Sony's Cyber Shot DSC-R1 represents an intriguing bridge between the world of user-friendly all-in-one prosumer cameras and the more complicated world of high-quality digital SLRs.
The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-R1 is a hulk among all-in-one prosumer cameras: with a weight of 2 pounds, 3 ounces, it's the heaviest we've seen, and its 5.
The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-R1 offers a broad range of automatic and manual features, but its highlights are the wide-angle zoom lens, which runs from 24mm to 120mm (35mm equivalent), and the large, almost APS-size 10-megapixel CMOS sensor.
Compared with other high-end prosumer cameras and entry-level dSLRs, the Sony Cyber Shot DSC-R1 performs respectably but not outstandingly.
The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-R1 produced generally excellent images, particularly at lower ISO ratings.
