Each Sony RX1 review shows that this is a very unique camera that fits into a very niche market. It is a 24 megapixel full-frame mirrorless camera, and has a very sharp Carl Zeiss 35mm F2 autofocus lens. The RX1 does not have a viewfinder, although it has an LCD screen on the back. Both and optical and electronic EVF finder are available separately.
The RX1 has the same sensore as the Sony Alpha 99, but with a fixed lens. The uses for this camera are limited; it would not be suitable for sports or wildlife, or even for landscape work that may require telephoto or wider angle lenses. The camera is aimed at the fine art street and documentary photography market, in which it competes with the more expensive, but interchangeable lens Leica M9 and M.
The camera is simple to use, much like the classic rangefinder cameras, there aren't too many bells and whistles to get in the way. Also cameras like these feel more intuitive than there DLSR cousins, and it is possible to take photographs more candidly, which makes them perfect for street shooting. It also has excellent low light capabilities, as the lens is fast at F2 and excellent RAW output at high ISOs. It does not have image-stabilization like the A99, but it does not need it as this type of camera can be hand-held at lower shutter speeds than DSLRs with there larger lenses.
The lens on the RX! is nothing short of spectacular; it is sharp even at F2 and produces beautiful bokeh. The lens is capable of providing all 24 mega pixels of detail to the sensor with the correct photographic techniques. There is also the full frame advantage of having a shallower depth of field with a full frame sensor, so close up images and other creative ideas are easier to obtain.
Autofocus speed is snappy but nothing compared to a DSLR, although this kind of camera demands a more considered approach to image making and is not the best tool to use to capture fast moving subjects. The sensor produces nice Jpegs out of camera, with good color reproduction. Raw files have a good level of dynamic range.
The RX1 is an expensive camera too, its main competitors are the Fuji XE1 and X-Pro1; and the Leica M9 and M rangefinders. The Fuji's and Leicas have the advantage of interchangeable lenses; the RX1 and Leica's have the full frame advantage but the Leicas are considerably more expensive than the RX1. The RX1 is probably the best choice for photographers who only require the 35mm focal length.
Having a fixed focal length can also be liberating, as sometimes too much can get in the way of the creative process. It demands that the photograph think about other elements of picture making than the focal length of the lens. 35mm was the focal length of choice among the legendary street and documentary photographers, such as William Klein and Robert Frank.
Every Sony RX1 review demonstrates that this is a niche camera, but it a spectacular imaging device. It is small, easy for experienced photographers to use that is capable to producing beautiful photographs in the right hands.
