This is more or less a follow-up on my 'seeking gear advice' question ... I just found out that I can get a brand new Sony RX1R II for 2600 euros ex VAT (tax is deductable). I admit that is really, really tempting although I will be giving up on DoF (I was focusing on a smaller sensor camera to increase DoF; a feature that is valuable when you have to quickly shoot watches at an event). But I was thinking that I could shoot from further away and crop. From photos I have seen, I love that Zeiss 35/2 lens!
There are a couple of things that makes me hesitate: the menu structure (which apparently is invented by gear nuts instead of photographers), the colours (comparable to Nikon?), how comfortable the camera is after holding it for some hours, how easy/difficult it is to trigger external flash via radio trigger.
What is your view/experience on this?
Are there any disadvantages of the camera that you have experienced (besides limited battery capacity)?
If anyone has Nikon Df or D750: how would you compare IQ of those cameras with the RX1R II (resolution excluded)? Assuming you're using a 35mm Zeiss/Nikon/Sigma lens?
Your thoughts are much appreciated!
