My Sony A7RIV with Sony Carl Zeiss Sonnar 35mm 2.8 are compact and light enough for me.

I used a Fujifilm X-A10 (45 euro) with the ttartisan 27mm 2.8 (150 euro) as an edc. Now with black friday I pulled the trigger on a Sony a6100 with 28mm f2 as an edc. Its a bit better, but the autofocus is a bit nicer. Also ordered the 27mm ttartisan 2.8 again for the Sony if I find the 28mm f2 to big on certain occasions.

Canon EOS Rebel T7, looking to go Sony mirrorless to reduce the weight but not doing it till I can get better hardware specs for $500ish USD I want about 10FPS, 24mp, and more buffer, till then my T7 will do its gotten me through the last 8 years.

I have one. It's the ultimate travel camera for me personally. The rendering of the zeiss sonnar lens is just phenomenal. People say "just get an a7c" but honestly there is no a7c/a7c2 35mm combo that rivals the quality you get in this camera, and certainly not at this tiny size. Sure the tech is aging a little bit, but it also has some killer features like a quiet leaf shutter, LPF settings, etc. And with the high MP sensor you can crop super far if you need to recompose in post. It's super versatile and even has a pseudo-macro mode. It's a great EDC for any situation. It just never found its audience due to the insanely high price. If you can get it for half the cost of retail I would recommend.

I have the original Rx1R from 2013. I don't use it much anymore but it's magic when it acquires focus. Congrats.

Omg what a surreal experience! Thank you!

I have the rx1r and it’s with me every day everywhere. I use it as a side camera to capture something with 35mm quickly. My only concern is that artificial shutter sound. Luckily easy to turn off. Still waiting for the next version of it but I don’t have hopes anymore.. and it’s difficult to choose more megapixels and tilt screen over the cutest speed light for me 😅 In addition to batteries a good quality soft shutter release would be perfect. Enjoy your new camera 🙌

Still hold the RX1 and love it for its exceptional picture quality. Yes, it is somewhat quirky to use but once you have developed a workflow, it will grow on you. It's only real competitor in my bag is the Leica Q as I slightly prefer the 28 mm focal length and its hard-to-beat handling. But I cannot bring myself to sell either. Have fun using the RXII.

One hour ago I downloaded your freer preset and can't wait to use it on the street. Looks like a good sunny fresh day in the childhood. Have a nice days in the Japan with your family 🙂

Hi! @@RodovalPTY no you don't have to know. Also you can use them for both RAW and JPG photos :) Thanks!

Hey Pierre, great video! I actually bought the original RX1 and imported it from Japan to Canada after I saw your review from a few months back. In total it was around $800 CAD which to me was an absolutely amazing price-can’t wait to capture more moments this year. Hoping you do even more videos with this camera!

I bought a used Rx1r on eBay years ago with all the necessary accessories + 3 batteries. It eats batteries. It’s a great street camera, a pocket battleship. The lens alone is worth the price. Worth mentioning is its macro mode. So If you’re in for a fixed lens, don’t mind using your legs, then it may well change your photography. One of the reasons I went for this camera was the results I saw other photographers got with it. The output has a particular 3d quality (depth and clarity) to the images, a stellar lens mated to a full frame sensor.

Thats the one store I didn't stop in on my last visit in Tokyo, congrats on the new pick up!

I went to Japan for 2 weeks last month and carrying RX1R II. Definitely love the results and user experience (being small compact full frame camera with 35mm f2 lens). One thing I hate is just the battery life. Make sure you care at least 2 spare batteries (fully charged) in your pocket

I have the RX1R and refer it over the Leica Q2. There is something wonderful about the images from the lens and sensor combination. Great micro contrast, sharp and the 35mm focal length is spot on. Even the 2x digital crop is usable. This is my only second hand camera but it is my favourite

You know when it's a good shot if you have to stop in the middle of filming a video 4:13 just to take a shot! love it! thank you Pierre for sharing! Hope all is well

I also use the RX1Rii for everday photography - also I had bought the Sony A9 and it was all in Japanese - I did manage to find a service provider who was able to change the menu to English!

cool seeing Map Camera in your into, I just got an s5ii from them shipped to Canada and hey were AWESOME!

