Pros

Well done sony. That make this camera shines. If you have a pocket this will fit in. It's not small, but it fits great in the hand.

The r1 is even quite usable when held straight overhead by the simple expedient of holding it upside down. The dsc-r1 is a very good to great camera and a fantastic value. It's more poignant than anything, but i must say that, four years and about hal... Read More

Carl zeiss 24-120mm f/2. Is a great lens for a great camera. The lens is wonderful and makes the camera. Look unique and aggressive with the large lens dominating its appearance. I use a wide-angle and a moderate tele-lense.

The image is muddy but clears when the white slider is moved to the left in setting luminance. The raw archive is 20mb of data and in night shots to my inexperience it's better to easily correct the white balance and reduce the noise without destroy t... Read More

I especially like the external lcd viewfinder. It's like a sports finder in that you can easily see both what's in the picture and what's not. This has an electronic viewfinder, these days the cameras just have a screen that and the evf are sold apart... Read More

Cons

Dsc series camera all have a ccd imager defect. Do a google search.

Quality

Also the built quality is of high standard.

My third favorite feature is the cmos sensor: it truly makes a difference in the quality of the mega-pixels not just the fact t... Read More

I also have a sony nex-3n; cannot even touch the quality of photos that the r1 produces!

Buy a high quality protective filter, like a b+w or hoya.

Price

For the price i paid im not complainning.

Much better price performance from the zeiss lens.

The price is abit too high for a point and shoot, no video mode, macro is too far from subject, about 15 niches.

For today's used price you cannot even buy a decent zoom lens alone!

Shipping

Grab it fast, if you can find one.

I received it friday, and immediately removed it from the shipping material and began snapping shots.

Packaging/appearance

A sensor in the lcd senses your body when you get too close (like waist level shooting) and shuts off the the screen!

I couldn't get a professional recovery company to rescue anything, even when i said they could open up the card to get inside, ... Read More

Sony cameras seem fine now but they look and perform pretty much like the rest of the pack.

Competitiveness

Over 23000 photos so far and no problems at all.

(it took me about a day)the one thing i was glad to find missing was that infernal movie mode this is a still camera folks remember!

If you don't mind paying $700 to $3000 more for a comprable, faster slr (nikon d200 or d2x, canon 20d, 5d) then go for it.

Everyone i know that has used an interchangable lens digital camera has had dust problems.
