 Sony Cybershot DSC R1 review at Steves Digicams : Our good friends at Steves Digicams have published their review of the Sony Cybershot R1 digital camera. The Cyber-shot R1 is the world’s first that combines a large 10.3 effective Megapixel CMOS sensor, and a high quality 24-120 mm (35mm) Zeiss Zoom lens. The large Sony CMOS sensor is able to capture more light, reducing noise levels, allowing higher shutter speeds, and therefore reducing the effects of handshake for beautifully clear, true to life pictures. The unique ‘short back focus design’ of the Sony R1 digital camera also allows the last lens to be positioned immediately in front of the CMOS sensor, contributing to a reduction in chromatic aberration.

 Sony R1 - 10.3 Megapixels
According to Steve Sanders: "I enjoyed using the lens' mechanical zoom ring, a great improvement over the motor-driven zooms of most consumer digicams. Like the zoom controls of dSLR lenses, the R1's enables you to move quickly and directly to the focal length needed for your shot composition. The R1's continuous capture mode is fast, but with limited depth. Shooting JPEG images with CF media, the R1 captured 3 images at 1/3 second intervals and took 6 seconds to clear its full buffer."
Sony Cybershot R1 - Steves Digicams review conclusion
Steve continues: "The R1's image quality is outstanding. It's sharp lens, accurate AF and White balance systems, and APS-C-sized image sensor combined to produce consistently pleasing results both indoors and out. At high sensitivity settings, the R1's images are superior to prosumer digicams and rival many consumer dSLRs. The R1's indoor results benefit from the wide field of view afforded by the 24mm end of the lens zoom range, good low light AF performance and adequate flash power. With its APC-C sized image sensor, the Sony DSC-R1 defines a new category in the prosumer digital camera market and offers a compelling alternative to enthusiasts who might otherwise consider a dSLR.
