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!
The Sony RX1R camera is one of my all-time favorites, with excellent image quality, outstanding dynamic range, a superbly integrated Zeiss 2.0 prime lens that has beautiful rendition and microcontrast. The only downsides to the camera are 1) slow AF, esp. in lower light conditions, 2) poor battery life, and 3) the need for an external (hot shoe) EVF which will set you back another $400 or so.
This was my Christmas gift to myself. A very good camera. I would have purchased the newer model if it had a small fill flash. I am liking the detail from a full frame camera.
I have a M1 and have taken several thousand pictures in a variety of modes. It does everything I ask it to do with outstanding image quality (except when I set it wrong). Biggest problem is keeping track of lens cover. Love in-camera HDR for inside buildings (e.g. church windows and interior shots). I use two custom buttons heavily.
I have the rx1 for about 3 wks and love it. I also own the rx100, 5100,6000 which are all excellent for there individual purposes. This is my venture into full frame that wont hreak my back (17oz). It will be my carry around for street photos.
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.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Very pleased with this camera.
I do wish Sony would issue a new firmware to address the slow auto focus issue.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great camera. Needs firmware update.

This camera produces amazing photos that equal and at times surpass those produced by monster sized DSLR's. Professional capability in a near pocket-sized body. Discreet and understated, it's great for street photography as well as for landscapes.
It does however need a firmware update. Video should offer XAVC-S 50mbps codec like its little brother, the amazing SONY DSC RX10, and you should be able to use focus peaking in normal framing and while capturing video.
Focus in general could be improved via firmware. Otherwise, a fantastic camera.
