Product Reviews

As a previous RX1R ii user I was itching to buy this camera and I’m so glad I wasn’t put off by some of the negative reviews. I also own an A7CR, which some recommend buying over this. That to me is crazy as I bought this because it offers similar quality in a significantly smaller and lighter package. What I was particularly pleased to discover is that it is compatible with Sony’s superb wireless commander so I can use off camera flash. Lens is gorgeous, autofocus pretty swift, and build quality pretty decent. For me it’s a daily carry and street photography camera.

The RX1RMK3 is a small, fast, fully featured every day full frame carry anywhere or EDC camera. The Zeiss 35mm F2 is crisp, renders images that defy the typical clinical digital look and feel of equivalent lenses. This is not a camera you can try in the store or at a friend's house you need to take it out and shoot with it to experience how capable it is in most urban settings. Would I shoot fast moving sports with it? Likely not, but in its intended space it is unbeatable. Battery life is excellent and a significant improvement over my RX1RMK2 BX1 batteries. I much prefer the built-in EVF as opposed to the previous pop-up version. The shooting experience with this camera makes you want to take it out and use it. The 61MP sensor is a known quality and is the same one used in a number of bigger full frame cameras and it is well respected and capable. The newer Sony menu interface is totally configurable to the user preferences. The ability to set-up user colour profiles (LUTS) as well as the built-in profiles makes this camera very adaptable to any situation. I don't recommend it as a video camera but it does shoot XAVC S 4K 8 bit 4:2:2.

Perfect compact camera! Incredibly small extremely powerful the zeiss it’s plenty of character, the images looks like were taken through the cleanest mirror the digital edge it’s not here, love it