The presets collection is cool, that you are using. Thank you for providing presets for free to your youtube family members❤. Thank you so much Love from India 🇮🇳

Im also in love with my RX1RII. It is my everyday camera since 5 Years. Ok, I have also the A9 and a couple of Lens es, but the RX1RII is so powerful and tyni...

Congratulations for gift of your christmas. I do love that camera too.

Great information Jason! We need more videos like this one. Also, where did you get that mini Sony camera?

I've been wanting this camera since I discovered it, but haven't been able to find it at an affordable price so, definitely if I would have found it for that cost it would have been a no brainer. Nice find !!

I really love this video, hope you enjoy with your Christmas present🎉

Knew it! RX1RM2! I have one too I bought second hand in Montreal 2 years ago. Love it, good for you!

YES :-) I got my RX1R II when it came out in 2015 and still love it. I had also the Q1 Q2 Q3 and come always back to the SONY. Togehter with a RAYNOX Close Up Lens and a little flash you can take very nice Macro shoots. Unfortunately you can't post photos in the comment here 🤪

Fun to be that excited. Good luck with it.

I loved my RX1 - bought a tiny stick on rubber grip designed for the RX100 which worked beautifully.

I have one. It's my favorite camera. It was my grail for years, and about a year ago I finally decided to buy one, and since then I have shot with it almost every single day. There is just something irresistible about this camera. The form factor, the lens, the sensor, it's just a sublime combination. I use an A74 for work and an RX1007 for my most discreet street work, but my RX1R2 is without a doubt the camera I enjoy the most. When I'm traveling, with friends, or just on a walk to clear my head, my RX1R is the camera I reach for every time. I think it comes down to sheer sexiness. More than any other camera I've ever owned, I just can't resist my RX1R. I want to hold it, I want to push its buttons, I want to pop up the hidden viewfinder and hold it up to my eye. It has a certain irresistible grace. This is why I insist that this camera is the closest Sony has ever come to replicating the "feel" of a Leica. It just has that perfect combination of factors that, imperfections and all, make you CRAVE it. It's not a perfect camera, but it's a damn near perfect object. It's a work of art, which is such a departure from the staid pragmatism Sony usually goes for. It's great to see the RX1R getting love again. Who knows, if we hype it up enough, maybe they'll make a mark 3???

Your, passion, vision and love for the art is so enjoyable to see! I don't get out much during the winter here in Chicago because I have a disability and I'm a full-time wheelchair user. I hope to bump into you one day just to say hi. I've learned so much from you for my passion of taking photos!

I’m happy for you! I’d feel that way about the new Fuji x100vi

I got the RX1 when it came out here in France in Dec 2012 and still use it all the time today. Photo quality & size factor make it a great default device. When I change the battery, the calendar & time go back to 0, the little blue lever that holds the battery in place is broken so I have a bent piece of plastic that keeps the battery perfectly in position and I always have the electric viewfinder on that I've attached with a black elastic hair band so it never slips off 😂 I still have about 20 batteries that charge up fine and a few dedicated chargers. People still laugh at the size until they see the shots it produces that stand out beautifully. And not to mention surprising great low-light / night hand-held ability.

I am with you on wanting that Sony RX camera more than a Leica Q or Fujix100v. Great you found a mint version. For my wants, 35mm is my preferred focal length if working with just one focal length. Let’s hope Sony comes around to making a new version. I held one of these many years back and was wowed by its compactness. Good luck sorting out the Nippon-only menu.

Hey, Pierre! I've been watching your content a lot since I discovered you recently and I gotta say you have some pretty amazing stuff! I also noticed that you love travelling around for these shoots and was wondering if you'd ever be interested in shooting in Jamaica in the future?

Some great railway shots there, I too love photography when in Tokyo. That camera is superb, except the battery maybe. I have the new Sony A7CR which is compact too and just crazy good.

Cool review....I am kinda frugal when it comes to gear...My favorite full frame walkabout "street rig" currently is an eosRP with a 28mm F2.8 pancake lens along with an EF 100F2 plus adapter in my pocket....I am retired in Bangkok.

