I love the form factor and the 42M full frame sensor. It’ s iconic.

I have been using this as my main camera for a couple of years now. Having this good low light performance plus the ability to carry it easily everywhere on my travels has allowed me to take some really cool shots.

Hi, whats your main lense?😊

Sony need to release the Rx1R III now.. make it has the af of A1... it will be so beast of a 35 fix focal length

@MuhammadKharismawan

I doubt it'd have the speed of the A1, neither the A7SIII's high fps, the body is too small to accomodate that kind of stress it'd overheat so much. IF, Sony relent like how they did after A7mk1 and make the body bigger, to at least X100 size, they should be able to try something, but man... Remember also, you see that circle with a line on top of the body? that means the lens' is that far back of the camera's body and it basically took 3/4 of the body's thickness, theres a reason Full Frame compacts cant do nothing but take slow, albeit great pictures.

I have it since 2016 and I am still using it to this day. I even shot campaigns with it in confined places where my D850 was too bulky. Definitely would buy it again and really hoping they put out a version 3 in the near future :)

It's a great camera IMO, very affordable alternative to something like the Leica Q2 but a step up from the X100V being full frame and having much better glass. The problem is exactly what you said: it's 7 years old at this point and they're still selling it new for $3500 in the US!! That's insane and IMO, just marketing strategy to increase sales during the release because if the price never goes down, the best time to get the camera is when it's first released.

I've used the RX1 series exclusively for the past 10 years and I absolutely love them. They're not perfect but the image quality is just phenomenal.

I love this video because I just bought an RX1RII a couple of weeks ago and it immediately became my favorite street camera…the FF DoF can’t be beat at that size! Plus, yes, it is slow, but I find myself focusing more on taking well composed pictures, and rock the camera with the viewfinder and eyecup attached. The best part was I bought it used for $1600 from a local camera shop who didn’t know what they had on their hands! I agree that you should only get this thing if you can get a bargain on it…ultimately, I will trade it in for the mark III immediately if that ever gets released.

Totally agree, needs an update; AF, Joy stick, menu, etc. I grabbed a like-new RX1R for around a grand. Still quite formidable in low light due to that ridiculously close flange distance.

Some consider the 35mm Zeiss lens on this camera to be one of the best 35MM lenses EVER made. I agree - it's wonderful on my RX1 and RX1RII.

I use an a7II. Nice to know that this little thing is performing pretty much the same, if not better in some regards

Amazing camera!

The best bargain is the original RX1. The RX1r is also a tip! The Zeiss Sonnar 35mm on this camera is one of the best 35mm lenses ever made. Despite the higher resolution on the Mark 2, I prefer the original RX1(r). It's better on battery, has a built in flash and a faster start up time. The 24MP sensor is also fantastic. But all RX1 cameras are absolute classics.

I found a used a RX1 for $300 locally. It's AF has limits especially in low light. But the IQ is amazing and it's super quiet and small.

I just set to center focus and crop when I edit. 42mp allows a lot of room to crop in closer

I have some of the latest gear for mirrorless, Sony A7R3, A7R4, Nikon Z, Fuji X-H1, etc., but I also have the Sony RX1-R that I consider to be one of the best compact cameras EVER made. I bought the Leica Q2 but returned it because it could not match the Sony RX1-R. I tried the RX1-R2 but did not think it was as good as the RX1-R because the photo sites on the sensor are much smaller. The RX1-R is the "sweet spot" for this genre of camera, I think, and the Zeiss Sonnar 35mm f2 is one of the best lenses Zeiss has ever produced. Thank you for good review!

Happy you found one used in Japan. Is there a way to update the firmware to get a the English menu?

