DPreview (Click here) added the Sony RX1R Dynamic range and Noise pages. As you can see there is very little difference between the RX1 and RX1R. Anyway, Pixel Peepers may be happy with that 1-2% resolution increase 🙂
If you don’t care about the tiny bit extra resolution and want to save some dollars you may get the Open BOX RX1 which is sold by [shoplink 19424 ebay]Beachcamera (Click here)[/shoplink]. You save $283! And the RX100 got a slight price drop ans sells for $565 at [shoplink 19425 ebay]BigValue (Click here)[/shoplink].

You should have continued your list:
Mental care = Yes please
Prescribed medication = Yes please
Trying to stay away form cameras that don’t interest you = Yes please
What’s your problem with the RX1? If you are not interested just look somewhere else, I am not interested in bulky DSLRs, but I don’t go complaining under each D800, 5D, etc article complaining how bulky and heavy they are.
Sony tried to create something new and should be applauded for this.
I love that you ask but one question of the poster, “What’s your problem with the RX1?” and yet the poster actually listed their specific problems they have with the respective product:
No viewfinder = No sale
No interchangeable lens mount = No sale
35mm fixed lens = No sale
High price for above = No sale”
Total retard…
“Total retard…” assume you are talking about yourself here.
What he listed is not a problem of the product, it’s just not a product for the poster! Compact cameras don’t have viewfinder and interchangeable lens mount, but I doubt he’s posting under each mention of a compact camera his rants!
What the poster is doing is not discussing the product – he’s TROLLING!
Do you even read you own crap. I mean come on, you ask what is “his” problem with the product, which he lists, then rant that his problem is that he lists “his” problems with the product and not general problems you find with the product. You are a total retard. You really do need to grow a pair.
Kudos to Sony for pushing innovative products to market with all the associated financial risks! In a time of financial crysis I think they are dong the right thing. I feel it’s only them and Pentax willing to try new things, someties Ricoh, the biggest palyers just dragging their feet.
You know, Nikon also has a fixed lens, large sensor camera.
You*re right Everlast… In my opinion this camera is overpriced & has no integrated VF so I would never buy this camera. But it’s the best FF small camera on the market. If someone is looking for something like that, it’s a good choice and makes fun… for sure!
Problem is. Nobody is forcing you to buy. Or at least Sony isn’nt asking you or forcing you to buy either. If you dont like it. Then just move on.
Seriously don’t understand and get it when people had so much to say. All i can think of is. They are just hating because they cant afford it or mad because they are jealous. Period.
I don’t think it’s hate, I think its a potential customer saying what he would rather have. Sony needs that feedback too, they aren’t going to make the same cameras forever you know. Im sure different models will come because of mixed consumer demands.
Maybe people shouldn’t take it so personally.
1+
I’m mad cause I can’t afford such an awesome toy. They might as well price it at $10,000. 🙁
It’s the sharpest camera to me and cures my LBA. There is an attached EVF also.
At this price it can’t be beat in compactness and sharpness.
I am disappointed with the d800 and the a99 after using my friends. They just don’t have the sharpness as my rx1 plus they are too big. Only plus is they can change lens but it still can’t beat the sharpness unless they use other expensive Zeiss and even then it’s not as sharp as the Rx1. Only this that is sharper looks like the RX1r.
Sam!! Come on man, what you mean D800 is not sharp???
Here’s a troubleshooting list to see what could have happened:
Problem: NO Sharpness/POOR Sharpness.
1-Make sure there is a lense attached to the D800.
Solved? Yes. End. No?
2-Be sure to turn the D800 ON.
Solved? Yes. End. No?
3- Check if you are pressing the D800 shutter to take a photograph.
Solved? Yes. End. No?
4-Make sure you have used a D800, replace whatever you’re using with a D800 to continue with this list. Solved? Yes. End. No?
5- You don’t know how to take a picture.
END.
D800 is sharp on it’s own until you pixel peep on the RX1.
I got lucky my D800 is very sharp lol better still I bought it and the excellent Sigma 35mm F1.4 for around the same price as the RX1 [UK] without the expensive EVF making it a glorified P&S holding a camera up inches in front of your face hoping its not to bright so you can see the screen is not the best way to use a £2500 camera lol.
So with the D800 combo you get Better sensor , better AF ,better results , with the RX1 you get smaller and mmmm eh nope can’t think of anything worthwhile lol
Here is a sample about the sharpness of a99, D800, and RX1.

