Sony-Cyber-shot DSC-N1

Sony - Cyber-shot DSC-N1 Review

Price (MSRP): $499.95
Megapixel: 8.1
Type: Ultra-Thin Digital Compact
Submitted by: Jacob from Slidell, LA
Date Reviewed: 6/6/2007
Months Owned: 6-11
Photos Taken: 1000-2499
Skill Level: Amateur

What's Hot: Best at Point n' Shoot while riding my Harley.

What's Not: Some of the menus that modify settings are too obsure and hidden beneath layers of sub menus.

Review: The DSC-N1 is a solid little camera. Bought it to take pictures while I rode to Sturgis and take pictures on the fly. It really excells at this! Pictures are generally sharp and bright except when taking shots in somewhat dark interiors. The pictures also seem to come out darkly shaded.
