Sony RX1R II - the BEST Compact Camera EVER Made?

This or the Fujifilm X100V?

The fact that second hand ones are still selling for £2000 shows the demand

My RX1R ll is, of all my cameras, the one I carry the most. Even with its known issues such as battery life, not weather sealed, and no firmware updates, the image quality and overall "shoot-ability" make it my favorite. It is in my hand more than my Leica, my Nikon, and my M4/3 cameras and certainly my film cameras. If I lost it or it became totally inoperative I would buy another over the Leica or Fuji compact ultras.

Clicked coz of the red thing

Does this camera have an option to turn on and off based on the pop up EV being deployed/stowed?

The RX100 does this and I love the feature.

Those out of focus backgrounds are so gorgeous.

Taylor! You’re always hilarious! Thank you for making this video!

Why is such a machine better than a camera of a flagship phone?

What is that Red thing on the Camera ?

The fact that Sony is sleeping on this and not bringing out a new version with faster internals is ridiculous. This would be a Leica Q killer.

Hey can you please tell me where I can buy this thumb grip. can't find the right one anywhere. Thank you

What brand is your jacket? I want one.

Why is Sony not coming out with the mark iii after the high demand of x100v. This would sell like hot cakes

Hi, where did you get that orange hot shoe thumb grip? Looks really good on that camera

Guy got Shia LaBeouf on as his guest

The price is a bit tough to swallow. Its more expensive (both at RRP and currently on the secondary market) than my main FF camera, the A7R IV.

Oooouuuuuu... Red 😮

Nice till i saw the price😢

wish to have carl zeiss 35 f2 with sony e mount! great combo with 55mm with 49mm filter lens

Trying to find a decent long hot shoe thumb grip (like the red one) and the one Pierre used on the RX1Rii in his video - I have a shirt one but my thumb doesn’t rest in the right place. Any idea what make yours is?

The RX1 has been my most used camera for 10 years. I’m intrigued with the Leica Q series, but they are considerably larger than the RX1. Too large in my opinion - I’d rather just carry my Leica SL2-S if I’m going to carry something bigger than my RX 1.

RX1riii is out ! with a bigger battery & 61mp . These are too big. I have ricoh griiix and it does the job very well and slips in my pocket😉

This or the RX100 Mark 7? 🤔

I absolutely love the RX1s! I’ve owned and used both the RX1 and the RX1RII. To me the RX1RII is a much more usable camera, but somehow the original RX1 design feels just a bit more refined. Kind of like how the Q3 added a lot of useful features, but in turn sort of made the design less refined than the seemingly perfect Q2 body. Also I feel like the RX1RII images look crisp but seem to lack a bit of the beautiful mellow feel of the images from the original RX1. All the RX1s are amazing though, and I’d really love to see a mark 3 with slightly bigger batteries and weather sealing ☺️

Sony needs to revive this camera line. We need an RX1R III that includes weather sealing and Sony’s latest technology. If they do release a RX1R III, I will preorder it in a heartbeat.

I don't understand why these compact full frame cameras are like 3k or more. Yet i can get a full frame interchangeable for like 800 bucks...

I want a full frame point and shoot SO BADLY but I'd never consider one for under 1500 bucks.

Wow! No strep just hand held, u r not afraid of dropping it on concrete?

I acc did click because of the red thing hahaha

Have you been in Ueno in Japan?

I'm looking for apsc or full frame gripless sony, not that zv-1 crap, but probably more like A7C with no grip

YES

The original rx1 was the best. The photos had the airy soft but sharp look.

I'm convinced. Now I have to have one!

For me, the only drawback to the camera is it's small capacity batteries, and the speed with which they need to be recharged.

100% yes I clicked because of the red thing 😂

They wont make a. new version until they work out how it wont cannibalize their current product lines and Sony is too division political as a company.

Ok, I’m just gonna come out and ask the question that everyone is too scared to ask: WHERE did you buy that red thing?!

It's not a sleeper camera, it's way too pricey.

link for the red grip please i bought one for the a7s and it doesnt fit on this camera :/

I feel like 30mm or wider at f2 and you shooting anything that’s further than 20 metres away a phone picture is just as good, close up portraits though it’s really good

3.5k brand new....ouchy

Taylov, may i ask - what is your jacket?

I’m ready to pay as much as Leica Q 3, when a Sony RX1R Mark 3 or whatever they’ll call a pocket monster comes!

sony could capitalize on the fuji shortage by updating this cam 😬

Max shutter speed wide open is 1/2000 btw. You have to stop down to hit 1/4000.

Yes

Now try to get your hands on a Zeiss ZX1, a beautiful camera nobody bought so might be the rarest compact camera,

It's like Leica made by sony
