Nick......the rear half of the butterfly looks smeared and blurry, but the overall image is sweet.  Is it clear at full size??

I believe i shot this one with the sony close up lens on the R1..... never photoshop.

Its amazing how a cameras image quality can still impress after 10 yrs!  This shot was taken with the wide angle lens on the R1, available light, handheld and just the look of the image feels ...

Not sure what happened to that second image but the composition and color of the subjects are beautiful.

Thanks...they were actually shot from above some tidal pools in california. So, a foot above and not underwater .

I also had the 717 and experimented with 1$ plastic container ringflashes back in the day. My buddies also revere the Sony 818 for its super sharp macro images.

Ancient R1 images......

Love my R1 and the wide converter so much......i got a back up!

Yup.....i know the R1 and the long island beaches well.

Depends on the situation but  3 - 5ft

Snakes.....ohhh baby.....thats me!!

Pro's- nice EVF, 4K vid and 4Kstills very nice. Great Price point Cons...annoying lens retraction while reviewing images.....in n out.....in n out. Insane menu options and endless menu ...

IMHO.......The right cellphone camera is a true asset when on a trip. Quick shots here and there you dont think mean anything until you review them.  For the record.....Apple phone tech is years ...

Anyone know why certain cameras have this function available in M mode and some do not? Just wondering....my Sony cams both show live preview in M mode. Thx!

Thanks for the explanation!
