Insane. I wanted this camera when the Mark 1 came out and they upped the ante (better sensor, EVF built in) in Mark 2. Being able to obtain a "reasonably lightly used" version of this at a $1000 discount is fantastic. Just get one. It's a perfect compliment to your zoom-lens camera - more pixels than the beloved Fuji X100V - tack sharp images - great on-lens and on-body controls.

Kudos to B&H for putting together a kit that compliments exactly what you need to start out shooting with the RX1R II. I had the original RX1R but was frustrated by the limited number of focus points and the lack of phase detection auto-focus. I had to check every shot for accuracy. Not so with the RX1R II. Even tho I have the A7R IV with the 35mm 2.8, there is something magical about the fixed combination of this lens and camera body. Granted, the tech is 5 years old but somehow it holds up and the images are just stunning. Keep it at 1/100th of a second and let Sony do the ISO calculations and you're golden. Everything is crisp, clear, and the pops. Perfect size for street photography or a night out when you don't want to take something heavy or need ... MoreKudos to B&H for putting together a kit that compliments exactly what you need to start out shooting with the RX1R II.

Yes, battery life is dumb but these batteries are cheap and small. Get a dual charger and take an extra in your pocket and done.

Sony had fixed the most glaring issues plaguing the first RX1R--terrible AF performance and no built-in EVF--and done so in a meaningful way. AF is now quite useful and fast in most situations and the EVF is designed to pop-up in a significantly more robust fashion than in the RX100IV, although the design of the removable round rubber eye-cover is an option to be forgotten by most users as it is a challenge to mount and you can't close the EVF without removing it..and probably losing it quite easily in the process. The fixed Zeiss 35/2 is a carryover and there is nothing wrong with it as optically it pairs well with the new 42mp BSI sensor including the macro mode, however, some kind of visual reminder within the EVF or Live View screen would be welcome to indicate ... MoreSony had fixed the most glaring issues plaguing the first RX1R--terrible AF performance and no built-in EVF--and done so in a meaningful way.

The Leica Q manages the switching electronically so I did not experience these Duh moments no doubt attributable to user error after all. The new highly advertised adjustable LP filter will most likely proven to be a solution looking for a problem as Sony did not bother to include this feature in the A7RII equipped with the identical sensor and it's not like the camera is short on features as it is. Much smaller footprint than the Q, although as before the 35mm Zeiss protruding far enough--even without IBIS--to prevent labeling it as truly pocketable unless you have a really big one. External dimensions largely mirror the first version, although not completely. The tripod socket on the baseplate is just off-axis by 1mm for whatever reason to make 3rd-party accessories such as the excellent Gariz half-cases NOT to fit this camera. The biggest drawback in this quest of Sony's engineers to shoehorn all this remarkable technology into this compact form factor lies in the fact that battery life is downright abysmal. The BX-1 battery is unfortunately completely inadequate to support anything but the most casual use of this camera, especially when using the Live View rear screen as opposed to the EVF. Using Single AF modes in still picture Aperture Priority mode drains a fully charged battery in less than 20 minutes of largely continuous use. The camera has no built-in GPS and I had reset virtually all settings to default including switching the Live View display back to Standard resolution but battery life can still be measured in minutes instead of hours. In comparison both the A7 Mark 2 and especially the Leica Q fare much better even by the already downward adjusted mirrorless camera standards vs. DSLR battery life. Yes, you can and must buy extra batteries--I have 4 of them--but the included miniature USB chargers take 2-3 hours to charge a depleted BX-1 battery so I would recommend buying additional chargers as well so charging can be done in parallel fashion. In summary I love this camera and the photos it can take. It's an amazing achievement from Sony even at its decidedly premium price point. For casual shooting, travel photography and other less than intensive shooting sessions I would recommend it to anyone who can afford it. Full frame performance in a compact form factor is just incredible and Sony deserves credit to be able to realize it to this extent even with compromises such as no IBIS or 4K video support. However, the quest for retaining the overall form factor while increasing performance may have gone farther than it should have perhaps at the expense of usability. Unless the company can somehow improve battery life by firmware optimizations in a meaningful way--not impossible but not very likely either--this handicap may prevent a lot of users to thoroughly enjoy and appreciate this little gem of a camera to the extent it deserves. I for one will not be able to do so without constantly reaching for and swapping my battery and risk missing that decisive moment in the process. I would have gladly traded in a few extra grams of weight and a bit of additional heft for an hour or two additional battery life...but that's just me.

