The new Sony "P" series is SHARP

byandrew12 Aug 26, 2004
24 Helpfuls 25 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Small, good interface, photo quality, speed, battery life, all for a very fair price.
Cons LCD just decent, software, tacky plastic exterior.
Recommended it? Yes

The Sony P70 series has been going 5 years or so, and has been a big success, but was there enough of an upgrade in the DSC-P73 from the DSC-P72? I'd say so. However there are some downgrades in order to keep the good price.

Firstly, the photo quality has improved thanks to 4 megapixels... Read full review »

Pros great pictures, small, affordable, great for trips and lots of other things.
Cons Pre-set settings aren't "wonderful".
Recommended it? Yes

Let me start this review by saying that I am a semi-professional photographer. I have done 2 weddings (both small and secondary) and have done countless portraits, artistic and landscape shots. Photography is one of my "things" I guess, and I really love it.

I am one of the ones that has... Read full review »

The Sony Cybershot DSC R1 is it really a viable alternative to an entry-level dSLR?

byHoward_Creech Feb 16, 2006
92 Helpfuls 93 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Excellent lens with manual zooming and focus rings and dual memory card slots
Cons More expensive than entry level dSLRs and top-mounted LCD screen is awkward and...
Recommended it? Yes

Texas sports car racing icon Carroll Shelby revolutionized motorsports in the early sixties by replacing the anemic four-cylinder engine in an AC sports car with a powerful Ford V8.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-R1 Digital Camera

bypsugrowler Jun 13, 2006
30 Helpfuls 31 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 10.3 megapixels, Carl Zeiss lens, 3 fps burst mode, rotating LCD, great pics
Cons Heavy, slow shutter speed, learning curve
Recommended it? Yes

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 »
