sony cybershot dsc r1 reviewA review of the Sony Cybershot DSC-R1 digital camera is available at DigitalCameraInfo. The DSC-R1 is a dSLR-like camera with a fixed lens, that offers an impressive 10 megapixel resolution, paired with a big CMOS sensor a huge focal range of 24-120mm, 35mm equivalent, as well as a 2 inch LCD display that can be rotated.

The results of the review:
“The Sony R1 will ultimately serve a small portion of consumers quite well: sightseers, realtors, and those looking for a casual high-performance imager without concern for speed. The quality rivals or surpasses many entry-level DSLR kits and will not disappoint those willing to invest $1,000 for it. Unfortunately, the sharp lens and clean images come at a significant expense. Users will have to sacrifice an optical viewfinder, lens interchangeability, autofocus performance, shooting speed (all around) and durability. While the R1 is not likely to appeal to those graduating from an FZ30 or other ultra zoom model, the camera offers a unique combination of exceptional Zeiss-branded glass and APS-C sized CMOS sensor unavailable on any other model.”
