I fully agree with the review since I got the same camera from the day of it's launch.. And I agree, so far I'll refrain from buying A7/A7R camera, at least for now.
Can anyone help - I want to buy an RX1 but am worried that I am a little late to the show, if I drop £1000+ on one how long might it be until a newer model comes out? Is there anything on the horizon worth waiting for?
i like your strap so much... mind telling us which brand and where did you get it.. just bought a RX1r.... ;) so looking forward to shoot with it everyday.. :)
I don't know why anyone would buy this camera over the A7or A7R. A fixed prime lens with no viewfinder and no handgrip. You can have an A7 with Zeiss 55mm f/1.8 for the same money, plus have the option to add lenses and use adaptor for other brands.
The only advantage I see is the compact size. I am not judging anything , just giving my viewpoint. If I was judging the camera I would have said this camera sucks. I didn't realize I cannot give my opinion unless I own one.
I would, I had one, sold it, upgraded to the mark 2, regret it, own an A9 at present, but if I can get one back, I will buy it. This cam has an absolute unique look in the images which I can not better describe, the mark 2 in comparison, apart from a much better AF system : just not even near that, believe it or not
I own both rx1 and a7. The big difference is if you are a street photographer rx1 has no shutter sound, no one can tell it is a full frame pro cam its like a spy cam. A7 is great but very loud and there is no lens anywhere as small as the rx1 one. Closest lens is zeiss 35mm 2.8 but thats not f2 like rx1.
I just bought one today, at $700 I hope its a camera i still can enjoy for many years.
5 years later, i'm considering one. Any opinions?

If you don't know the answer to your question then you probably shouldn't have asked. Don't judge if you don't own one.

what 35 would you put on the a7? real world prices for the rx1 is now about 1800

Way to expensive. Crappy autofocus, I would not change it for my Sigma DP2 Merrill (
