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.

The editors didn't like
The autofocus is surprisingly slow
Although accurate enough. Auto white balance is easily fooled. And the lens
Sony's attempt at a fixed-lens, compact-style camera in the RX1 is an excellent one. It's well on the way to being one of the best cameras we've tested in terms of image quality, and has a control scheme that's easy to understand and use manually. While t...
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 is the smallest full-frame camera you can get, and while it pumps out gorgeous images, its price is likely to induce sticker shock....
Okay, it probably wasn't anything quite so fantastic, but we have to admit that we didn't see the RX1 coming. While Sony was justly praised for putting a large 1-inch sensor in the Cyber-shot RX100 last year, the RX1 takes this concept to an entirely new ...
Taking price out of the equation, one cannot fail to be impressed with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1. Fitting a full-frame sensor in such a small camera is an achievement, but making it easy to handle and giving it such a high-quality finish is even more of...
Excellent image quality, superb build, manual lens rings feel super-smooth in use, "macro" lens position, f/2.0 aperture produces sublime bokeh, great LCD screen with white dot layer, loads of customisation options, in-camera correction and picture effect
Some chromatic aberrations in images, small degree of barrel noise, autofocus isn't the fastest out there, limited battery life, no lock/light for exposure compensation dial, no built-in ND filter, unavoidable expense, no viewfinder included (expensive to
Yes it's a lot of money, but the RX1 does feel like a special camera. The pairing of an excellent full-frame sensor with a superb and sharp f/2.0 lens makes for top-notch image quality, only really let down by some chromatic aberrations in images. Ther...
Small and beautifully made, Fullframe flexibility in a small package, Roughly half the price of a Leica M9
Still too big for all but the deepest of pockets, £2,800 is hardly cheap for a compact!
The Sony Cyber-shot RX1 is undoubtedly an exciting – if not particularly cheap – addition to the Sony range that will take the company into the same ultra-premium compact camera territory that Leica has made its own over the years. Without being able to ...
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...
Brilliant 24-megapixel sensor, Control scheme is simple, versatile, Amazingly small size
High price tag, Imperfect autofocus, Expensive accessories
Sony's attempt at a fixed-lens, compact-style camera in the RX1 is an excellent one. It's well on the way to being one of the best cameras we've tested in terms of image quality, and has a control scheme that's easy to understand and use manually. While t...
Full frame in small package; good corner and edge sharpness
Expensive and heavy for a compact camera
The RX1 magic lies in the fact that it is small, solid, and hassle free. Also, the image quality is superb, and the build of the lens is solid; the aperture, focus and the image quality is all Zeiss....
