For the first time the RX1 is (now was!) listed as in Stock at Amazon US (via third party reseller). There is only one in Stock and I guess the deal will last for a couple of minutes only 🙁 A couple of more cameras can be found on eBay (via Slidoo). But mostly overpriced.
Our Australian readers are also getting their RX1 cameras and they shared two impression reviews at Calebluke and Nexusers. Eleven user reviews can be read at Amazon US.
And if you need a battery be aware that you find some cheap third party alternative on [shoplink 15857 ebay]eBay[/shoplink] (let me know how they work!).
Click these links to check price and in Stock status: Amazon, Adorama, BHphoto, Wex UK ,Wex Germany, Sonystore DE–UK–FR–IT–ES–NL–SE–FI–CH and more links at Alphacameradeals. Save $170 by simply purchasing the $7 cheap chinese metal hood ([shoplink 15410 ebay]there is one here on eBay[/shoplink]) instead of the original expensive Sony hood.

THat’s a couple of times I’ve noticed people mentioning AF point selection on the RX1. I really want to see a video of somebody using flexible spot to choose the focus point. I want to know how fast the user interface is in practice on this camera.
Anybody seen anything like that?
I hope this helps, Joel.

I’m still waiting for the Dpreview review of the A99 and RX1. I don’t understand what takes them so long.
Thanks. That seems broadly similar to my NEX-6.
Thanks Caleb, that seems broadly similar to my NEX-6.
They like rating actual production models. ;0
In stock at wex uk!
I think i’ll hold off for a while to make sure there are no major bugs.
Who has the cash to buy the RX1?
I guess not in the USA anymore.
OH COME ON, give us that top-secret NEX rumour already! 😉
Wow. Amazon customer reviews include some by knobs who have not even held an RX1!
But thankfully the camera is now out there and will soon be in use in sufficient numbers to generate a mountain of feedback from real owners.
And we wont have to put up with all the banal moaning about:
It’s too dear / It’s not ICL / It’s got no EVF / ad nauseum.
It’s too expensive, you can’t change lenses & it HAS no viewfinder…
Of course you feel extremely nauseous.
Not me punk. I would probably feel sick if I could not get one but I am due for a major upgrade IQ wise and the RX1 will suit me fine. Already got the go ahead from the family purser so RX1, here I come. PMSL
