I traded in my 3.3 megapixel Sony Cyber-Shot for this workhorse of a prosumer camera. The Sony Cyber-Shot R1 weighs in at an incredible 10.3 megapixels.

This camera is extremely feature rich. Huge image sensor, 10.3 actual megapixel, live framing / preview modes, rotating LCD gives you... Read full review »
