Almost the same as most entry level 10m pixels DSLR of similar price
(Alain WL - 9/27/06)Excellent build quality, sharpness, true color, deep of field, good handling and user friendly. Thanks to its 24mm wide, APS sized cmos and Carl Zeiss T len. Very very good to take landscape picture, portrait shot is also its strength.
I owned it for over 1/2 year, and feel its perfect in most case, I've no complaint to it except slow focus in dim environment. However, after I bought a sony flash and work with it, they worked perfectly and pictures are good. If you have R1, I recommend to buy a flash and match with it, then no problem at all!
Some may consider its weight and not enough zoom as well as not flexible to change lens. i think that its only a DC (total price sure less than any DSLR single len package), it worth as it is, and no replacement till now.
Last but not the least, a basic technique is a must. This is a good camera that I have ever met with, and can build up my technique, so that we can grow-up together.
