Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1

Sony Cybershot DSC V1 4 to 5 Megapixel user reviews : 3.8 out of 5 - 13 reviews - photographyreview.com

The Cybershot DSC-V1 was introduced by Sony just before the Photo Marketing Association (PMA 2003) trade show this year. Despite its compact proportions the five megapixel, four times optical zoom DSC-V1 is squarely aimed at the 'Prosumer' market and will have to compete with the likes of the recently announced Nikon Coolpix 5400 (5 mp, 4x zoom) and Canon PowerShot G5 (5 mp, 4x zoom). Other interesting features of the V1 are Sony's first hot-shoe for external flash (they have introduced complementary the HVL-F32X flash too), support for Memory Stick Pro (up to 1 GB), 'Hologram AF' laser based low-light AF assist, five-area auto focus, Night Shot and Night Framing, USB 2.0 connectivity and full control of sharpening, tone and color saturation (at long last).

Features & Controls The DSC-V1 is equipped with a F2.8-4.0 7-28mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 4x optical zoom with 34 to 136mm coverage (as compared to a 35mm camera.) The lens retracts into the body when powered down and is protected by a built in lens barrier. Optional wide angle VCL-DEH07V

Steve's Conclusion The DSC-V1 Cyber-shot is a compact camera that's loaded with powerful features such as a Carl Zeiss 4x optical zoom lens and a high resolution 5-megapixel imager. The V1 is a very easy to use in the Auto or Program AE modes and when you want to exercise your creative side
