The Sony Cybershot R1 digital camera has been reviewed at LetsGoDigital.

Here is part of the review conclusion:
“[…] The quality of the 5x optical zoom is outstanding. The unique reach of the lens, 24 - 120mm (equivalent to a 35mm camera), is an attractive feature for the landscape or indoor photographer, but also makes it possible to shoot a striking portrait with the light-weighted tele lens. […]
The high resolution of 10+ Megapixels leaves unlimited room for the creative photographer to edit, enlarge or crop an image. […] Sony is well in control of the signal/noise ratio, it is the high ISO values in particular that can be worked with. […] The Sony R1 does offer virtually all the same setting possibilities as a digital SLR. […] If you would want to find the same lens and quality of the Sony R1 in another camera, it would without question have a price tag several times higher.

[…] We can only conclude we were lucky to have had an opportunity to work with such a top quality camera. Hats off to Sony! “
