DSC-RX1RM2 Full Frame Premium Digital Still Camera

I purchased RX1, 4 years ago and was so satisfied that I decided to buy and gift this to my son in law on arrival of their new baby girl, This is am amazing compact light DRL camera one of its kind with simple shoot features as well as most advanced features, so easy to use. This new model is RX1 II , with a built in view finder.

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.
