Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 Review at PCMagazine

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1PCMagazine have just reviewed the new Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1, a 10.3 megapixel compact camera with an APS-C sized sensor that allows for a “live” preview.

“If you’ve got deep pockets, absolutely abhor changing lenses, and don’t mind a 5X optical zoom limit, perhaps this camera’s great image quality will offset its heft and make it a good buy. For everyone outside that narrow subset of photographers, however, there are just too many good enthusiast cameras and affordable D-SLRs to consider spending so much on this one. Save $300 and go with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30, or if you like a wider angle on your zoom, go for the Fuji FinePix S9000. If you’ve got a thousand bucks to spend on your next camera, though, we suggest making the leap to a D-SLR and picking up the Nikon D50 with two lenses.”
