Pros: sensor, photographic quality, lens, materials, tilting display (in part), AF speed, pop-up viewfinder, compactness, connections.
Cons: Battery life, lack of touch-screen, lack of flash, handle (for those with big hands), price.
Opinion: The Sony RX1R II is undoubtedly a machine of an undisputed quality. A little gem. The quality of the sensor is frightening! I had a A7R II and already knew the goodness and dynamics of this amazing sensor. Also the F2 lens, very bright, is apt, stupendous, sharp at the right point, with a nice macro function and a fuzzy creamy, of an incredible beauty to be a 35mm. As focal length there are those who prefer the 28mm, I prefer the 35mm and I find myself more than good. The slight distortion is easily correctable via software (just a click and everything is sorted at the right point). The quality of the materials is excellent. It is immediately noticeable to the touch. It could not be otherwise for a machine of this value. A real gem is the excellent pop-up viewfinder. Sony managed to make it stand, despite the small size of the machine. That way, unfortunately, the little pop-up flash disappeared. Frankly, between the two options I definitely prefer the viewfinder. I had the first version of the RX1 and I had purchased, apart from, the viewfinder to be inserted on the Flash shoe, but it was a bit ' too cumbersome and the car lost the compactness and the convenience of putting it in the pocket of a vest (for example). High definition display, clear, well-readable, pity that it is not entirely overhead (eg, as a Canon 6d Mark II), but it is a typical feature of Sony, which has accustomed us to display that only move down and to the other. The touch-screen is missing, very convenient for the street. With such a high price Sony could have plugged it. The AF speed is amazing, it's as good as the A7R II I've had. Fast, it hooks the subject very well, it is a face and very reliable eye tracking function. Finally, because with the first version and with the next R was not really the best. Now, finally, you have an ideal AF for many jobs. It is not as fast as that of the A7 III that I have, but the latter is a newer model and has a really excellent system of MAF, similar to that of the A9. Amazing! The handle of the small RX1R II is not exactly the maximum and is likely to slip easily from the hands, just because the machine is very small, but those who choose this little monster does it especially to match compactness and high photographic quality and is Conscious from the outset that the dimensions of the machine body are very contained. To those who have big hands I recommend an additional grip, able to make the grip much more enjoyable. The battery life remains limited, like all mirrorless a few years ago. Tiny Battery. Working on it, I have 5 spare and I have no problems. Being small, they load fast. Given the size of the machine, I do not think that Sony for later models can insert larger batteries (such as the A9, A7R III, A7 III), maybe it will and find a way to position the battery in a slightly larger grip. Wonder! The price I think is very high, even if the machine is worth so much, for the characteristics and for the almost uniqueness (see Leica, for example) of its kind. A compact with an amazing full-frame sensor and a Zeiss bright lens that's great. Machine with a crazy technology, Wi-Fi and NFC connections, etc. We know they are things that big brands make us pay, and not a little! |
