`FINISHED CHALLENGES
`
`Getty Museum, Los Angeles by John Nall
`from seats
`
`1/7
`
`In August 2003 Sony revealed the latest in a long line of split body swivel design prosumer
`digital cameras, the eight megapixel DSC-F828. Two long years have passed and it's time
`for the new Sony prosumer digital camera; the unique and radical Cyber-shot DSC-R1. The
`R1 drops the split body design of its predecessors in favor of an SLR-like fixed body which
`is remarkably similar to that of the then ground-breaking and some consider legendary
`DSC-D700.
`
`However it's not the body design which makes this camera unique (many have copied the
`DSC-D700), it is the camera's sensor and lens. This is the first all-in-one digital camera to
`utilize a large (APS size) sensor, to be precise a 10.3 megapixel CMOS unit measuring 21.5
`x 14.4 mm which is essentially a slightly smaller version of the sensor used in the Nikon
`D2X. It's also the first APS size sensor to provide full time live preview to the camera's LCD
`monitor or EVF (electronic viewfinder). This means that there's no mirror box or prism
`making the camera more compact and allowing the lens to be positioned much closer to
`the sensor. Equally as important and interesting is the lens which provides a 24 - 120 mm
`(equivalent) five times zoom with a maximum aperture of F2.8 - F4.8.
`
`What makes the DSC-R1 unique
`
`First non-SLR (fixed lens digital) camera to feature a large format sensor (APS-C size)
`First use of a CMOS sensor in a non-removable-lens digital camera
`First large format sensor to provide full-time live preview
`Widest range of ISO sensitivity for a non-SLR camera; ISO 160 - 3200
`First digital camera to provide a top-mounted LCD screen
`First Sony digital camera to support Adobe RGB
`First implementation of 'Auto Gamma Control' on a Sony digital camera

`
`Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1 Review: Digital Photography Review
`
`As I've already mentioned the DSC-R1's body design is very reminiscent of the DSC-D700, a
`1.5 megapixel SLR-like digital camera introduced in May 1999. Around six years ago the
`DSC-D700 would have cost you $1,699, today Sony are pitching the DSC-R1 at the $999
`price point.

`
`Advantages of a larger sensor
`
`As noted above the DSC-R1 utilizes an APS size CMOS sensor which is considerably larger
`than that used in previous compact / prosumer digital cameras. The DSC-F828 for example
`had a 2/3" CCD which had effective capture area of 8.8 x 6.6 mm, the DSC-R1's sensor is
`approximately 2.4x wider and 2.2x taller. This larger sensor facilitates larger photosite's,
`the F828 had a 2.7 µm pixel pitch, the DSC-R1 has a 5.49 µm pixel pitch (and hence has
`lower lens resolution requirements).
`
`Key technical advantages of the large CMOS sensor (supplied by Sony)
`
`Five times the sensitivity compared to the DSC-F828
`2.5 times the dynamic range compared to the DSC-F828
