Smallest full-frame camera on the market, by a wide margin, Fantastic image quality, Excellent, fast f/2 prime lens, Images are sharp corner to corner, even wide open, f/2 with full-frame sensor gives incredibly shallow depth of field, 9-bladed diaphra...
Fixed, single focal length lens, Slight tendency to underexpose, Produces unattractive bokeh when the subject is close to the lens, Focus can be slow under dim lighting, Subtle magenta/cyan tint across frame when shading compensation enabled in both JP...
Does it say anything revealing about a camera's printed image quality that when we printed an 8 x 10 at ISO 6,400, looked at it with amazement, and naturally assumed we must have somehow made a mistake and were in reality looking at ISO 400 instead? That...
The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 is a compact camera like no other, delivering full-frame 35mm image quality paired with a fantastic lens in a compact and highly customisable body. No camera is perfect - the auto-focusing is a little sluggish, the cost of the...
Abstract: Sony RX1 review-in-progress The Sony Cyber-shot RX1 is the world's first compact camera with a fixed lens and full-frame sensor. Announced in September 2012, it brings the low light, high dynamic range and shallow depth of field benefits of a full-fra...

It's hard to compare the Sony RX1 to other cameras because it really is unique. As such, it carries a hefty price tag. For significantly less money, you could opt for the Sony Alpha NEX-7 ($1,198, street, body only) paired with the new E-mount 35mm f/1.8 ...
Abstract: In our new Sony RX1 review video, Amy Davies of our testing team asks whether Sony has changed the landscape of the ultra-premium compact camera market.With its 35mm full frame sensor and fixed-length 35mm f/2.0 Carl Zeiss T* coated lens, the Sony RX1 has...
Abstract: The Sony RX1 is a $2,800 fixed-lens point-and-shoot. Sony priced it at $2,800 because it's the only point-and-shoot with a 24 x 36mm sensor ( or "Full-Frame" size). Its lens does not zoom, the camera has no image stabilizatio...
Abstract: Forum Login Introduction The Sony Cybershot RX1 meets the definition of the word unique. It is a 24 Megapixel full-frame camera that comfortably fits in a coat pocket and which features an integrated 35mm f/2 silent leaf shutter Carl Zeiss lens. It ...
AF can hunt and misfocus, some lens distortion, battery life, aliasing effects (jaggies) with strongly defined details, ease with which exposure compensation dial may be turned accidentally
The RX1 is, for many reasons, a remarkable camera, and one which has been very difficult to score on account of it not having any obvious immediate rivals. While it's certainly true that it's expensive, it'd be difficult to find a full-frame DSLR and ...
Abstract: While “hands-on” might be a bit of a stretch for this article, I wanted to pass along my thoughts from actually putting my hands on the Sony RX1 at PhotoPlus 2012 today – even though the camera didn’t have a battery in it because Sony didn’t want to sh...
Excellent image quality in both JPEG and Raw, Full frame in a compact, well-built body, Dedicated aperture and exposure compensation controls, Exceptional build-quality - solid feeling without being too heavy, Superb high ISO output in both JPEG and Raw images, Essentially silent operation, Wide dynamic range Raw files, Pleasing metering and white balance results, Good level of customization to
Autofocus speed not quick enough for fast-moving subjects, Autofocus struggles in low light, Significant vignetting, with any correction baked into Raw files, Multiple button presses required to move AF point, No built-in viewfinder (and accessory options rather expensive), No focus guides for video shooters, Disappointing video quality even when in focus, Focus peaking in un-magnified live vie
We said the RX1 was a brave step for Sony - a truly top-end product from a brand still establishing its photographic reputation at that level. And it's a gamble that pays-off to a great degree. The RX1 is much more than a brand-enhancing flagship that...