I've had this camera since it came out. It's my favorite digital camera. Paired with my XPan it's a perfect street photography set up. That said it does have some big drawbacks starting with the initial cost. It literally is the same price as 2016. Battery life is horrible, I regularly have 5 batteries always packed. I won't use them all in a day but it's better to have them in pocket vs at home. Lastly the pop up view finder has quit on me this past summer, just died-turned green then no image. Camera still shoots and I just use the lcd in back to frame up shots. I'm going to use it as is for a while and see if I'm bothered by not having the viewfinder. Side note I always have used the viewfinder prior. All these drawbacks have not made me ever question what camera I'm taking out. The form factor is amazing. The lens is amazing. The image quality is amazing. Yes, autofocus is not the fastest but this camera is a scalpel not a food processor. There are many other choices for getting that shot in a fast paced environment, your phone being most likely a better choice. The RX1RII is more for the quiet moments, where you can take a breath and compose your shot.

and i still use sony RX1 since 2014. and i still use sony RX1 since 2014. don't forget, this lens has a macro mode, it's very fun and awesome for detail shot.

Not saying it’s comparable to this but I use a Sony a5100 with a 20mm 2.8 pancake lens. It’s super small and works for everyday carry & capturing my personal family. I don’t use it for my professional work obviously, but it’s easy to throw in a jacket pocket. If Sony comes out with a newer version of the RX1RII I’d definitely want to get it.

I have the Rx1.. The lens is absolutely Insane.

This is what I was ranting for years :D this camera needs just 3 simple upgrades. - internals from 7R3, not 7R4 because it is worse in low light - battery from 7R2 at least, better the newer one from 7R3 because the lens is not so compact, if the grip is bigger it will be only better - touch screen That's it. I had one in me a couple of years ago and I felt the good stuff and I wanted one but it was more expensive than my 7r2 with 35 1.8 and the AF was worse and video was much worse, the battery was a joke... so I skipped it. But the lens with this shutter, the form factor, the sensor... it is a serious competitor in the Fuji X100, Leica Q sector if they make it right.

This camera is my all time #1 favorite camera hardware. It's the ONLY digital camera that's actually the same size as a film camera, and also full frame, and also has all the right controls. The old Sony colors suck, skin tones always look puke green or wax yellow, and if you try to change it with the white balance it turns the whole scene pink. This isn't like the X100V where you can just shoot JPEG and upload, this camera requires RAW and post processing, I found having a colorchecker profile for it makes things much easier, cuz even the default profile in Lightroom isn't that great.

For me, the pros are shadow recovery, impressive sensor color science, dynamic range, silent leaf shutter, + the lens has the ability to convert to a macro. A point you mentioned that I disagree with is the battery life: while dismal, you should consider the temperature at which you ran your test. I get an average of 215 shots per battery but in colder temps, I'd obviously get less. Overall, this camera is a hidden gem but it isn't work 3.5k in 2023.

I’ve owned a RX1 (first gen) and a RX1R2, recently sold my RX1R2 because I decided to move to a used Q2 for the better battery life and weather sealing, as (sadly) Sony doesn’t seem to be thinking about releasing a mk3 and my bank account doesn’t allow me to keep both 🫠. The Q2 is fantastic but the RX1s will always have a special place in my heart (especially the original one). In contrast to the razor-sharp images from the Q2, the RX1s produce images that have a mellow (even soft) feel but still incredibly detailed with a lot of depth, and even the JPEGs are very easy to edit. In times where even a used X100V can be sold for over $2000, I think the RX1s are of incredible value at their used prices. Fingers crossed for a mk3, though I don’t have high hopes 😇

One more thing… the shutter on this is a leaf shutter. So it’s silent and strobes work at any speed. it doesn’t take a huge generator setups to overpower the sun. It’s superb for editorial work. Take a wireless flash, a Manfrotto Nano and an umbrella-softbox and you have a complete studio setup under 3kg that fits in your carry-on. To me it’s totally worth the price for exactly this reason. The A7 line just can’t do this.

