Our great and nice friends from CameraStoreTV just sent us the link to their latest review about the Sony RX1. Even if you may be at work now try to find 10 minutes to watch this 😉
Sony RX1 price check: [shopcountry 15824].

He keeps saying it has image stabilization.
It does not. Not in still images modes anyway.
Yes, I was wondering about that too and had to check the specs. I don’t know why he says it does have it, maybe the specs are wrong???
He’s in the business of selling cameras. It’s extremely rare he does anything but talk up cameras. Also, I don’t think he takes that much time to get the details down. So in this case, I suspect he saw the steady shot mode and just assumed it applied to all cases rather than just video.
In other words, I assume it was just an honest error.
Nice review! And much better result than D600 + 35 Zeiss, I am impressed! So all the price-whiners lost their last point, too…

Next time can you not be only in socks on video. it’s absolutely not normal.
would you wear shoes on your sofa? I personally trust people in socks more than people in shiny clean leather shoes… 😉
by sofa I mean couch! (german word)
It’s sofa here too 🙂
Heh, in some parts of the world it’s considered slightly funky to stomp around indoors with your outdoor shoes. Why would you want to vacuum and wet-clean the floors every night? Why don’t you want to have a few carpets? Oh, I see you stepped in dog-poo, that’s nice. Hey honey, take off your shoes before you get into bed? “-What?? Take off my shoes INDOORS?? You’re not my wife!”
And Chris: Last I heard not even the Nex 6 had very fast AF indoors.
I think the review is apt. It certainly makes a perfect cat cam.
He is using a pre-production version. The autofocus on current production models is functionally silent.
not true… I own a retail bought RX1 it is loud and annoying.
I heard about the sub-par AF speed elsewhere too. I don’t know why Sony didn’t use NEX’s AF module with this camera.
You think AF is a module? How fast the AF is has a lot to do with the lens. There is a lot of glass in that lens, and some of it has to be made to move to focus the image. Moving up to FF while sticking with CDAF has to cost somewhere.
Having the extra option of usb charging is great. After using a Nex6, I kind of appreciate the build in USB charging function.
I had incident where I forgot to bring the supplied wall-usb charging adapter with me, and my camera went flat. It was the built in usb charging function that saved the day. (I charge it on my notebook using my mobile phone cable).
And for those who will still prefer the traditional way of charging or perhaps to charge a 2nd battery at the same time, one could simply purchase a extra external battery charger (which does not cost much on ebay).
The AF is one of the biggest problems I have with the RX1… It really is terrible.
The cat is standing on front paws in the video you take at 3:50-4:10 but the cat is resting down in the photos shown. What’s up with that ?
WHO CARES? With your eye for such detail you should be a hawk looking for worms to eat, not looking for useless deatil no one cares about.
If you take a look at the his youtube channel, you will see that he modified his caption to state that the camera stills does not have the image stabilization function.
that cat has got blue paws????!!! (09:23)
WTF?
