Measuring 3 " x 1 " x 1", the L1 model is powered by Sony's Real Imaging Processor circuitry, delivering outstanding shot-to-shot speed, stamina and quick start-up time for catching the action as soon as it happens.For the first time in the ultra-compact class of digital cameras, the Cyber-shot L1 model delivers a 1.5-inch transflective LCD, making it easier to see what's on the LCD even in bright sunlight.It also has a new Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3X optical zoom lens, setting the stage for picture quality typically delivered by larger, more expensive digital cameras.Like all Cyber-shot cameras, the DSC-L1 model has speedy auto-focus and auto-exposure options to snap the best picture the first time. You can quickly select the best setting based on the shooting conditions by choosing from one of seven preset modes, including twilight, snow, beach and fireworks.Four newly developed technologies - including a linear focus drive and a compact high-resolution optical system - combine to produce the ultra-small lens. This lets you zoom in for crisp images of a flower or zoom out for a far-away shot of the game-winning goal, all the while staying in sharp focus.When used with Memory Stick PRO Duo media, the L1 camera's high-quality MPEG Movie VX Fine mode captures and plays back high-resolution moving images with 640x480 pixel resolution at 30 frames per second, up to the capacity of the memory media card.The L1 camera provides approximately 240 shots per charge of the InfoLithium battery, with a to-the-minute, on-screen display of remaining battery life. |

Love my Ol L1
Have had this camera since it hit the market about 4-5 years ago. I have taken more than 4000 pictures with it.
I love it for it's speed, image quality, and size.
It is always with me because it is tiny.
It turns on in like 2 seconds, shutter is almost real time fast!
Today it is an excellent value at less than 100 usd used.
Have a 7.1 mp Olympus which is water/shock proof... we like the DSC-L1 better when we are away from sand and water because of it's speed and superior auto function.
It Keeps Going
I've had this camera since 2005 and it's still going strong. Battery life seems like forever. Quality of pictures hasn't diminished in these three years. It's taken quite a beating cosmetically but hasn't had one problem. Sony=quality.
Hardy Little Camera
I've had this camera since 2005 and I love it. It works everytime and anytime I use it. I'm very OCD about taking care of my stuff so I guess that's why it has lasted this long. I think as a everyday camera, it's great. But as a rugged high-usage camera, forget it. I worked at one of those electronics stores in the camera dept and I got so many returns on this little camera. What was the #1 reason? It didn't last through wear and tear of heavy usage. Many people mistake the small size as durability. Sony makes good cameras but this one is not for rookie camera folks. I would recommend getting a Kodak or Canon SureShot as a first camera, then graduate yourself to this one. People complain that their pictures aren't good in dark/low lighting. Well, of course! The tiny flash on this thing isn't going to make a big impact on the lighting of your pictures. If you actually go through and read many reviews of different cameras, you'll find that dark/low lighting settings are not advisable for ANY digital camera. I have to admit, the screen is horribly small so be prepared to squint a lot. Otherwise, I believe this camera is well worth the money because it does what it is made for.
Pass this one up
This was not a cheap camera. We paid over $200.00 for it, trusting the Sony name for quality. First of all the buttons are very small so if you have larger fingers, you may not like the controls. Secondly, it does not take the photos as quick as a digital of this caliber should, often photos turned out blurry. Additionally, our camera broke while still under warranty, we had to pay to have it shipped to a service center and were required to add insurance and only use UPS shipping, all of which cost over $15.00. The camera was returned to us and worked for about a month and then the same problem happened, however this time it was not under warranty and Sony would not cover the repair unless we paid $112.00 for the repair service, plus additional shipping.
What a waste of money this purchase was!
Got this as a gift... not too pleased
I wanted a nice small digital camera just to have to take pictures. My grandma bought me this one. I was pleased with it for awhile, it's small, portable, light and easy to take pictures with that the quality are pretty good, all things considered.
Although, only about 5-6 months after receiving it, it broke. It started making this annoying clicking sound and the lens wouldn't emerge, the only thing it did was display pictures...
Since it was still under warranty, I sent it in and had it repaired for free. Then it was great...
It broke a few months later, the same problem, only this time it wasn't under the one year warranty and it'd cost over a hundred to repair it... and I could just get a different camera with that money...
So this isn't the best choice... though maybe I just got a defective camera.
