Framing your shot your way.

Sony believes the camera should enable you, not hinder you. That's why the DSC-R1 lens is designed to capture an unusually wide angle -- 24 mm -- along with 5x zoom out to 120 mm (35mm equivalent). That's why Sony enables you to csompose extremely high-angle and low-angle shots, using the free-angle LCD monitor as your reference.

And that's why Sony provides a Preview Mode to show exposure, white balance and histogram BEFORE you take the shot! These are capabilities no D-SLR can match.
