A Leica Q killer, ultimate point n shoot.
So, I finally got my camera on the last day of 2018. Technically, it’s a piece of tech that’s three years old. In terms of the tech world, it’s like three decades... or really?
I’ll start with the ‘dislikes’:
1. This camera is really really expensive! For a fixed lens camera, only Leica Q can match its price tag. But hey, it’s Leica! That red dot along would worth a fortune.
2. The camera makes you feel like a piece of expensive jewelry in your palm, so be careful while walking with it in the Street. Any dent or scratch will definitely break your heart!
3. Hungry for batteries. Youd better prepare two extra batteries to carry out serious shooting sessions.
4. Not weather resistant
Above are all the complaints I have for it. But here comes to ‘likes’:
1. The near medium format image quality right in your palm. Yes, the image quality is stunning! I have to admit this camera is not for rookie photographers and, to bring out the distinctive power, you’d better obtain some degree of post-processing knowledge in Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop. But as long as I start shooting with this little baby, I am kissing goodbye to my old full frame DSLRs and lens. With its Dynamic Range of 13.9 ev at ISO 50, it easily beats the latest Leica M10 which is almost one full stop behind in DR. My images say it all!
2. The portability. Well, I can easily fit it in my winter coat pocket. It’s a point n shoot after all. Don’t feel like mirrorless or DSLR in my hand except for its image quality and functionality.
3. Sony has implanted a computer in this little thing and all the settings, once you mastered them, come so handy for you to deal with various shooting needs. I strongly recommend buying an independent shooters guide by Alexander S White. which provides more insights in bringing out the full potential of the camera.
4. 35mm is the sweet spot for portrait, street photography and landscape. Techically, this lens is slightly wider than a traditional 35mm, at about 33mm by some tech reviews. But checkout the gas town image I shot from the middle of the road. If you like the wide angle view, chances are you will be happy with this 35mm lens, needless to say it’s advantages over the 28mm when cropping is used in post processing.
All in all, this camera can be a great supplement to your Phone camera or your existing mirrorless or DSLR system. It’s portability makes it the ultimate travel companion. It’s definitely a Leica Q killer, unless you have to use zone focusing or your are obsessed with the red dot. I’d highly recommend it to any intermedium photographer who seeks the ultimate combination of image quality and portability.

Point n’ Shoot at its best
I don’t use it for my professional work, but for casual shooting, this camera is the best today’s technology can provide.
A perfect balance between image quality and size. I bought it mainly for the 200mm focal range, and let me tell you, the final images that come out it are almost comparable to some of the professional cameras out there!
Remember, it’s only 1-inch sensor! Yes, you have all those computational techs today, but optical performance is something of a luxury to pursue and for people who are serious about digital imaging.
I have used it along with my RX1RM2 for all my day-to-day shooting cravings in the past few months. I can get so much more from its RAW files than the ProRaw on my iPhone.
Overall, very satisfied with this camera!

Great Features Small Package
Got Tired Of Luging Around a full size DSLR on my vacations.
This camera is great, fits in a shoulder bag with plenty of room for guide book, sunscreen, and snacks. takes great pictures and can download them to my smartphone so I can send them to family and friends. Really happy with this camera.
Only drawbacks are
1: its a bit of a power hog so a spare battery is a must.
2: have found the 35mm only lens a bit frustrating at times. (I've learned to do more editing as a result, but being able to zoom from 24mm- 80mm would just make this camera perfect)

tiny tank
I sold all my photo gear last year and I really miss not having a quality camera. In my
search RX1R ll caught my eye. Small, light with the bells and whistle's of larger
cameras. I'm still going through the testing faze, so far so good.
