Simply sublime image quality, Genuinely useful upgrades over the original RX1, Outstanding build quality
Seriously expensive, Battery life could be better, Autofocus feels slow against cheaper competition
Did the RX1 really need more resolution? Maybe not, but we're not going to sniff at any camera that's rocking a 42MP full-frame sensor, let alone one you can squeeze into a pocket. Just about. Sony's other tweaks are excellent, though. The pop-up viewfin...

Huge scale images, that Carl Zeiss lens is great and produces superb bokeh at f/2.0, great aperture and focus controls, built-in electronic viewfinder that is retractable if you want to hide it
Poor battery life, auto white balance sometimes off, not the fastest of autofocus, close-up focus limitations, high ISO limitations (uneven gradients beyond ISO 1600), some barrel distortion
At first glance the RX1R II might not seem that different to the original model. But there's plenty new here: the ingenious little pop-up electronic viewfinder, the new tilt-angle screen mechanism and, of course, that sensor with huge 42-megapixel r...
If I were in the market for a luxury compact, I would base my decision on what focal length better suits my photography. Sonys sensor technology is well and truly ahead of the game, and the 42.4-million-pixel sensor inside the RX1R II is at the forefront...
Amazing resolution, Small size, Retractable electronic viewfinder
Screen not touch sensitive, No optical image stabilisation, Poor battery life
The Sony RX1R II delivers superb image quality in a neat, compact body. The electronic viewfinder is great, though the processing speed and battery life are poor and there's no optical image stabilization...
Superb 42-megapixel full-frame photos, First-ever variable optical low-pass filter, Outstanding built-in viewfinder, Fast prime lens, Compact size
No built-in image stabilization, Lacks 4K video support, Expensive
The RX1R II is an amazing camera with its 42.4-megapixel full-frame sensor, variable OLPF, built-in EVF, compact size, and f/2.0 35mm prime lens. However, it’s still a $3,300 point-and-shoot, and as sophisticated as it is, it’s a lot of money (although much...
The Sony RX1R II is a camera easy to lust after. A full-frame sensor in an ultra-portable body? It's a photographic dream come true. However, more importantly it takes some of the clever tech from the RX100 series and the A7 series to make this a more...
With the large-sensor compact camera area of the market growing in value and the increasing competition in the market from rival manufacturers, it was only a matter of time before Sony revisited the RX1-series cameras to look at how it could improve upon...
