at minimizing chromatic aberration, which can be a common problem with high-magnification lenses.

The DSC-HX1 is equipped with a CMOS sensor and has a 3" LCD monitor on the back of the camera. It is capable of utilizing the full 9.1 megapixels at the 10 FPS rate. The camera also permits the photographer to create panorama shots of up to 220 degrees in one continuous sweep. If you have a steady hand, you can easily sweep from horizon to horizon and capture the entire scene.

I purchased the McKinley Bag because I loved the bag and M-Rock has a good reputation. I took the bag out within two weeks of buying it and the wheels were not working properly. Because of the way they are attached they bow, causing the wheels to wear against the plastic housing that holds them.

I returned the bag for a new one, hoping I had a bad seed. Within a few months I had the same issue. My husband warned to not get the second bag as I would have the issue with the bag, he was right.

The right wheel is worn through so it is cracked open, it does not spin and the left wheel is almost as bad. The bag bows down with resting on the wheels and the bottom of the bag is wearing from being “dragged” because the wheels aren’t holding it up.

I wrote the the maker of the M-Rock bag, Michael Rockwell. He said nothing is wrong the bag that I wore it out despite my limited use in under a year. He refuses to help me writing, “I will not read your email or continue communication with you.”

Buyer beware. Great Bad. Bad Wheels and Service.
