I completely agree! That sensor was the pinnacle of Sony's achievements. I've had all the cameras which used it and they all have something really special about them.
Thanks for bringing some attention to the RX1RII. I'd love to buy into the model, but almost 9 years without any attention or investment is disappointing. The RX1RII could go head-to-head with the Leica Q3 if Sony actually tried.
Honestly, the RX1RII (even the RX1 and RX1R) are still hard to beat a decade after release. The sensors and lens are just soooo lovely. Even the AF on the RX1RII stands up well against Fujifilm's latest and greatest in 2024, including the X100VI, X-T5 and X-H2. The pics are so clean, with beautiful fall off. That 42MP sensor was Sony's best ever. Please, please, PLEEEEASE Sony, make an update that keeps the character of this camera but improves responsiveness, battery life and the feel of the controls. That's all. Keep the same sensor! Really.
Nice comparison! I do use x100v too and it’s a blast to use! I think image quality wise, the full frame sensor of this sony really shined compared to the aps-c. Are the photos from the x100v SOOC? Cheers!
always full frame. but fuji x100/xpro experience unmatched. matched only vs leica m camera, film rangefinder/manual film slr. i think just those 2 lineup will swoop 90% market share of photo artist/casual street shooter. i really love hybrid viewfinder and its many manual focus assist.
i sold my x100t for one of these earlier this year and i honestly dont want to use any of my other cameras. it has been my edc ever since. I just did a road trip off the coast of Nor Cal where i packed this and my a7IV but my rx1rii took like 80% of the photos on that trip. if they ever made a mk3 id love to see them slip in a built-in ND filter like the x100 series and of course improved battery life. would also be nice of sony to release a super tiny flash like the leica CF D flash or something similar!
Wish someone made one of these premium pocketables with a 50mm. I see why not - less universal focal length since it's too tight for everyday photography and also the longer the focal length the larger the lens tends to need to be - but I can still dream, right?
@@nicolask.3825 yeah you are right, but these EDC cameras are not very pocketable either. The idea is to use like a small bag to carry around. For that even the A6000 with a small len can cover very well.
I hesitate to buy the sony rx1r2 or the fuji xs10. I like the fuji feel on the pictures but the sony sensor seems to outperform. Has someone used both ?
The Q cameras are just so huge. And the OG Q was basically a gorgeous lens on a very average sensor. The RX1RII and even the original RX1(R) make nicer pics in most situations in my opinion. I've owned them all!