I've had the RX1R2 since 2015. It was the first full-frame I've ever owned. I will keep it until the end. I've learned a lot about photography using it. I still like to do a random trip with just that sweet li'l baby. Had to buy a six-pack of batteries, though. And carry them each time.

Nice camera. I rented RX1R once for a vacation and enjoyed it a lot.

I Luv this camera, good choice!

Great review had this camera it was amazing but too complicated for me. I sold it to get the RX 10vi because of the zoom lens and video capability. Video was awful on the RX1, but the photos were unbelievable. I also have the RX10 7 which is very capable. I hope you enjoy using the Sony

Those Konica shots were warm and beautiful. 😙👌

Managed to snag a used A7III for 1000€ in south Korea, came with the 24-70 kit lens, had a shutter count of 1200, really hyped to start snapping more photos. Truly Asia is something else when it comes to the used market

I've had the RX1 & also picked up the RX1R II a while back, love both! A lot of full frame power packed into a compact space. Love the viewfinder, body & lens, the sensor is awesome, the only thing is the poor battery life. You need at least 3 batteries for a good solid day of shooting if not 4, 1 in the body, 3 ready to go. That aside, it's one of Sony's better cameras if you can get past the price. I was able to score a good deal on mine second hand. I'd love to see more of what you do with this camera, hopefully, we get at least 1 more video, love the content & channel, much respect!

Bought a nice JDM camera in Tokyo. I use Google Lens to go through the menu to set it up. Nice content. I'm hooked !!

Maybe there won't be a version 3 because of the amount of development going in to the A7C series. With the right lens, that series can be just as compact. As for the Japanese menus, is it not possible to download the international version of the firmware and "upgrade" the firmware?

Your comment 'my mum, my daughter, my wife, the three most important women in my life' , that made me smile, I like it! Really enjoy your passion of trying out new cameras. I would love to travel to Tokyo one day. Really nice Japan street photography! Enjoy!

As a Rx1r and recent Q3 owner…. Q3 user experience is just another level after taking it around Europe and leaving my A7R5 in the hotel safe

13:28 Loved this shot I really hope Sony will make a mark III with A7RV's AI AF and sensor and a smaller 35mm. That will rule the compact market

​@@jammaschanno doubt about Sony company choices, they do their math. But however small it may be, the 7CR with a 35mm will always exceed the R1XRII weight and dimensions, it almost doubles it. Nowadays Sony's engineering would be capable of a R1XRIII with A7RV sensor and AF in just 300/400g. Or same weight but a f1.7 lens, Leica like. My dream would be a 28mm.

this camera is soooo great. i had the sony Rx1r and if there comes a follow up camera to the Rx1r ii then i will buy it as a back up to my A7r3

Wow, I didn't know this camera existed! Here I was looking for a Q3 (no luck) and a used beat up Q2 for 3 4k plus. Thanks for the video!

I just got back from Japan. The amount of used camera stores there are INSANE. Osaka, Shinjuku, Tokyo, Kyoto, Yokohama. They're everywhere

HI i had my first sony rx1 since march 2013 i liked it so much at the point i bought also the rx1 rII but with this last one i have recently a problem with viewfinder doesn't work anymore .

Okay, you i think already used this one, but would you prefer that or the Fuji x100v?

Great choice

I really like the RX1R and kinda want one but feel like you’re just way better off with the A7C and a the 40G.

great, congratulations 😍

I saw both your Sony RX1R videos and really liked them both. I have the RX1 and found the RXRII for $1500US on FB so I’m considering buying it. Is the auto focus that bad?

I just got a a7cr which is pretty amazing in using it with the Sony 16-35mm PZ which doesnt weigh anything really

I wish someday, I could also used them. I love your videos Pierre!

Oh man, this video just made me feel as if I would be back in Japan. Just five days ago I visited Map Camera and almost bought a Nikon F3. And on Friday I had a flight back to Europe. Would have preferred to stay in Japan😓. Pierre, enjoy your new camera and have a wonderful time in Japan😎👋!

I have had it too. Its amazing. The battery drives me nuts but I always come back to it for the unique image quality.

the back of heads are a great subject!

