Wish Canon Had Done This
on November 12, 2012

I'm absolutely sure this is the flattest lens Zeiss could make to do justice to a camera of this magnitude. What you are looking at will not be significantly improved upon for years, if that has any value in your decision to spend such a huge chunk for such a tiny lump.
I can see this in a well-funded event photog's bag, to get close candids and cake shots, etc. while leaving the big rig on the tripod. But mostly I see it as a reporter's rig in places where SLRs are routinely confiscated. Now sure, the Mac Daddy lens on this thing might prompt El Presidente's bodyguards to take it anyway. But it stands a better chance of staying in a reporter's hand than a 7D with a battery grip and a white lens!
And by the way, just as capable of getting wonderful shots. I would use this camera for high school seniors' portraits, lightbox product photography, street shooting, outdoor panoramas...but not if I can't afford it, which I can't, even with the expected long service life.
It is a wonderful tool. Too expensive to be a toy.
What's great about it: Peerless. A class of one.
What's not so great: A price to match--and guarantee--it's exclusivity. Tiny niche market for this incredible machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

My Favorite Camera... best IQ, DR, and Color

This camera is legendary.... I am regularly astonished at how beautifully it renders images, especially in challenging lighting conditions. Yes, AF is a bit slow, but set the camera in DMF and you're good to go. Noise-free images, great rendition, superior color.... THE BEST!

Most interesting camera of the year
on September 12, 2012

This could be the most interesting camera of the year if not in the past few years.
I hope Sony will make a version with a 28/2 or 28/2.8 for street photography. 35/2 is great. But 28/2 might be more practical. With 24 MP there is room for cropping if you need a tighter shot but you can't expand 35 if you need a wider view.
What's great about it: Full frame in small package
What's not so great: flash-sync with leaf shutter only up to 1/200
I would recommend this to a friend!

Outstanding performance in every way. Great Features.
The battery charger cable does not work.
Also, I did not receive an English Manual. It was French ?

Game changer

Impressive full frame sensor point and shoot camera! This opens up a whole new market for point and shoot cameras.
Not knowing what costs are for this camera I only wish it was under 2K to make it more affordable for me.
I just bought the RX100 and t was okay with that price for a 1" sensor. I really like this camera for it's compact size and Zeiss zoom.
If and when you develop a full frame senor with interchangeable lenses camera like the RX1 style do develop many fine Zeiss lenses!

What's great about it: Full Frame Sensor. Zeiss lens, RAW files.
What's not so great: Price. Under 2K would sell more units.

So excited I got this camera!. I also own a Sony mirrorless full frame camera. I was thinking about get a zoom lens for that camera, but came across this and decided to spend a few hundred more and not have to worry about changing lenses quickly to get a close up. I've only played with it a few times, but I am so pleased with the images I've taken thus far.
