Sony Camera Rx1R

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.

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.

I've owned both the Sony RX1 and the RX1r. Each were designed for specific shooting scenarios and had their own strengths and weaknesses. The Sony RX1rii allows you to have both models in one with improvements in focusing, dynamic range, color capture, etc. I find this model focuses faster than the earlier versions, produces better images, and even better video. I find myself rarely reaching for my full frame DSLR and keep this camera nearby. The variable low pass filter allows me to eventuate resolution when needed or avoid moire when intricate patterns appear in such things as clothing, architecture, etc. This camera is even improved in its low light performance. The pop EVF is great. The camera may have lost its pop up flash, but the smaller Sony flashes fit easily in a pocket or small camera bag. I also kept my Electronic View Finder that I used on the RX1 and RX1r models. It fits on the hot shoe and allows you to swivel it for low composition-- perfect for those who need reading glasses and don't like using the flip up LCD. This camera is expensive, but it's constructed well and performs spectacularly. What good is a camera you leave at home? This one is no chore to carry. Photo opportunities are rarely missed with this camera.

I bought it to carry a Sony RX1R II camera instead of a traditional lens. The protection is very good with thick padding inside. A convenient mesh pocket is available under the top cover. Solid built, fit the Sony RX1R very well. My camera has a wrist strap hooked to it: the case offers enough space to store both.

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.

Got this little bag for the Sony RX1R cam. Fits perfectly, like it was made specifically for it. The outside pocket is ideal for two spare batteries and lens hood. Think Tank bags are among my favorites and highest quality.

This is the perfect thumb grip for the Sony rx1r ll. It fits the body like a glove and blends in as part of the body. Makes this camera super easy to hold.

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.

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 :)
