This review comes 8 years after the initial launch of this camera. In brief, after many years, and many models that came out, this is still great camera with high quality lens and excellent pictures as a result. Considering prices on the market it is good value for anyone not willing to spend money and time searching for DSLR bodies and questionable lenses. It is oriented towards people mostly shooting architecture, landscape, nature, street. Sometimes it produces good results indoors, in well lit situations. Compared to previous model f828 it has some flaws, not so well built, not so bright lens, wrong position of the LCD display but if we take into consideration that price for used is around 200$ there is not much to think about. It has many features typical for Sony products that make this company one of the best in photo business.Read full review
First good thing about this is it's flash sync times. It syncs on all! The possibility of using external flash gives me the opertunity to hook this up to a professional studio flash system. That's very versatile. The tilt and turn screen is also useful, the 134000pixel screen is crisp and clean despite the lower than todays standard resolution. The viewer is of the same build quality and resolution. Works. This is what happens when you ask your engineerteam to make babies. We will build a camera around a very large sensor, because we can and it will beat everything off the charts for it's time. On top we'll put an astounding lens by Carl Zeiss. Note it's real T* Vario-Sonnar, not the usual just-put-a-rebranded el-cheappo lens on that. Next we'll only produce a very limited number and immediately discontinue the product line making people crazy, and cause cyber-net battles over the remaining ones. The camera came out around 2006 and has held the price relatively stable on the used marked for years.Read full review
I have been using the camera for a few days and I am delighted with it. The first results are better than expected. The R1 arrived sooner than expected and this was a real treat. Many thanks.
