Abstract: Sony DSC-R1 First Impressions Its the Sensor Size – Stupid Part of American political folklore, and now of popular rhetoric as well, is the phrase – “It’s the economy, stupid.” It was made famous by political strategist Jame...
Abstract: <b>Spec:</b> Digital camera, 10.3 megapixels, LCD display - TFT active matrix - 2 in - Color<br> <b>Good:</b> Excellent image quality; an impressively flexible LCD screen thats viewable from many angles; a sharp Zeiss lens; effective white-balancing features; a wide range of ISO sensitivity; quick performance.<br> <b>Bad:</b> With most heavy components on the left side, the chunky body is somewhat off-balance; cant shoot raw in burst mode; the in-camera review function magnifies to only 5X.<br> <b>Bottomline:</b> If you dont anticipate a need for multiple lenses--which many users wont, given the crisp 24mm-to-120mm-equivalent lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8--the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-R1 makes a worthy competitor to the dSLRs in its price range. Its a handy, versatile camera with excellent image quality.<br>

Abstract: The Sony DSC-R1 made news as the first all-in-one camera with a DSLR-sized sensor and a gorgeous, Zeiss-labeled zoom lens fixed to the camera body. The R1 lists for just a nickel under $1000, but based on the specs ? 10 megapixel 21.5 x 14.4mm CMOS sen...
The image quality from the R1 is exceptional but the real killer up its sleeve is its ability to take photos at high ISO -- up to 1600 -- without showing any objectionable noise. Combining the low noise with the outstanding white balance correction mea...
The high price is what cost the R1 a five star rating. $1800 puts it up against some good SLRs. A Canon 350D will not take better photos than the Sony but it does allow for interchangeable lenses and it does have a real viewfinder.
The Sony DSC–R1 is a worthy successor to the F828, the best all-in-one camera that we had so far tested. Occasionally a camera comes along that is such a pleasure to use that you find yourself picking it up and looking for subjects just for the fun...
Manual focusing is difficult, three frame buffer is small The Final Word If you dont need to swap lenses, precisely focus manually or shoot more than three frames at a time, the DSCR1 is a better bet than a budget digital SLR.
