Anyone got the rx1r at promo price of 2999?

If you shoot for whole day, you definitely need to bring 1-2 spare batteries. Similar for the A7R, which measure 270 shots CIPA.

AF is definitely not the DSLR type. It does not have phase tracking, so this is not as good for sports, but it is super accurate when in focus, every shots are sharp. I get more keepers than my A7R with 55FE.

No regrets selling my A7R and went back to RX-1R. Even though I bought it the second time for more than $3.8k.

Sold my A7R before any paint drops started, but after 1-2 months of use and cleaning, very light signs of swirls marks appeared on the A7R paint surface. The built quality of A7R is one level below the RX1-R, and IQ to me, RX1-R is better.

If you like IQ of RX1, you will like RX-R. Sharper, more details.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the all your valuable input.

I'm used to have the RX1 and the feel is really good. That time i bought 2nd hand from CS @ 3k. Now a brand new RX1r is less than that (really tempting).

Having said that, I find its battery life sucks and AF also not up to standard but i think it has more positive sides than negative ones.

Guess I will go for RX1r

Anyone knows if the rx1r promotion offer is still valid?

I think you might have missed the boat, but why not just pick up a call to check?

It is still one of the best full-frame (if it is not the Best) compact that you can get, and if you don't mind a used set, there are a few people selling in the BNS threads.

I called CP and MS, think I really missed this great offer! Thanks for your help!

Anyone here have changed from RX1 to A7/R or vice-versa? I am using D800E and planning to get mirrorless for travel use. I am looking at 35mm so both cam r welcome. Can share your thoughts? I am leaning towards RX1 now mainly because I have used it a year back but should I go for A7 with 35mm instead? Cheers!

I had a7 and rx1r. After a while I realized I was only using the 35 2.8 on the a7. I sold the a7 bec rx1r gave me 35 2 and it's fixed mount. Only problem is lousy af.

Get the A7s to complement the RX1R.

For thoe interested to know, grey market for the RX1R in Hong Kong equates to about $2.4K.
