+1 to casual... The other big difference is sensor size...

Your DSC-HX1 has a sensor size of 1/2.3", while my old Canon EOS 300D (original digital rebel from 2003) has an APS-C sized sensor, which is many times larger. A larger sensor can capture more detail in low light, as well as sharper pictures in full light.
