Better images start with a better image sensor.
The Sony® Cyber-shot® DSC-R1 camera is built around the remarkable talents of a Sony image sensor that's comparable in size to an APS-C film frame. In fact, it's more than 12 times the size of the typical digital camera sensor!
As a result, you'll experience picture quality far beyond the ordinary. And Sony's CMOS technology results in the world's first, continuously active APS-class sensor, a breakthrough that introduces a host of new capabilities to this class of camera.
