    Sony RX2 Speculation and wish list

    Well it did surface in the form of the RX1r II

    Sony RX2 Speculation and wish list

    There was some comments flying about the webs that the curved sensor would mean a simpler lens design and that in turn should bring the cost down. Likely more a hope than fact. Tilt screen often a nice one.

    Sony RX2 Speculation and wish list

    As this forum is a little slow, I thought I'd ask what you would like to see in a RX2 and speculate on if ever there will be one and what it might include. For me I'd like to see the same level of optical clarity and character that the existing lens has but if there is a curved sensor, I hope...

    Sony Zeiss Loxia 35/2 Biogon T* lens for Sony E Mount

    Thank you Louis for your review. It was both entertaining and an opinion I value. I suppose if you look at retail prices the RX1 and an A7 or A7 II with a Loxia 35 is about the same cost or close to it. With the A7 Loxia combo you do get a EVF and a tilt-able screen over the RX1. That aside the...

    Sony Bokeh test A7r and Elmar 50, Summicron 50, CV 21/1.8, FE 55/1.8 and Sigma DP3M

    This post is heaps of fun. IMVHO, I like the FE55 best but I'd put the Elmar second with the DP3 third. I would put the 21mm second but I think you are comparing apples with raspberries, nonetheless the 21 is nice. The 35 I'd put last, its bokeh is distracting. An interesting question is would...

    Sony Your biggest gripe about the A7

    I just did not like the build quality of the A7. Coming from the EM-5 which was a precision instrument the A7 left me wondering. I am now likely moving to a XT-1. A big part of the reason is the Fuji lens system. For the me the A7 lenses are, too few, too expensive or too big. The Fuji...

    Sony Pondering A6000 (vs DP Merrill)

    My reason for wanting an A7 is I have some plans which involve 21mm and wider. I'll take the IQ hit. I'm sure it won't be all that bad. I can get to 21mm with my Ricoh GR but I am looking for an excuse to dabble with FF. Sometimes you just have to experience these things.

    Sony Pondering A6000 (vs DP Merrill)

    I'm interested in this idea as well, except I was thinking an A7 and using some of the APS lenses for crop mode but having the benefit of FF when the lens weight is less an issue. An A6000 or A7 with two lenses is likely close to the same size and weight as two Merrills.

    Sony Sony RX100 iii .. what are we doing wrong? Wal-Mart type Camera?

    Lucille, while I personally find the RX100 III images just ok .... and hey, I am one for pocket-ability, I just think your RX1 images prove how much the RX100 is lacking. To the original poster, its possible your sample is not a good one - lens alignment or other problem. See if you can swap it...

    Sony Sony A7 with Macro-Elmarit 60/2.8 vs Sigma DP3M

    I suppose this is the advantage of the A7, if one lens does not quite do the job try another. There could be an improvement on the Sony if you could get something without having the adapter.

    Sony Sony A7 with Macro-Elmarit 60/2.8 vs Sigma DP3M

    I am seeing more of a difference here rather that one being better. I guess the win with the Sigma is the price.

    Sony Another "A Year After..." type of post.

    In many ways we are similar users Ray. I have a DP2M and Ricoh GR as my primary cameras, similar focal lengths. I also have the EM-5 where you have the Fuji. My EM-5 is with two lenses only now, but again the EM-5 is not my primary camera. The EM-5 more a tool camera for jobs only it can do...

    Sony Another "A Year After..." type of post.

    The RX1 is my current "grail" camera. I could afford one but shouldn't. I could unload my EM5 and put that towards one but I have a DP2M as my "poor man's RX1" I will get one sometime. As you have said very eloquently its the resulting files and the lens that makes this camera about the best...

    Sony A few shots from Chicago

    Great to see your city, which must be commonplace to you but its quite exotic to me.

    Sony Sony Canada jumped the gun, they already have the RX100M3 on their website.

    Have I missed it, but are there any samples from the new MK III somewhere. Prefer independent reviewer samples if possible

    Sony RX100 Mark III Officially Announced

    Sony, thank you, I applaud this new little camera. The max aperture at the long end is the most welcome feature to me. For me personally, I would though be looking at if there are any good price drops on the M1 or M2 versions though.

    At the price of the M3 I am hoping the M2 will be available for some time as an alternative choice

    Sony Rx100m3

    A question will be if the IQ is two steps forward and one back. Often the original is the best. Samples will tell.

    Sony show us your RX1

    All these images are giving me GAS. The RX1 is a bit of a grail camera for me. Maybe when the RX2 is released the RX1 prices will shift down again?

    Sony RX1 images too 'sterile'???

    I love the Zuiko 45, I think not withstanding the longish minimum focus, it is one of the bargain lenses out there. Sharp, cheap, light, nice contrast, sharp. I've been struggling with the EM-5 though. The OS just does not gel with me. My GR or DP2M I can return to after a few weeks and I can...

    Sony RX1 images too 'sterile'???

    I was only dreaming the other day of adding a DP3 to my DP2M / Ricoh GR combo. I am seriously considering quitting my EM-5 with 45mm for the DP3. Now I wonder what a GR / RX1 / DP3 combo would be like? I guess someone must have done it

    Sony Trade my m4/3 stuff for an RX100 II?

    Then have you looked at the Ricoh GR or Nikon Coolpix A

    Sony RX1 Lens Distortion

    The idea for me was to use the filter as a kind of clear lens cap. Like a lens cap it would offer some dust protection but enable me to leave the camera without lens cap on, ready to be used. I could then quickly power up and shoot if I saw something. This is what the auto lens shade shutters...

    Sony RX1 Lens Distortion

    Well this has been a very enlightening thread and I've been following it the last few days. I'd like to thank moiler for having the courage to post the original question and then follow it to a conclusion. I have a similar if not identical filter on my DP2 Merrill also bought in a similar...
