Title: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1(12/1/05)Summary: The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 has a striking design, incorporates innovative features, and takes great pictures, but all that still can't justify such a high price. Read the full review Pros: ; Excellent picture quality. Lots of external controls and options. Wide-angle end of the zoom gives you a wide 24mm view. Cons: ; Very expensive. Quite heavy and bulky. Slow performance. No video capabilities. Country:

Title: Sony DSC-R1(6/12/05)Summary: 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 sufficient for the majority of users). Doing the math it's pretty clear that you have to...

Title: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 reviewSummary: : A handy, versatile camera with excellent image quality -- a worthy competitor to the dSLRs in its price range... Read the full review Verdict: If you don't anticipate a need for multiple lenses -- which many users won't, 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. It's a handy, versatile camera with excellent image quality Pros: ; Excellent image quality; an impressively flexible LCD screen that's viewable from many angles; a sharp Zeiss lens; effective white-balancing features; a wide range of ISO sensitivity; quick performance Cons: ; With most heavy components on the left side, the chunky body is somewhat off-balance; can't shoot raw in burst mode; the in-camera review function magnifies to only 5x Country:

Title: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1Summary: Read the full review Verdict: Sony's DSC-R1 is the first all-in-one to combine the low noise and high sensitivity of a digital SLR with the flexible screen of a consumer camera. It also sports a 10.8Mp sensor and a superb 5x zoom for £699. If you don't need to swap lenses, precisely focus manually or shoot more than three frames at a time, it's a better bet than a Country:

Title: Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1Summary: The R1 offers an excellent zoom range, good age quality and excellent photographic control. The images are good without being stunning but colours are vivid, true and sharp. The Sony R1 is technically fascinating and there is a lot to try out and talk about. However the viewing system and the bulky design is a let down. Read the full review Country:

Title: Sony Cybershot DSC R1 ReviewSummary: The Sony Cybershot R1 is far from your average digital camera. It is a definite trendsetter, a digital camera that has noticeably raised the bar another notch for the competition. Not only does the camera radiate quality, it shows it in every aspect and truly deserves all praise. Sony have every right to be pleased with the end result. We... Read the full review Country:

Title: Sony Cybershot DSC-R1Summary: The Sony R1 is a very difficult camera to rate. In essence, it is a fixed lens digital camera, one with a larger than normal sensor and an unusual design. Nevertheless, it mostly has advantages and disadvantages normally found on fixed lens digital cameras - but not those found on DSLR cameras. As such, it is an excellent camera for its...
