DSC-R1

For a non SLR camera, I have found the R1 to be excellent in terms of reproduction of colours - note that you will need a high end monitor or to print each pic on a decent printer to appreciate that. Further, the ability to shoot in RAW (Sony developer included allows you to then save down to TIF) is a plus as a lot of fine art photography may be done with this unit. My only regret is the zoom, but to tell the truth, I believe for everything else the camera has going for it, this may be overlooked and one should purchase the teleconverter for the camera to get the extra zoom needed.
