The Cyber-shot-R1 is something of a departure for Sony. Historically, the company’s focus in terms of sensors has been centred on CCD technology, but this is its first camera to feature a large, low-noise, CMOS chip. At 21.5-x-14.4mm, it’s lar...

With the high-end camera market currently dominated by SLR (single lens reflex) digicams, youd think thered be no demand for a new all-in-one model. But Sonys Cyber-shot DSC-R1 isnt like any all-in-one ever released. Its got a 10.8Mp (megapixel...

Sonys 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 dont need to swap lenses, precise...

The Sony Cybershot DSC?R1 is a 10.3 megapixel all-in-one digital camera with a Zeiss 5X zoom lens (24?120mm film equivalent). Quality of design and construction is superb. The R1 has an electronic viewfinder and a swivelling LCD screen that sits flat...

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...

Excellent zoom lens, Quiet operation...
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.

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 ca...

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 everyones taste, Low noise levels up to ISO 400, usab...

Ill 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, its a great lens which provides you with a very useful 24 - 120 mm zoom range (which will be...

For the first time, a Sony camera—the 10.3-megapixel Cyber-shot DSC-R1 ($999.95 list)—is using the large CMOS sensor the company developed in-house. (In the past, Sony manufactured the sensors strictly for sale, making them available only to D...

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.
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 has a striking design, incorporates innovative features, and takes great pictures, but all that still cant justify such a high price...

The exterior of the DSC-R1 is covered in a tough polycarbonate-type black plastic with a granite texture, covering a metallic skeleton whose presence is betrayed by the relatively heavy weight of the R1 (approximately 1 kilo or 2.2 lbs).

Sonys Cybershot DSC-R1 is the companys first high-end all-in-one camera since the DSC-F828 back in August 2003. The F828, despite coming from a strong line of predecessors and sporting excellent design and features, infamously suffered from pronounc...
