I just put my RX1 up for sale yesterday and wanted to say thanks for a lot of fun and guidance. I recently got an X100S again (to go with the RX1) and now, have found that though the IQ of the X100S most definitely isn't up to that standard, it's not a good enough reason to keep the RX1...

SOLD! Buy & Sell Listing - Want to SellSelling</br> FS: Sony DSC-RX1 with EVF </br>Prices</br> 2200.00 </br>Location</br> USA </br>Ships to</br> USA </br>Description</br> Selling my two month old RX1 in excellent condition with EVF. Decided to try an X-Pro1 to go with my X100S...

Together these two cover what shooting I like to do. I taped notebook paper to the wall and desk. I set up the RX1 and took that shot with the X00S and then did the opposite for the X100S' shot. Then brought them into Photoshop and merged them. I think that the Fuji's image quality held...

As you may know, I have an RX1 and I like taking images of my food when I eat or go out to eat. I know that in certain situations the X100S isn't a stellar performer, so I decided to take it out for lunch today at my favorite Mexican Restaurant and give it a real world test. Well, I'm happy to...

I bought a B+W 49mm XS-Pro Clear UV Haze with Multi-Resistant Nano Coating (010M) filter to protect my lens, I decided to forego the lens cap and just use a clear filter and hood ala David Hobby. So...since I've never been a "protective filter" on the lens sort of a guy and that I'm a pixel...

As I look through lots of street images I realized that many many of them are shot "from the hip" with that particular vantage point...generally "looking up". I realized that people do this so others won't realize that they are taking images of them. I'd like to ask; what is your preference to...

Well..I was messing around with face-detection and focus tracking and I must say, that focus tracking is impressive. I tried to fool it and move around and be a bit "haphazard" and it nailed focus every time...and faster than a "focus recompose" approach too. I think I'm going to try and...

I accidentally stumbled on something what works great when using the EVF; keeping both eyes open, not using an eye cup, and not pressing eye close to the EVF. It results in much less "tunnel vision" feeling and it's amazingly effective...the EVF stays clear and you can see what's going on...

I've been giving this a lot of thought lately and have come to a decision. I've been trying to find ways to make the RX1 into a street shooter since I've owned it...but it's just not happening. I LOVE the camera, I LIKE the EVF a lot (and for that matter I really liked the Voigtlander OVF...

I must admit, I'm not up on all of the in's and out's of the compact cameras let alone the Fuji line itself so I need some help. I have been hankering for an X100S and waiting for them to be available, and eventually for a price dip if possible. But while I was waiting I became aware of the...

I padded up my Fotodiox grip with two layers of craft foam held on, and together with foam tape. Covered in Gaffers tape. It looks a bit rough but it works great.

I recently had a sort of mini discussion with Ray here on the RX1 part of the forum. He mentioned that sharpness or super accurate focus wasn't the be-all-end-all of photography. I guess I heard what he said but I didn't really HEAR it at the time. Well...fast forward a week: I had posted...

I'm new to mirrorless cameras. i've owned an X100S and now the RX1 and since I've spent virtually all my time in the DSLR world, I never gave the humble viewfinder a thought. I recently realized (in just looking at all of the mirrorless cameras available) that having a built-in view finder is...

I found this webinar to be very informative; the presenter is very clear in his explainations and has some very good tips to share. A few times I even went...bingo! It's called "How to talk to strangers" and it does cover that aspect but it's much more comprehensive... How to Talk to...

I've been loving my RX1...the image quality and low light capability is nothing short of astounding...with that said, I've always lusted after a Leica...that's just the way it is. Well..I've recently been getting serious about that goal, the financial timeline etc. To that end I've been...

I love my RX1, don't get me wrong. I really like the EVF too, but a hybrid would be so amazing, I might make this my last camera I ever own (not really but you know what I mean) Here is an example of the X100S hybrid OVF. It's a clear OVF overlaid with framelines and an AF box that changes...

I decided (based on a few threads on the internet) to get the Voigtlander 28mm Brightline OVF for my street photography. I'm by no means a "street photographer" but I'm learning. I bought the 28mm OVF because of a thread here on the RX1 forum recommended it, but I can always return it for the...

It's nice going light after lugging 40 lbs of DSLR and half a dozen L lenses in the past. This is my current set up. On camera: FotoDiox Handgrip, FotoDiox square lens hood, FotoDiox shutter button, EVF secured with velcro, black gaffers tape holding rubber eye piece from getting flipped off...

Not having the bells and whistles of a huge DSLR and 20 different lenses is making me a better photographer I think. This morning, instead of thinking about what lens to use and what to bolt on to my behemoth of a DSLR, I just thought about light. My step son was getting ready for work and...

So my quest has been to figure out a way to use the onboard flash to trigger slaves to get good indirect lighting while not showing any "on board" flash at all. I found two ways, and they are equally effective. 1.) I make this little doohicky; a piece of plastic with aluminum tape on the...

