It isn't any surprise to see that the 42-Mpix sensor in the Sony Cyber-shot RX1R II is related to the unit in the Sony A7R II; however, the performance improvements over the earlier models are significant and help regenerate some the interest lost to the...

Abstract: One thing all of the cameras in this category have in common, aside from having a fixed prime lens, is that they offer either a 28mm or 35mm equivalent focal length (save for the Sigma Quattro dp2 and dp3), making all excellent choices for shooting street...

Abstract: It was only 45 days ago when Sony held their last press event in Portland, Oregon to announce the release of the Sony a7r II and to give us the opportunity to shoot with it. We subsequently published a review of the Sony a7r II and how Sony listened to it...

Fixed, single focal length lens; Poor battery life; No built-in flash; No touchscreen LCD; Slow buffer clearing; No 4K video; Expensive,
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 viewfinde...
While it's hard to fault the imaging performance of the RX1R II, almost $5,500 is a lot to pay for a compact camera with a fixed focal length lens, regardless of its sensor size and resolution. And, frankly, how many photographers actually NEED 42-megapix...

Image quality is exceptional. The camera feels like a solid, indestructible chunk of metal.
The price! The popup EVF on the left of the camera body is awkward, and the memory card slot is in the battery chamber
Somewhere there must be a photographer – perhaps a professional or a street photographer with Cartier Bresson ambitions – who needs this camera. By comparison the Sony a7R II mirrorless camera (body only) costs $1...
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...
