Top-notch image quality

Autofocus is unpredictable Zoom range is limited

Using the joystick and wheel to navigate the menus was easy. Occasionally, I found the menu design annoying, however: Menus for changing the megapixel resolution, picture quality, ISO, and compression type (RAW or normal) were separate from many other...

For people who can live without changing lenses, Sony's DSC-R1 makes a versatile alternative to an SLR--but you'll have to pay an SLR-scale price for it.

Superb 24 - 120 mm F2.8 - F4.8 lens is worth the $999 alone Good resolution, a slight advantage over the EOS 350D (not as much as we would like) Vivid, 'pleasing' color response, although may not be to everyone's taste Low noise levels up to ISO 400,...

In-camera image processor not making most of captured data (demosaicing, sharpening) Odd LCD location either difficult to get used to or a serious limitation (user dependent) Electronic Viewfinder is no substitute for an optical TTL viewfinder...

I'll start as I shall no doubt finish this little piece of editorial, the lens is worth the price of the DSC-R1 alone. That fact is not to be underestimated, it's a great lens which provides you with a very useful 24 - 120 mm zoom range (which will be...

Excellent picture quality. Lots of external controls and options. Wide-angle end of the zoom gives you a wide 24mm view.

Very expensive. Quite heavy and bulky. Slow performance. No video capabilities.

Let it be clear that the Sony Cybershot DSC-R1 is an extraordinary camera indeed. This doesn't just limit itself to the design, but also covers the optics. The fact that the Sony R1 is equipped with a Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens greatly attributes...

(Almost) APS-C sized sensor in an all-in-one digital camera gives very good image noise levels, High 10.3 megapixel resolution, Very appealing tonality and color, Really excellent optical quality from the 24-120mm lens, Wider-angle zoom range than all...

Default in-camera sharpening leaves fine detail a little coarse looking, Limited buffer depth cuts short continuous shooting, Single-shot cycle time is slower than most digital SLRs, Shutter lag in AF mode is only average, not up to the levels of...