Ok....I just got off of the phone with Sony tech support. I bought an HVL F43AM flash because it said that it was wireless compatible with the RX1. Well...long story short the WAY it's compatible is that it will trigger OTHER ADDITIONAL Sony compatible as long as it's connected to the hot...

Darn! I was here in my office and was getting my RX1 out of my bag and the office maint guy was behind me, I turned around and he hit my elbow and caused me to drop the camera (luckily carpeted) and it must have hit on the EVF because it popped off the eye cup and partially broke off the rear...

I'm a bit frustrated. My other camera had a setting "allow pictures without storage card?" which I had unchecked. That way I couldn't take a picture without the card being inserted in the camera. Well...I can't find anything like that on the RX1, and I've taken shots several times when...

I have a friend who poo-pooed the idea of getting a compact camera with a 35mm fixed lens. He laughed in my face. He said "what are you going to do with a point and shoot? What will you take pictures of?? He laughed me off...sneered at the thought of not having a huge DSLR and a 20 lb 70-200...

I've been messing with flash and trying to figure out how to get flashes to trigger when nothing plugs into the proprietary hot shoe of this thing. Well..I found out that if you dial back the exposure compensation to -3 stops (all the way down) it will still trigger a slave flash but be all...

This seems to work pretty well. I took two strips of industrial sticky-back velcro that I got from Walmart, put them together with the sticky side, and then trimmed them to about .2" (just shy of about 1/4") They cover the EVF and the shoe. I put the fuzzy side in towards the camera and...

I'm sorry but I have to get this out. I held this shot up to my bathroom mirror. Jpg, no noise reduction, no sharpening, virtually no color or contrast corrections...one handed with 1/80 ss, wide open at f/2. Just stunning. This makes mincemeat out of my 5D mark III....I can see why...

I don't know who here who've had this experience. You shoot images with a camera that takes pretty good images but they lack "oomph" because of low quality, so you slather some Lightroom preset all over them to disguise the fact that they aren't tack sharp where they should be or that they just...

The fact that this is shot wide open and it's still this clean just makes it all worth while. No...it's not the most artsy shot in the world, but I was at work showing the camera off and he asked about it. I didn't have to go through the sharpening hurdles that I normally go through for a lot...

Well..I decided that this is a camera that I'd like to keep. I got a grip for it (because it's smallish feeling to me) and I got a HVL-43AM flash for it so I could bounce and trigger other flashes when necessary. It will (it seems) control the Sony HVL-43AM wirelessly also....so that's a...

I know that there must be a way but for the life of me, I can't figure it out. Is there anyone using non-sony flashes in the hot shoe of the RX1 using some sort of "hot shoe adapter" that translates the RX1 contacts into a universal "any flash will do" set of contacts? There are multiple...

I just got my RX1 yesterday and barely got to play with it. I was very disappointed in the flash, no swivel option. For me, that's an important thing, having the option to get the flash to shoot up or to the side. Not to mention that you are locked in to using a VERY expensive Sony flash if...

Ok...just got it, charged the battery for over an hour...might have put it in the charger wrong. :( I charged the battery and even after an hour and a half....I had about 1/3 battery. I put the battery label up but I think that might have been wrong. There is a triangle on the charger on one...

I have an EVF coming with my RX1 today but I'm curious; how do the other viewfinders work? Do they project any information? Do you just get crop lines? How do you figure out what you are focusing on if you can't see the focus box? I'm just curious.

I have quite a bit of "strobist" gear...i.e. umbrellas, softboxes, flashes, triggers....etc. Having sold my DSLR, I still would like to be able to bounce flash or use umbrellas for the occasional off camera flash. Has anyone here been doing that? Does the existing RX1 flash swivel any...

I was reading about focus tracking. The way I understand it...you can focus on (for example) someone's eye, and then hit the center button (mode dial?) and then it will track that spot when you recompose or the subject moves. Do i understand it and does it work well or is it a gimmick that...

With my RX1 coming I was thinking, what settings make the most sense for you? I know from reading that the functions that can be set/assigned are very flexible so there is a lot of latitude but some make more sense than others. So far I've deduced that for me, flexible spot focus is my...

Whoa what a ride. First off; I have to confess...I'm a pixel peeper with a raging 100% magnification addiction. I cannot STAND a soft image when it wasn't intended....I HATE that "blotchy" look when you zoom in and know that the pixels are bunched up like raisins in a box. I LOVE detail so...

I was trying for slightly gritty with lots of detail...

Still getting used to it and liking it. Didn't have the guts to bring the speedlight so did as well as I could with side light from the window.

I'm a DSLR refugee and I've owned a lot of really nice lenses...really nice. I new that the X100S' lens was sharp but I was pleasantly surprised to see these results.

I got the cheap LLC lens hood, and the B&W clear protective filter for my new X100S. I took a few shots but it seemed that the filter imparted a lot of ghosting and just degraded the image quality too much. Does anyone have experience with a good glass filter that they KNOW won't do any...

While I wait for mine to be delivered....I was reading a review about the X100S and they mentioned that the highest ISO's are only available in Jpg mode. That made me wonder why... Bummer.
