(In the past, Sony manufactured the sensors strictly for sale, making them available only to D-SLR manufacturers.) The electronics giant believes this enthusiast camera's picture quality will compete with that of D-SLRs and hopes that the fixed-lens design will lure photographers who aren't interested in swapping optics. To sweeten the deal, Sony used a 14.3- to 71.5-mm Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T zoom lens, which gives a zoom range of 24- to 120mm (35mm equivalent) with a maximum f-stop spread of f/2.8 to 4.8."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/dscr1.jpg" /><br /><br />Already posted a review on this a few weeks ago, you can <a href="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=9229&highlight=">find that one here</a>.