Got my RX1R for 700, it's a quirky camera but it's just so enjoyable to use when I want to go slow, got a evf and oVF for it for the full experience. Add the leather grip for more comfort when I want to. It's nice being able to strip it down to as small as it could be when I want to. the battery problem is a thing, but i remember to buy a new original battery for it and got about twice the milage of my old battery, its an old camera with old, tiny battery so i guess age degradation sap most of its life. They are so small tho that carrying 3 battery is about the same size as carrying 1 normal size sony camera battery, soi always have one tucked somewhere in my bags as i bought one pack of 3rd party battery so i can have spares no matter which bag i choose to bring that day. I'm hoping for the RX1 to keep their current used price for a while knowing how unique it is in sony's portofolio. Sony made a fold away thumbgrip made for the rx1 called TGA-1 but they are about 50 usd i cant find myself buying it. it folds so it allows access to the preview button and also have a cold shoe on top for mounting stuff. might worth it for you. For a real deal i did get the evf for 150 and ovf for 100, official leather case and grip for 50 also, so am packed. the Carl Zeiss oVF is so clear, bright and beautiful compared to anything the display and eVF can show, my ideal is always to replicate what i can see through it. My only problem with the camera is the unreliable AF so I think you do good on getting the mk2. I really do wish Sony out a mk3 with a new lens and absolutely reliable Autofocused, that's the one thing the Q3 and X100v can't manage still.

Bullshit no one sold that camera in decent shape for $700 it literally has been over $1500 used for years (and over 2000 in the US)

Whill highly appreciate if you could tell what camera gear are you using to vlog in this particular video

Japan is just something else... The most vibrant, elegant and interesting city in the world

I appreciate all of the love for the RX1Rii. It is a very good camera. But as someone who owns both that Sony and the Q3, I really don’t think there’s any competition - the Leica is such a beautiful piece of equipment. The Sony takes wonderful photos and is very portable, but the interface between photographic subject and photographer is SO superior through the Leica.

Can you make a video on the best camera stores to visit while in japan?

If I could find one for 1500. I would buy it also. I have a oe rx1 and love it except it is a little slow these days, it really shows when I am out with my A-9.

6:31 Wait! Is that MacDonald the same one from Weathering With You?! So cool!

dang RAW looks gorgeous af already

Looks like a cool camera! Sony must release a new version of this with a better battery life!

What are the advantages of this instead of the a7iii with the sony 35 f1.8 (that i use as a edc camera)? Tks :)

Great video,great camera.

I have the RX1Rii and the batteries are like chicklets. Have a pocket full. No biggie. Never selling it. Definitely a collector piece and gorgeous in use.

May I ask you what camera you used to shoot the wide-angle first-person view in the video when you were street shooting?

You should get the pocket 3 to make your walk and talk vlogs.

may i ask if i use gopro hero 12 to shoot photos, result as good as this sony mirrorless?

I just want a version 3!!! Also, there's an RX1, which is full frame, there's an RX100 which is a 1" sensor, so would an RX10 be an APS-C size sensor compact street photography camera?

What camera are you using for the vlog style?

How do this one cmpares to Sony A7Riii?

I have Lumix GF6 with 14-42 power zoom lens, cost me about 75 euro used but gz, you seem to be on another level

Nice vid! This the only SONY I would buy today. I love the compactness and design! Can you not change the language in the setup?

I had it for awhile after it was release as my 2nd camera. Then I sell it away and go on using the 35GM on my A7Rii.. almost the same just that it's obviously alittle bigger than the RX1... The RX1 line is so good.. since its compact af and IQ is really up there. The only con is the battery life and the af is alittle slow for faster moving subjects.. For still or slow moving.. it's probably the best camera.. if you're fine with 35mm.. (Altho some Q user will say Q is better?) Everyday I just hope Sony can revisit the RX1 line.. make a RX1Riii... the ii is long overdue.. if the new one keep it same size and weight.. and have AI focus and can af as quick as a1 or a9 or a7rv.. I'll get it in a heartbeat.. it's just the best. Small/light.. decent noise.. Superb IQ..

One thing about Sony cameras sold in Japan is that you can't change the language unless it is an international model. I owned one before and I thought I could live with it but eventually it's frustrating even though I can somehow read some of it (katakana) because I live here in Japan. I guess you can just google translate it and eventually memorize the whole menu.
