Why I chose this camera

I'm lucky enough to own a Nikon D70. Nice camera without doubt. But the one camera I consistently pick up and use is the Sony R1. Here's why. I hate dust! No matter how careful I am with the Nikon, I'm getting speckles in my photos from lens changes. It drives me crazy! I know there is software to fix it etc etc. But considering I rarely take photos with a zoom exceeding 120 mm, I can get the same excellent picture results using the Sony. Therefore I love the fixed lens, especially the quality of this Zeiss lens. No dust problems-ever. And the Sony has a lovely 24 mm wide-angle setting which I find far more useful than a long zoom setting. I admit its a bit slow to focus in dim light situations but I can live with it. Otherwise I find the controls far more intuitive than the Nikon especially the menu. It's just such a nice camera to use. If I want to take movies, maybe a Fujifilm Finepix F30 in my pocket as a back up. The Sony comes highly recommenced.
