So, what is your take on this one..

Interesting format Tim, but the handling may not be that great. And the price? Well, if it would replace all my other equipment...but it won't!
I think we can get slightly too hung up with 'quality' in our amateur world...though if I suddenly became flithy rich... :p :lol: :oops:

I see it more as a scape camera, landscape, cityscape, seascape. Perhaps sitting on a tripod waiting for the light to be right.
But you are right, the IQ is all some chase.

Presumably this camera is a lot bigger than the rx100. Around the size of a Leica x1?

A bit of a wallet slimmer this one. :eek:

Yes this would be my understanding on size. It interests me, the idea and format of a HQ lens attached to a small body but not at this price.
 
I'm missing something. Maybe I'm just having an old age moment....
In my simple mind, the advantage to a full frame camera is in the ability to use lenses at their proper focal length.
So my 35 Cron stays a 35 Cron. I don't get this camera being full frame and having a fixed lens.

Let me try to get this straight....$3000.00. If Ricoh produces the Full Frame M mount and it sells for around $1000.00...what would I do....hmmmmm?
 
It seems to have a back-illuminated sensor or where else does the blue light in the lens come from :lol: :lol: :lol:
My interest in this camera depends a lot on the size of the body. Given the stunning compactness of an RX 100 I would not be surprised if Sony managed to beat leica in the "smallest full frame camera" category. Of course the lack of an inbuild evf is a bummer, let's hope it was sacrificed for the compact size.
As far as I know tomorrow is official Sony announcement day, so in a few hours we may know it this thing is for real and what it's all about. A great week for us gearheads ...

Best regards,
Wolfgang

the price is someone's guess from what I can see. I don't think it will be anywhere near that.
 
It's real! And the price is real, too ... Pricing of the additional ovf is certainly on the steep side even for an original Zeiss finder. I'm not a big fan of add-on evfs / ovfs, so I don't really know what I shall make out of this. An attractive camera for sure and I'm convinced it will deliver great image quality within a broad IsO range. But somehow it doesn't ring the "must have" bell for me, at least not yet. Let's see if holding it in the hands at Photokina will change that.

It's pretty much the size of a Ricoh GXR with 35mm equivalent M-lens, which is impressive for a full frame camera. So, basically one could ask: would you pay $2.000 for a 35mm full frame lensor for the GXR. Admittedly I like the configurability of the RX-100 user interface and the RX-1 seems to share this flexibility.

Nice, but... I think that we have already recently gone down this path...but in Fuji and APS-C version...X100 followed shortly by X Pro-1 :roll: .
