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...
In-camera image processor not making most of captured data (demosaicing, sharpening), Odd LCD location either difficult to get used to or a serious limitation (user dependent), Electronic Viewfinder is no substitute for an optical TTL viewfinder, Ridiculo...
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...
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....
Abstract: 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).
Excellent quality lens with useful range, Large sensor for all-in-one body, High resolution beats 6 and 8 Mpixel D-SLRs, Flexible 2in display
Noise not as low as we hoped above 400 ISO, Harder to manually focus than D-SLRs, Tiny three frame buffer, No movie mode

Abstract: <b>Spec:</b> Digital camera, 10.3 megapixels, LCD display - TFT active matrix - 2 in - Color<br> <b>Good:</b> Excellent image quality; an impressively flexible LCD screen thats viewable from many angles; a sharp Zeiss lens; effective white-balancing features; a wide range of ISO sensitivity; quick performance.<br> <b>Bad:</b> With most heavy components on the left side, the chunky body is somewhat off-balance; cant shoot raw in burst mode; the in-camera review function magnifies to only 5X.<br> <b>Bottomline:</b> If you dont anticipate a need for multiple lenses--which many users wont, 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. Its a handy, versatile camera with excellent image quality.<br>