They are different tools. Like I wouldn’t take a D800 with my family at the Zoo and I won’t take a RX1 to shoot auto racing. Plus my little 16gb card can only hold 200 pictures with the D800. I like the RX1 where I can throw it in my wife’s purse and have her take pictures of the kids and food she enjoys.
I prefer a softer look so I like the Sony a99 over the RX1. This is just me. Just like how I prefer 24hz/30hz instead of 120/240hz when watching TV. I rather watch a movie in film than digital because I think digital is too sharp.
RX1 is way too sharp I think and the pictures have a different look than the Sony a99. Either way all the cameras produced sharp pictures viewed at 2048 and even 2592(which I use for my ipad).
YES YES LET THE HATE FLOW THROUGH YOU
test
Everlast, don’t feed the trolls.
Lol keep telling yourself that. The camera is made for a select group of buyers.
If it doesnt fit your needs its not for you. I have the rx1 and ended up selling the nex-7 because it couldn’t compete.
Offtopic – ANdrea, sorry didn’t know where else to put it.
Could you pls. write about all of the rumored/upcoming lenses for NEX that you’re aware of. I know there’s the HQ zoom lens and the 85mm coming, but what else? Does Sony have an updated (i.e. 2013/14 version) of the lens roadmap?
Thanks – keep up the good work.
I am working ont he new roadmap. I got some surprising rumor I have to check first. If true than Sony did hide quite some nice things 🙂
Thanks, Andrea. Much appreciated.
@Admin
You are working on Sony’s new roadmap?
This time they got the right man for the job!
hehe joking, I know you meant the unofficial roadmap.
please let the new roadmap be this year 🙂
By the way … Nikon D800 is a really good camera… no doubt!
It’s incredible how the trolling keeps going and going along with bashing and hating.
Here is not better than DPReview or the videos of Kai and his “pro” test of the camera: shooting in a bowling alley for 2 minutes.
It was happening the same in Steve Huff’s site until he got pissed about it and closed the comments to the people not registered: this sorted out the problem for him but apparently didn’t on DPReview.
One said “this camera is not better than any other dozens in the market now” and I don’t even wanna mention other non-sense.
What I feel like to say is: just use your camera at its best (if you can) and stop hate what you don’t need, don’t have or can’t have.
Many Canikon shooters are quite fascinated with the RX1 and were surprised by what Sony were capable of delivering. It certainly captured more attention and praise than the A99. The only commenters who don’t seem to like it are other Sony users.
You have to give it to Sony, they made a camera that made a massive splash. Whether it comes from people that hate it or love it, the camera still makes everyone give a bit of their time to write something about it.
Great job, no?
Steve Huff has posted ridiculously nonsense posts stopping people from responding to them is hardly the way forward. That is how you end up with notoriously venomous forums dominated by fanboys who act like thugs to anyone who disagrees with their agenda a classic example is the Olympus DSLR forum which prior to nearly dying and new moderation was a cesspit
I’m not here to judge Steve’s work or anybody’s work: it’s still possible to comment there if you want, just sign in and do it; what he did was right (in my poor own opinion) since there were people going there just to insult others or the work of others.
What pisses me off the most is the lack of respect for others work, for people in general and the high degree of “shallowness” of many in various blogs and forums.
Then, I agree with everybody saying that a forum must have a free access for comments, but at the same time it must be free of dumb asses who main job is writing bulls**t based on lack of facts or pure hate for a brand of the other.
Maybe in a perfect world!
Have a good day everybody!
Imagine the sharpness image RX1r.
I like the external evf instead of built in because I like how the external can flip up 90 degrees. What I don’t like is how it can fit in the leather case with it on.
I wish it came with a 50mm instead of a zoom or 35mm.

The image quality of the D800 is slightly better in every area and notably better in resolution regarding AF it is a country mile better.Even by fanboy standards your posts are beyond nonsense.Sounds like maybe you spent too much of your budget on the Sony and feel obliged to delude yourself that it is the best thing ever oh well
