I recently had
the chance to use my friends
Sony
RX1. I have posted many reviews about this camera on different forums. If I
could give this camera more stars than Amazon’s 5 star rating, I definitely
would.
This little titan of a camera has
superb quality for under $5,000. The frame sensor is amazing. I own a Leica M9 for
over $6000 and wish I waited till used my friends Sony RX1. Even using the f/2
and jPEG mode, the picture quality is near superb.
I realize that many will purposely hate this
camera without even trying it, because the cost is a fraction of what they
probably paid for theirs with similar specs.
It’s not as small as a cell phone, but fits comfortably
in my jackets, as it is not bulky at all.
The only downsides I noticed while handling this camera were
the LCD was challenging to use in bright areas. The autofocus could be a little
faster. And like all electronic devices , the battery life of the Sony RX 1
could be longer. I always carry extra rechargeable batteries with me.
But if you want a camera that has amazing image quality with
the sharpest photos, the
Sony
RX1 should be on your list as it is a complete camera that’s a fraction of
the cost of the competition.
