Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 Review at Camera Labs
Camera Labs 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.
“While much of the R1’s attention has been devoted to its large sensor, the real triumph is actually the 24-120mm Carl Zeiss lens. You’re normally lucky to have an all-in-one with a 28mm wide angle, but one which extends to 24mm is a joy. The lens may not zoom-into the heady lengths of the 300mm and up super-zooms, but at 120mm it delivers a decent telephoto option. And crucially the lens performs very well, with low distortion and high sharpness, along with no particular concerns over vignetting or fringing - the demons of the earlier F828 have truly been laid to rest.”
