No regret
( - 5/15/06)I've traded my previous DC to own this new R1, and find my decision is right.
Lot of good points -
(1)good lens —> sharp picture
(2)good sensor and 1000 pixels —> great size and beautiful picture
(3)good handling —> seems come from sony experience, every button are easily handle as well asmenu
(4)good flash —> intelligent and high grade flash
(5)24mm wide —> perfect
(6)High grade materials build —> professional
(7)good battery life
(8)can use CF & MS
(9)provide lot of modes —> more colorful and natural photo
(10)very good ISO control
(11)very quick response especially in day light,
and more..... overall, worth for money, and the best in the market (now)
Some weak points are -
(1)too heavy
(2)not enough zoom (only 5x)
(3)no movie mode but not necessary
(4)large Raw file size
(5)rather slow focus in dim condition
I've no complaint to R1, and my custom to upgrade regularly is broken by R1, I cannot find next target after perchase R1.
It's the best in market (no DSLR concern).
