Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Superior suite of options: ISO to 800, man/auto exposure, night shooting, holographic autofocus, hot shoe, many modes Weakness: Small LCD (standard 1.8 size, but not great), 4x Zoom fair only, wish it had a dock, wish it had a remote I waited before giving up my old cannon A-1 SLR a long time. The Sony V-1 has enough power and in a small package that we take more photos now than ever. Great preset options for my wife, who is a novice. I like playing around with different modes, exposures and lighting to be creative. Memory stick pro is fast and you can get good deals on memory through sales on Amazon or CompUSA. I bought a...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: very high quality pictures, succesfull in low light conditions, manual controls, size Weakness: low battery life, useless software I ve been using this camera for 6 months and I m very happy with my first digital camera and my huge picture albums. I highly recommend you to purchase an extra battery and also use Picasa software instead of Sony's Image mixer.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Size, great pictures, manual and automatic control, fast power-up and fast capture Weakness: battery life lasts about an hour. This camera is easy to use and has a great lens. I like the manual control- for sports shots you can increase the shutter speed, for night time you can select the night portrait mode and it will allow you to pick up background instead of being blacked out, etc. The video mode is great if you don't want/or can't take along a big camera bag with a video camera and a still camera. The 32mg memory...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: speed in writing images, very quick reaction time from pressing the shutter to image capture (much better than any other I tried--no detectable delay!) Great quality pictures. Resolution on MPEG movies Weakness: location of pop up flash, flash recharge is a little slow. Image writing of email size pictures is labeled as .jpe which has presented some problems in using them with other software programs. I love this camera. I had a previous Sony that I liked but wanted more resolution. I tried another Sony and Canon before settling on this one. Have been very satisfied with it. Just wish it saved the email size pix in another folder as .jpg like my previous model.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Image quality, focus speed, size relative to other cameras with the same features, price. Weakness: Small LCD, poor auto white-balance feature, not the best ergonomics, Memory stick media only. For me it came down to purchasing either the DSC-V3 or the DSC-V1, which was less than half the price of the V3 at the time of my purchase...I ended up going with the V1, and I'm happy with the decision. The picture quality is great, and auto-focus is fast and sharp in ANY lighting conditions, and for me these are the two most important features of any camera. By not buying the V3 I lose some...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: superb Carl Zeiss Lens, captures crisp and vivid pictures. holographic focus, very useful when using in darkness. compact and stylish body design. Great vedio quality. Weakness: expensive accessories, comparing with other media storage. position of bulit-in Flash. this is an awesome camera. it has all functions you need. very good design and excellent picture quality. The main complains are: the expensive accessories, e.g., memory stick or memory stick pro; occasionally, you will forget to move you hand off the built-in flash when it pops-up. Overall, I personally recommend this cool babe highly!

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Nightshot,nightframing Weakness: Small LCD screen, poor battery life, location of lift-up flash. Nightframing are a feature that every camera manufacturer should add to the mid- high end cameras as it is great for those low light situations. A bigger 1,8"LCD SCREEN would make life more earsier for those whose are half blind. Sony should replace their propriety battery with a rechargable 2100 AA PENLIGHT batteries that can use normal alkaline batteries in case of emergency.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1 5 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Excellent pictures with good color indoor or out. night pics. manual controls. Weakness: camera is difficult to hold because of the location of the pop up flash, but one can get used to it. First digital, and I did a lot of research for an amatuer interested in photography. Final hoices included Olympus 410, Canon S1, and Canon A75. I was looking to get into digital with low cost yet good features and durable. Salesperson convince me the DSC V1 was a better value with more features. He was right. Great pictures indoors or outside, including action. Movie mode is great! I got a 256...

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1
Sony DSC-V1 review updated! - Sample shots and analysis, based on a production model of the DSC-V1. Amazing features (as first seen on the F717), but I felt the 717 edged it on image quality. Still a great camera though, and one that's a good bit more compact and less expensive than the 717... Top

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-V1 5 Megapixel Compact Camera
Strengths: FAST autofocus, crisp pictures, great outdoors OR INDOORS, great low light shooting, 640x480 video
Weakness: Battery life is short
This is the ONE! Great camera, especially for those with kids. The fast autofocus (in good light or low light) is an absolute must if you are taking pics of kids...they just won't stay still. This camera hardly ever blurs the image because the autofocus and the lens is so quick. At night or indoors, where there is low lighting and other cameras struggle (I returned the Sony P10 because of this),...
