The lens is as sharp as we would expect from an optic bearing the Zeiss branding. High ISO performance is excellent and image quality is very good indeed.

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...

The Sony RX1R flies very close to being our perfect camera, but the occasionally slow autofocus keeps it from being a camera you can rely on 100 per cent. It is small enough to be taken anywhere, able to take incredible photos and easy to use.Sadly the hi...
Abstract: It's too expensive, but the RX1 looks super-cool, packs a punch considering its small size and contains everything you need to produce great images. The fixed lens dazzles with its versatile range of control options though watch out for costly accessories...
