Sony DSC-R1 combines world-class sensor and lens
35 of 39 people found this review helpful.
I have two DSC-R1s, and although I am selling one of them it is my favorite camera. I am a professional photographer, and the DSC-R1 makes tripod work easier than any other camera. The multi-angle LCD, and a joystick-controlled manual focus function are two features that make it much easier to use than any DSLR when shooting landscapes and architecture.
This Sony is in a class of its own when it comes to image quality. Even a $3000 DSLR rig would be hard pressed to deliver the same quality. What's missing? Image stabilization would be nice, and the 2-shot RAW buffer could be more generous - the DSC-R1 is not the best camera for shooting sports. However as a vacation/hobbyist/Pro backup camera, it has no competition in terms of capability and quality.
