I received this camera as a gift to replace an older Sony digital camera and so far, I couldn't be happier! The touch screen is AWESOME and makes edits quick and simple AND there's a 'paint' feature that allows you to draw right onto the picture (dialou

Comments:
You can paint your pictures and enjoy a laid-back afternoon going through your photos with the too-cool transition slides. But once the initial curiosity dies down, you will still want your camera to perform what it's built for--to take photographs.

Sony DSC-N1

Comments:
The Cyber-shot DSC-N1 is about the same size as a deck of playing cards and incorporates a high-performance, 8-megapixel digital camera, with a large, 3-inch, touch-screen LCD. The N1's album function automatically stores up to 500 of your favorite images

Review Verdict: Bottom line - the Sony Cyber-shot N1 is a nice digital package that offers great image quality, speedy performance, and a very cool touchscreen LCD. Its 8M Fine images have more than enough resolution to create stunning 13x19-inch borderless prints. We fe

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-N1

Comments:
I have completed our review of the DSC-N1 using a production model camera. Product photos have been re-shot where necessary, and all sample images are from the production camera. Thank you for your patience.

Review Verdict: As is the case with Sony's other recent cameras, the N1 does not include a memory card. Instead, Sony has built 26MB of memory right into the camera (plus 26MB more for the photo album and 6MB for slideshow music). The internal memory holds just six photo

Product Rating: 3.5 star(s) REVIEW-SONY CYBERSHOT DSC-N1

Comments:
The Sony Cybershot DSC-N1 is an 8.1 megapixel compact digital camera with a Zeiss 3X zoom lens (38-114mm film equivalent). Construction is metal and quality of design and construction is high.

Review Verdict: The Sony DSC-N1 will have strong appeal to the gadgetphile, but the serious photographer should compare it carefully with Sony's excellent DSCW7, a 7.2mp camera with a good optical viewfinder and costing $250 less. The DSCW7 doesn't let you put snowflake

Pros: Hidden behind the pointless technology of the Sony DSC-N1 is a fine camera. Resolved detail with the 8mp sensor and Zeiss lens is breathtaking. Exposure is always spot on and dynamic range is very good for a compact digital. Colour is generally good but a
Cons: Reaction to the gimmickry of the DSC-N1 is bound to be personal. Some people will love it. You can even create slideshows in the camera with music (supplied in the camera's internal memory) which is played back through the tiny inbuilt speaker. Given a ch

Product Rating: 4.05 star(s) Sony DSC N1 Review and Where to Find the Best Prices

Comments:
Sony DSC N1 Review. The big attraction of this digital camera is the large three inch touch LCD screen. This means that buttons and controls on the camera are kept to a minimum.

Review Verdict: The Sony DSC N1 offers something different with a large 3" touch controlled LCD screen. Owing to the technology this is an expensive digital camera and in my view the picture quality is good, but does not quite justify the price.

Review Verdict: There's a knock-on with battery life as well: even though Sony claims 300 shots from each charge of its 'Stamina' Li-ion battery pack, that figure can shrink alarmingly with heavy usage of the massive 3.0-inch screen

Sony Cyber-shot N1 Review

Comments:
The Sony N1 is an 8 megapixel ultra-compact camera with a huge 3 inch touch screen. You could say that this camera is a souped up W100. So how does this camera perform? Find out now.

Review Verdict: The Sony N1 is a fantastic camera. It has two things which may fool you but the result is always otherwise and great: 1. The 8 megapixel imager produces surprisingly good images (at ISO 800 too!) and 2. the great 3 inch touch screen is sharp and viewable.
