Dsc Rx1R Review

I loved my RX1R but the slow focusing was a bit annoying. The Rx1R II is much faster and is a great camera. The images and versatility of this camera are ideal for me. The new viewfinder is a welcome addition as is the tilting back display. People have been talking about short battery life, I just carry spares. The new case is also great because you do not have to remove it to gain access to the battery compartment. Overall I love this camera and highly recommend it.

AN absolute requirement for the SONY DSC RX100

Great quality. Fits the wider threads of the RX1R's shutter button.

I use this for my RX1R. Its barely larger than the battery itself, and you can use the charger as a battery holder its so compact...connect via USB and away you go.. perfect.

I used an RX1R for about a month and while it was a great camera, the AF was a huge drawback if anything in the frame was moving. Fast forward to the M2 and the focusing on this thing is fantastic. While it isn't perfect, it does an admirable job of keeping up with my 1 year old for those days I don't want to get the DSLR out. IQ is fantastic and the file sizes haven't been too bad to deal with. Battery could be much better, but there are cheap extra batteries readily available if you don't mind 3rd parties.

Bought this to carry my Sony RX1R. The camera fits but you have to stretch the zipper in order to close the bag. This makes taking the camera out quickly very impractical. For something with a lower lens profile (Ricoh gr3 or Fuji x100) this would be perfect. Still, I like the design of the bag so will keep it for carrying my phone and keys.

Nice padding for my Sony RX1R II. Fits perfectly and the mesh pocket holds some spare batteries.

I have starting my new Fotodix X Pro Soft Shutter release button on my Sony RX1R II camera. It works as expected and really assists when shooting with slow shutter speeds.

The image quality that comes from the RX1, RX1R and the RX1R II is amazing, coming from such a small camera. The tilt screen and the pop-up electronic view finder is makes the mark ii version of this camera even better. Improved auto focus is a great improvement allowing more sharp images when tracking a subject. The manual controls make this camera a joy to use. The 35mm focal length is my favorite, and this camera allows me to focus on taking pictures, rather than carrying heavy camera bag with multiple lenses. Also good for astrophotography (summer months better to capture the milky way) as chromatic aberration doesn't re-shape stars like the 6D / 24L or 35L combo did for me previously. Definitely a keeper! Get a few extra batteries too ... you'll need them :)

RX1R II is a great camera, but for the awkward grip that one has to bear. This solves that problem, and makes RX1RII my favourite camera!
