Sony announces Cyber-shot DSC-R1
NEWS! - Sony announces Cyber-shot DSC-R1
The large ... over one inch CMOS sensor in this camera, allows for 10.3 megapixel images (effective). It obviously allowed the designers to adapt a lens that moves further into the wide-angle range .. 24mm in 35mm camera-equivalent terms.
Digital cameras with smaller sensors are stuck with an image multiplier of somewhere around 1.5 to 1.7 .... (This means you multiply the digital camera's "actual" lens range in millimeters by this multiplier, to calculate their 35mm equivalent.)
You can certainly see how that immediately hurts you on the wide-angle end of lens development.
Fixed lens, so that is good as far as preventing dust from coming in contact with the sensor, but I really wish it had more on the high end, than 120 mm. (35mm camera equivalent)
It has a 2X digital zoom, but digital zoom means nothing as far as I'm concerned. You can do all that stuff on a computer, and it doesn't add anything as far as resolution.
I like that it goes up to ISO 3200 range.

The digital zoom degrades the quality so quickly I disregard it in making comparisons.