Pierre, love your work! I recently bought the A7rv with a new grip and found that the grip did not fit and later found out that that is an issue with the current grip sold and said to fit as per the Sony Corporate, but I can tell you that after taking it back to Precision Camera in Austin Texas I was told that I was among numerous a7rv owners advising that the battery grip fitment was off. I had a gap that I was able to see through. Was wondering if you had the same issue if and when you tried a battery grip with your camera. There is a big thread on DP Review regarding this issue. Hope it gets fixed soon and maybe you could contact some of your Sony rep's and see what's up with this issue. Keep up the good work. Thank You

Videos specs? I don’t even care that much. For all I care I’d say chuck the A7C’s video capabilities in there and it’s got more than I need. Oh yeah, one more thing. Give it a decent battery.

Along with customizable buttons these three options make their cameras very easy to work with, but ONLY once you’ve ploughed through everything they can do and once you know how to set your camera up in a way that suits you. Also, there are no modern conveniences like dragging and dropping functions to a custom button or menu, or e.g. when you’re in the regular menu, quickly assigning something to a custom button, function menu or my menu. NOPE. You have to go to the appropriate menu section for that and find that item you wanted to add in a list all over again. So that’s pretty inconvenient. Also, their menus are pages upon pages (36 pages on my A7C for example). Good luck rembering what to find where. That’s where "my menu" comes in.

I still have the original mk1 (not the R version) Love the lens & pockatability & was nowhere near the price to the Rii. Manual aperture ring & pretty direct controls/custom buttons are really good too. The original lacks a viewfinder, so the screen’s a bit of a limitation in some conditions (and it doesn’t swivel). Mine has also lost the manual focus control (common fault on the Al, not sure about the Rii) and service cost is very high to fix that. The other point - partly due to lack of viewfinder & the size for handling, I do miss it not having any stabilisation - if they do a v3, I’m not sure I’ll be able to justify the price, but hopefully they can squeeze in sensor stabilisation or something

Better buttons/dials and current A7 series tech and touchscreen. They could make that smaller than X100 and hopefully under $1,500. I believe there is room in the market with the huge raise in sales and popularity of Leica Q series, Fuji X100 series and Ricoh GR series. Nikon was making a high end APS-C P&S 5-6 years ago-ish but that got shut down due to the Tsunami. I’ve really been looking forward to seeing what the other manufacturers would do in this space.

The reason this camera STILL costs $3K is because there is nothing like it. There’s nothing close to that size with that big of a sensor and that hood of glass. It’s a 1 of 1 unfortunately. The fact that it still sells brand new for $3K is incentive to not make a new one.

gear or sensor size doesn't matter ;). the best camera is the one that you can bring everyday ;)

That's why my phone is a sony xperia pro-i.

Well, the jpeg is a let down for Sony cameras.

I feel like an a7C plus 35mm lens is a more preferable street setup for me. The downside is it doesn’t have the 42mp sensor size but I think that’s fine for most street photography prints. It is damn gorgeous though

A7C with the 40mm 2.5 - awesome lens. It’s on my A7iv most of the time. Would love to testdrive that A7C with it

@@MichielHeijmans that 40mm is a great pancake size. Hefty price but I feel like it’s a nice all around lens for a small minimal setup. I personally use the 35mm 2.8 Zeiss. The only downside for me with it is the lens doesn’t feel great to manual focus with compared to an actual manual lens.

Omg. Add ibis, update to modern Sony specs, drop cost to $1700, and get ready to sell a lot of them.

Want to see you with a fuji camera.

His look that fuji xe4

I do love this camera, I owned one for a while a few years ago. It doesn’t beat the X100V though. The X100 series period is just more fun to shoot with in my opinion. Great video 🤙🏼

Same size ... if you ignore the Lens ! "made by Sonnar" : you mean made by Carl Zeiss as Sonnar is a lens family. How can you say that it could compete à X100v ? Not a serious video

Pierre. Please snow photography marry chrisrmas guys!

Thank you!

why are cameras so expensive???? I oved over to a sony a7iv from my Nikon d3400 for professional work and man I was perplexed as to the price of the lenses, the camera it self is $2.5k. Man I really wish photography industry as a whole would reduce the price of some mid tier camera
