Product Details
Description:
The bigger the imager, the better the image. That's why the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 incorporates an APS-class image sensor more than 12 times the size of the typical sensor. You will get high sensitivity, low noise and a phenomenal 10.3 Megapixels of resolution. This is the world's first camera to combine an APS-class sensor with Live Preview of the scene, so you can compose your shot with full framing, exposure and white balance accuracy.

Great Camera under $1,000
Strengths: 10M pics, very low noise, color, ease of use, Sony's topnotch build quality, support of compact flash memory
Weakness: Weight can be an issue for long trips and small hands.
Love everything about the camera. As this is my 3rd Sony camera I had no trouble coming up to speed. Menu structure is very intuitive.

Sony Cybershot DSC-R1
Strengths: Fantastic image quality. Great features. Multiple memory options. Good control setup.
Weakness: Heavy relative to most digital cameras. No image stabilization.

Very little grain wthout flash at high (400-800) speeds under stage lighting conditions. Most controls use a separate button rather than having to navigate threw a slew of menus. Very little learning curve from the 717. At 2+ lbs it's relatively heavy but not...

Sony R1
Strengths: Great image quality Easy to use interface Getting cheaper by the minute (I only paid $750 for mine) Great battery life
Weakness: Slow low light autofocusing Best EVF I've seen, but still sucks compared to optical SLR viewfinders
I bought this camera after much deliberation. I consider myself a "prosumer" who likes to take high quality pictures, but who doesn't want the hassle and expense of paying $2000 for a lens and body to match the quality found in the Sony R1. I also do not want to deal with multiple lenses and the problems they bring as you will eventually get dust on the sensor when you switch out lenses with a...
