SONY DSC-R1

Excellent condition - no damages

The R1 is widely considered the best digicam ever produced, and it is certainly one of the most unique and unusual cameras out there. It is dramatically different from any other digicam because of its huge DSLR-sized 10.3MP sensor and excellent Carl Zeiss VARIO-SONNAR T* lens.

This unique camera has all the advantages of a traditional digicam:

relatively small weight and size
accurate electronic viewfinder and LCD display with live TTL view
easy to use
almost silent operation
absolutely dust-proof, factory sealed body
flash sync at pretty much any shutter speed...

And most of the advantages of a DSLR:

APS-size big CMOS sensor (21.5 X 14.4mm) for noiseless, detailed images as used by Canon, Nikon and others for their SLR's
2.5-3 times better dynamic range (shadow detail) than conventional digicams
full creative control
Carl Zeiss 5x Vario-Sonnar T* lens with 67mm filter thread

This Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens will NOT disappoint and with the DSC-R1 you won't have the dust-problem related to DSLR's to worry about.

Carl Zeiss makes lenses since 1890! The Sonnar T* system was introduced in 1972 - for more info
