No touchscreen, Terrible battery life, Very high price
When this camera was announced it caused a lot of excitement. It's the world's smallest digital full-frame camera, and so it raised a lot of eyebrows. Image quality is superb, but there are a fair few limitations that mean this camera could never be desc...

Expensive, expensive and even more expensive with optional accessories like an electronic viewfinder, good but not exceptional video quality
The target market for this camera is not clear-cut. So far, I've only met one person who actually owns the RX1 and, after a brief chat, it's clear that he's not a professional photographer. On the other hand, the RX1's image quality exceeds that of other ...
Battery life somewhat limited; Sony should supply an in-wall charger, LCD should tilt and be touch-capable, Poor placement of red-dot movie button
The more we mull it over, “suiting your vision” is an apt description for the RX1. This Cyber-shot is a wonderful photography tool and if you can imagine the shot, the camera will deliver it – within reason, of course. At this price, the RX1 is clearly ...
excellent image quality and lens sharpness, solid feature set, manual aperture ring
LCD difficult to use in bright light, movie record button awkwardly placed, autofocus somewhat sluggish in low light, relatively short battery life, expensive, fussy manual focus
All technical and pricing issues aside, one of the things I love about the RX1 is that, in this digital world, it brings me back to thinking before I shoot, much like the Leica M9 does. Sure, there are faster and more clever digital cameras than the RX1 ...
Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article, cameras, expensive, Sony
Slowish focus performance, especially in low light. Detachable electronic viewfinder is mostly unnecessary. Disappointing video performance. A fixed lens is “a fixed” lens and offers few options. Average output from popup flash

Great photo and good video quality in a camera with a nicely functional and fluid shooting design are the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1's highlights
It lacks a viewfinder, autofocus is sluggish, and there's no focus peaking in video mode
With a terrific lens and a great full-frame sensor, the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 delivers the best photos we've seen from a fixed-lens camera. But that doesn't come cheap.

Full-frame image sensor. Extremely sharp lens. Excellent high ISO performance. Fast burst shooting. Short shutter lag. Fast f/2 aperture. 1080p60 video capture. Top-notch control layout.
Expensive, and accessories are very pricey. No zoom capability. Slow to start and shoot. Lens shows some barrel distortion. No built-in viewfinder. External battery charger not included
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 is the smallest full-frame camera you can find right now, and while it pumps out gorgeous images, its price is likely to induce sticker shock....
Quality: excellent, sharp, accurate colour capture.Why you'd buy the RX1: full list of features; nice lens; easy to use.Why you wouldn't: heavy price; could be confusing for the novice; with such a high-specced camera I did feel the LCD screen was far too...
