Gone a bit quiet here. Anyone else bought this camera? I finally managed to pick one up for myself. Was a long wait because of the recall and even now when production has resumed, stocks seem to be super limited for this camera in singapore. Some further initial impressions and information I...

Hi guys, Previous RX1R user here. Used my old camera for more than 2 years as my primary cam and was very familiar with it. Walking by the Sony store at NEX mall I was able to play around with the RX1R II there (there was only the one in the display case but I asked nicely and they let me play...

Any reviews on the AF speed and accuracy? Pretty much as good as the A7R II? And hows the EVF?

Local pricing confirmed at $4999. Ouch

Will be buying this camera at launch...over the years nothing from the Sony Alpha series could tempt me away from my RX1R and am super excited about the new version The only issues I had with the original was the slow AF speed, the inability to select minimum shutter speed in auto ISO, and...

I bought this flash for my RX1R not too long ago. Its pretty much everything promised. Small, light, head swivels 360 degrees everywhere and for me at least, plenty of power. TTL on-camera works great, as well as optical slave mode off-camera (manual only, no TTL). Because there is only 2 dials...

I still love my RX1R, and am not at all tempted by the A7/A7R even after using it for a while. There's something very special about this camera.

Thanks Zoomz, I just took a look myself and was only able to find the exact same page you linked too. As you mention, in the dpreview test the A7 is using a very high quality 85mm f/1.4 zeiss lens against the RX1R system, apertures at f/5.6. I can see a small advantage in contrast (maybe a...

Oly, While you are entitled to present your test in any which way you wish, ultimately the aim is to compare apples to apples, this is simply not possible if you cannot hold the focus point constant. If you wanted to highlight the differences in AF performance, there is another set of tests you...

I'd like to highlight some mistakes you might have made You missed the focus in the first image. How do I know? Because the background reflection at f/2.0 and f/2.8 from the RX1R (which I assume are the left and center images) is actually more in focus that the pic with the A7. With the same...

To answer the some questions asked earlier, 1) the AF box can be made smaller. When using the focus mode on center AF, the box is larger, to make it smaller, use the flexible spot AF mode which uses a smaller AF box. Some have mentioned that using the larger box makes it focus faster than the...

Sure, here they are for comparison. It is impossible to get any more shadow detail out of it without severe artefacts appearing. Old pics included, but I'll use smaller versions this time so I don't clog up this thread. Seeing them all side by side now, even pushed the jpg can't even come close...

Just for fun and based on your advice I tried to mess around with the jpg, even with +2EV there was too little detail in the shadows and the sky was completely blown. Next I copied in my RAW adjustment settings to the JPG and it looked pretty terrible, there were artefacts everywhere and it just...
