Summary: The ideal small prosumer digital camera
Review: This is my 5th digital camera. I bought it because my Sony DSC-P9 never fullfill my need for a small camera that could produce profsional quality pictures. This Sony DSC-V1 is all I ever want from a digital camera. It small enough to carry around and the pictures quality it produce is second to none. I love it.

Summary: The Sony DSC-V1 rocks
Review: I invested 3 months of researching and reading reviews on the internet about digital cameras. The Sony DSC-V1 rocks. I have used it for 3 days and I am very impressed with the photos and the ease of use. Sony was the 1'st company to make digital cameras but Canon had been doing a better job until now. The Sony model is clearly a winner over the Canon G5, S45, S50 models. I personally compared the G5 and the DSC-V1 in low light conditions and inside the house and the Sony is clearly a superior camera. It is true that Canon G5 can sometimes produce better pictures in good light conditions but if I can not shoot good pictures in all light conditions then the camera is not a good choice!, the Sony V1 is highly recommended

Summary: Wow...
Review: I have probably beaten everyone out there on the amount of time I spent researching and shopping for this camera. I was going for the Sony P10, but decided I wanted more than just a point-and-shoot camera. The V1 is it. For the price you get so much that I am not even sure when I'll get around to testing everything out. I am particularly excited about the nightshot feature which takes the greatest photos in low-lighted or even pitchblack surroundings. My only complaints, and I have read other reviews complaining about the same things, are that the battery life really is too short and you definitely need to get another memory stick (I bought a 256MB memory stick pro). Other than that, purchasing this camera will bring you hours of pleasure at a time and will capture those unforgettable moments (in still or in movie) as life-like as you would like to remember them. Buy it now!

Summary: Excellent Camera: Blows Competition Away!
Review: I chose this camera because it is the best value for money in its class (on average, about $ 150-200 cheaper than the Canon Powershot G5 or the Nikon Coolpix 5400). The DSC-V1 simply blows the competition away: * design & weight--the V1 is less than 300 grams (10.3 oz exactly), whereas both the G5 and the 5400 are over 350 grams (17.2 and 13.4 oz, respectively);
* features--the V1 has the nightshot, which is astounding; the laser-focus, which is outstanding; and an incredible array of customization and adjustment possibilities (LCD brightness, zoom orientation, to mention few). The camera also looks like a work of art and fits comfortably in your hand. The pop-up flash can startle you at first, however you get used to it pretty quickly and learn not to put your fingers there. Still not convinced? Go to dpreview.com; enjoy the V1's amazing sample pictures; and, see for yourself the "highly recommended" rating given to the V1 by digital camera professionals.

Summary: Very pleased with this purchase
Review: Excellent camera with great quality in a compact package. Good ergo. Clear view screen. Excellent in-doors with organic flash and even better with added external flash (hot shoe). Great color outside under sunny through overcast conditions. Only weakness is a limited optical zoom. But, on balance, exceptional set of capabilities for the size and weight. Overall high resolution, great options, external flash, multi-ISO, many white balance settings, nice preset and manual functions, good AF, small size, infrared for night shooting, MPEG mode ... with Sony quality. Very pleased overall.

Summary: The best overall camera on the market!
Review: I shopped around for a month. Comparing every camera that was 3-5 megapixels and under $800. Long story short, the Sony DSCV1 had the best overall features. The best part was the VGA movies with sound, only limited to the memory stick volume. I was able to replace my older Sony Mavica and my broken video camera with one small package. The pictures are fantastic (only Canon was better), night shots were great (even has nightvision) and the movies were good quality. The camera is a little pricier than some others, but you get what you pay for, and my pictures prove it.

Summary: DSC-V1
Review: I have owned this camera for over a week and simply am loving it.
Before buying it, I did some comparison and research. While Canon's cameras are very close in quality and also are packed with features, with the current $75 promotion, plus a very likely chance that you already own some memory sticks for your other Sony products, DSC-V1's great quality, small size but an abundance of features, you can't go wrong.

Summary: Better than I thought
Review: My third digital camera: Olympus 1.3MP, Canon 2.1MP and now this. I considered the Canon S50 & the 5MP Pentax. I choose this one after reading the reviews on dpreview and checking with my local Sony Shop that they would repair it if it went wrong (the Olympus & Canon have both needed repair - within 12 months of purchase - & both manufacturers have fixed them for free and without hassle (I'm now much more confident buying from the U.S. into the U.K.). The camera is better than expected as I don't find the balance as difficult as the reviews say, nor do I have a problem with the flip up flash - it becomes second nature after a while (I've had the camera 2 months). The camera is a little bit bulky and I can't carry it in my shirt pocket but a belt case has solved that problem. I've found a second battery useful, although I can only recharge via the camera as I have not yet got a separate charger. Have not found this an issue and I have been out all day with the camera. The video option is great. I've never really taken to video but this camera (and my three-year-old) might just convert me. It is easy to use. You can't zoom when videoing nor does the flash work but the quality is acceptable and sound much better than I thought it could be. Recycling to take another picture can take a time but it seems that the flash is the slow-coach and pushing it down allows the camera to come back quicker whilst the flash is charged in the background. The low-light focussing is good, although the very-low contrast focussing uses a red hatching that is displayed on the subject which can be disconcerting and distracting for the subject. It does allow, however, the camera to be held aloft for a different angle and the area being photographed confirmed. Overall a great product. No buyer guilt even though I'm now the proud owner of three different types of memeory card.