Every here and then the autofocus stops working and seems blocked. Internet search states that many other users have exactly the same problem. Sony obviously doesn't take the complaints serious.The firmware is still at Version 1.0. There would be at least some features to be renewed. For example the poor functions for changing the storage names of picture files.etc. Maybe the developers are proud to never have changed the firmware. My, my.
First I'd like to say what a revolutionary camera this truly is. The RX1RII not only builds upon the mark I, it solidifies itself as a real contender with the likes of Leica rangefinders. Having a fixed 35mm F2 lens might deter some people, since the lens is not interchangeable, but 35mm is a wonderful focal length to work within. I find myself consistently pleased with the results in various situations. This little camera packs astounding 42MP resolution uncompressed RAW capability, a pop-up viewfinder for bright sunny days, a tilting rear monitor for taking pictures at more artistic angles, and quite a bit more. I love all these features, but mostly I love the ability to program some of the custom buttons and the fn menu to the features I use most.

I love all these features, but mostly I love the ability to program some of the custom buttons and the fn menu to the features I use most. One of the features that makes it great is also one that makes it a tad difficult to use: its size and shape. Because there's no proper grip, it's tougher to hold one-handed. I've found the add-on of a thumb grip works wonders. It simply slides into the hot-shoe and locks into place, and even has a hot-shoe built into it so that it can still be used for a flash or other device. I also put a lens hood and UV filter on it for protection, since the fixed lens would be very, very expensive to repair if you were to get a scratch on the glass. The other thing that Sony fell short on is the battery life. These little batteries seem to deplete rather quickly, compared to what I was used to in my Nikon dSLR setup. I recommend buying an extra battery or two so you ensure having plenty of battery life throughout your photoshoot. Overall though, it has found its way into my hands on random walks through the city or a grab-n-go camera for events I expect could be worth having a camera (such as great for street photography). I tend to use my A7RII for more dedicated showstoppers like destinations while on international travel. Not that this little camera wouldn't be up for the task! It's impressed me in picture quality, silent leaf shutter action, quick maneuvering around the customized buttons, and general ease of use.
When my wife and I decided to join another couple for a walking tour of northern Sicily this fall I was faced with a dilemma. I have a Nikon D810 with lots of glass. Excellent camera, but it is big and heavy. This trip is not a tour to engage my compulsion for taking photographs of every bird, person, flower, insect and building. Instead it is a time to enjoy the company of friends, enjoy the landscape and the food and take some photos. I also did not relish the idea of carrying my big DSLR and all that glass in a backpack up and down the hills; plus my wife told me point blank that she was not going to volunteer to carry any of my kit. Smart woman. So I decided to leave the DSLR at home and get a small camera that still had excellent image quality.

Smart woman. So I decided to leave the DSLR at home and get a small camera that still had excellent image quality. After several weeks of research and agonizing over the price I decided to get the Sony RX1R II: it was small and light, it had a 42 MP, full frame sensor, it had a fixed, prime 35 mm lens and all of the reviews said the image quality was very high. No fiddling with lots of kit. Perfect for travel, landscapes and street photography. I have had the camera for 2 weeks now and I am very pleased with the purchase. The lens is perfectly matched with the sensor, which results in breathtakingly sharp images that can be cropped down to more than 100% to reveal fine detail in the image that was not apparent when the image was taken.This makes the perceived limitation of a fixed, 35 mm lens much less significant in practice. I disagree with many of the quibbles that some reviewers have had with the camera. The menus are easy to navigate once you read the manual and play with the settings. The programmable function button makes it easy to use the settings I use on a regular basis without fiddling. The macro ring on the lens is easy to use. Yes, the battery life is poor, but just get spares. They are cheap, and much lighter than carrying around a heavy DLSR and a lens or two.
I had an RX100 camera first and moving on to this RX1R II was really easy, all the controls and menus are in logical places. Don't listen to the reviews that say it is complicated, it isn't. It took a while to remember that the focus mode is now a switch, not a menu, but that was all the learning required of me.Image quality is incredibly good, even with the lens wide open. Single click lens correction is available in photoshop too which means vignetting is gone in seconds.Focussing is quite fast, nothing like as quick as the RX100, but as it's accurate you get a good hit rate.An often stated negative is battery life, but if you're spending this much on a camera just buy two more batteries.

