Sony Cyber-shot DSC-L1

...has very good metering. Something Sony seem to have got right. The battery life is good, though i did buy a spare which came in handy on holiday. It uses a rechargeable Li-Ion battery which is charged in camera. One nice feature is it tells you how many minutes are left before the battery runs out. Its Sony duo cards are now, thankfully, a lot cheaper than when i bought mine. If you buy a pro duo card the movie mode on this camera is excellent. ...
...size is perfect for slipping into your pocket and it has enough features to keep you happy. The colour quality is good, but its let down at larger sizes. Despite its weaknesses its still a good camera and I’d recommend it to someone who wants to take snap shots. However, with phone cameras improving, I don’t see a market for this camera in years to come. ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-L1

...is impressive to see what Sony has been able to do and has improved on in the last few years. Movie Quality - No matter really how fast you pan from side to side, or up and down, it doesn't drop frames. The quality is awesome. I can only assume it has to do something with the MPEG VX technology (whatever that is...). It's great for on the fly video. The sound is also of great quality. The only downfall is the inability to zoom when recording. Menu/Ease ...
...camera to replace my tiny Sony U30, which is only 2 mega pixels and has no zoom, I was extremely happy with my choice. The camera comes with a charger included so you arent having to constantly purchase new batteries. I found the size of the camera ideal, it fitted in my pocket perfectly. The u30 to me seemed a little lightweight and flimsy whereas this camera is slightly heavier and has a sturdier feel to it. The only downfalls I would say with ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-L1

This camera is fantastic! Although, now around three years old- from when I bought my own- it still seems to have a much superior quality on the cheaper, weaker cameras. It's strength is amazing. Many times has it been dropped down the stairs- accidentally of course- or knocked into things. Not a dent or a scratch. The picture quality is fantastic, and the zoom and flash are equally as useful. The memory card it uses- SD- are very reasonably priced ...
...The battery life is also brilliant, and it even tells you how long the remaining battery will last on each mode- viewer, camera and video mode. Its battery is charged in camera. The only thing people might have against this smart, strong, speedy camera is its lack of viewfinder. This is not a problem for me- I don't like viewfinders anyway- but some people may find it a problem. But personally I feel the screen view is perfect and clear to use! ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-L1

...bought this camera from a sony store mainly for ease and a reasonable price. This camera itself feels very sturdy and robust with an aluminium case and what feels like an aluminium shutter which slides over the lens as you turn on and off. I feel the features it offers in manual mode are more than you will ever need if you ever wish to overide the auto setting which are very good themselves anyway. One feature I find very useful is the joystick ...
...with lots of buttons. It also has a very good, and instant, review mode so that you can view the last picture taken with minimal hassle. The optical zoom is 3x which i find is enough, it has digital zoom but i suggest not to use it as it distorts the image. The shutter reaction time is very good especially when the flash it turned off, the flash has a red eye reduction setting which is very useful in digital photography. The movie function is average ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-L1

...it, thanks :) The Sony Cyber Shot DSC-L1 is 4.1-mega-pixel which in my opinion is ideal, great quality prints and means you can fit a lot more on a card than say a 6 mega-pixel. It measures about 10 cm by 4.5 cm by 2.5cm and fits in its tiny its 3x optical lens, which is very small for a camera of this quality. It fits into your pocket very easily. It also has an Info Lithium battery, which means it can last a lot longer than some other camera's, ...
...I noticed about it is the speed between shots and the start up time. It is very fast and allows you to get a picture in straight away when you need to. The LCD is also very high quality and can be seen in all lights. It measures 1.5 inches, which is respectable for a camera this small. The camera comes in a nice set of stylish colours, dark red, black, blur or sliver. I chose the blue and I really like the look of it. The camera's video capture ...

Review of Sony Cyber-shot DSC-L1

I purchased this camera just over a month ago and now feel as though I can give a satisfactory review. It is compact, like many other brands advertised, but for the price the quality is more noticable. The camera has a solid feel unlike the cheaper plasticy models, which feel as though you could break it in two minuits if your to rough. It is a decent weight and more to the point it takes superb photoes and adaquate movie pictures at just the touch ...