All the controls feel solid and positive. Weather sealing would have been nice.The only negative is lack of 4k video recording, as this is often the only camera I carry and occasionally it's nice to grab a decent video of a scene. That said, I bought it for stills and it is incredibly good at taking those.
The RX1RII is great if you shoot exclusively at 35mm.Pros:+Literally pocketable (full frame in your pocket!)+42 megapixels (you can print around 24x36 prints)+Sonnar lens (sharp and crisp photos)+WiFi (remote shooting)+Discrete viewfinder+Smooth aperture ringCons:-No in-body stabilization (it has electronic stabilization, but not the 5-axis IBIS like other Sony and Olympus cameras)-Autofocus is average (coming from an Olympus E-M5, this was disappointing, but not a deal breaker)-Battery life is poor (I have 6 batteries total)-The lens distortion is so bad, it makes the Earth look round (lol; this is correctable in Lightroom, but you lose quality by correcting it. The distortion isn’t as noticeable as Voigtlander M lenses, though.)-Has UHS-1 ... MoreThe RX1RII is great if you shoot exclusively at 35mm.Pros:+Literally pocketable (full frame in your pocket!)+42 megapixels (you can print around 24x36 prints)+Sonnar lens (sharp and crisp photos)+WiFi (remote shooting)+Discrete viewfinder+Smooth aperture ringCons:-No in-body stabilization (it has electronic stabilization, but not the 5-axis IBIS like other Sony and Olympus cameras)-Autofocus is average (coming from an Olympus E-M5, this was disappointing, but not a deal breaker)-Battery life is poor (I have 6 batteries total)-The lens distortion is so bad, it makes the Earth look round (lol; this is correctable in Lightroom, but you lose quality by correcting it.

After all, this is a $3,000+ professional camera, right?)-Reviewing zoomed-in photos is slow (I don’t chimp or pixel peep, but on occasions, I’ve wanted to show friends photos I’ve taken of them, and it takes about 2 seconds to be able to zoom in. If you don’t zoom in, the photos load normally, though)Please remember, first and foremost, this is a CYBERSHOT camera. It’s a glorified point and shoot. It has the same sensor as the Sony A7RII with a fixed Carl Zeiss lens, which doesn’t deserve the Zeiss name because of the lens distortion.Overall, as someone who plans to travel for the next few years, this camera is perfect. 35mm is my favorite focal length. Zoom with your feet. However, this camera would be PERFECT if they added 5-axis sensor stabilization and improved the lens distortion. Third time’s the charm?
I am at an age when carrying around 2 + kilos of cameras, lenses and associated equipment has become a real problem for me.I have been using Canon DSLR bodies and "L" lenses for quite a few years and have always been very impressed with the quality of image etc.Making up my mind to cut way down on equipment has been a very trying time, however, I was fortunate enough to be in a position to test a few quality CSC's and Compacts, some were interesting and others very poor.The camera that kept jumping out at me was the Sony RXIR II, I was intrigued by some of the comments I read and heard and finally decided to take the plunge and buy one.I relunctantly part exchanged the majority of my equipment and ordered the Sony, a difficult day I can tell you, turns out ... MoreI am at an age when carrying around 2 + kilos of cameras, lenses and associated equipment has become a real problem for me.I have been using Canon DSLR bodies and "L" lenses for quite a few years and have always been very impressed with the quality of image etc.Making up my mind to cut way down on equipment has been a very trying time, however, I was fortunate enough to be in a position to test a few quality CSC's and Compacts, some were interesting and others very poor.The camera that kept jumping out at me was the Sony RXIR II, I was intrigued by some of the comments I read and heard and finally decided to take the plunge and buy one.I relunctantly part exchanged the majority of my equipment and ordered the Sony, a difficult day I can tell you, turns out to be the best move I could have made, I am, quite honestly, besotted with this little gem.The quality of image in whatever mode I decide to use can be outstanding, even the odd macro picture proves to be quite a revelation at times.I will no doubt miss some of my Canon gear, I don't, however, miss lugging around all the weight though!A perfect Camera to ease me through my old age and be still able to take a quality picture.
I've had 3 Fuji x100. The RX1R M2 detail puts them to shame. Ups: Autofus good, ISO performance excellent to 6400, size great, quality and detail amazing at 42.4mp, cheap compared to Leica, good electronic viewfinder. Downs: battery life poor, speed needs to be higher than expected due to resolution, expensive compared to Fuji x100, not an optical viewfinder. Overall, if you can afford it, like using a fixed lens, then get it and you won't be disappointed.
