Sony’s decision to develop the Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 ($2,799.99 direct) is a bold one. It’s a seriously expensive camera that appeals to well-heeled enthusiasts, but is likely to be a constant companion for those who embrace its design. The RX1 packs a 24-me...
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 is the smallest full-frame camera you can get, and while it pumps out gorgeous images, its price is likely to induce sticker shock...

The Sony Cyber-shot RX1 is a compact camera like no other. That may sound like the company's former brand slogan, as this camera - the world's first fixed-lens compact to feature a full-frame 35mm sensor - is no "make.believe". This is the real deal...
Excellent image quality, superb build, manual lens rings feel super-smooth in use, "macro" lens position, f/2.0 aperture produces sublime bokeh, great LCD screen with white dot layer, loads of customisation options, in-camera correction and picture effect...
Some chromatic aberrations in images, small degree of barrel noise, autofocus isn't the fastest out there, limited battery life, no lock/light for exposure compensation dial, no built-in ND filter, unavoidable expense, no viewfinder included (expensive to...
Yes it's a lot of money, but the RX1 does feel like a special camera. The pairing of an excellent full-frame sensor with a superb and sharp f/2.0 lens makes for top-notch image quality, only really let down by some chromatic aberrations in images. Ther...

The Sony RX100 , with its larger than average (one-inch) sensor for a compact camera, has made fantastic waves with critics and the public. Now on the Sony RX1, the manufacturer has stashed a 35mm format full-frame sensor inside a body that is roughly the...

When this camera was announced it caused a lot of excitement. It's the world's smallest digital full-frame camera, and so it raised a lot of eyebrows. Image quality is superb, but there are a fair few limitations that mean this camera could never be desc...

As a full-frame compact camera that's only slightly bigger than a regular compact, the all-new Sony RX1 looks set to take the Japanese electronics giant into new territory – the sort of territory that, until now, has been occupied by the £4.5k Leica M9 an...
Small and beautifully made, Fullframe flexibility in a small package, Roughly half the price of a Leica M9...
Still too big for all but the deepest of pockets, £2,800 is hardly cheap for a compact!...
The Sony Cyber-shot RX1 is undoubtedly an exciting – if not particularly cheap – addition to the Sony range that will take the company into the same ultra-premium compact camera territory that Leica has made its own over the years. Without being able to...

It's too expensive, but the RX1 looks super-cool, packs a punch considering its small size and contains everything you need to produce great images. The fixed lens dazzles with its versatile range of control options though watch out for costly accessories...

The Sony Cyber-shot RX1 (MSRP $2,799.99) is the first digital full-frame compact camera to hit the market. With a 35mm sensor and Sony's latest Bionz processor, both shared with its flagship A99 DSLR, the RX1's image quality is without peer in the point-a...
Okay, it probably wasn't anything quite so fantastic, but we have to admit that we didn't see the RX1 coming. While Sony was justly praised for putting a large 1-inch sensor in the Cyber-shot RX100 last year, the RX1 takes this concept to an entirely new...

Stuff magazine Wed, Jan 9 2013, 1:06PM The Sony DSC-RX1 is a truly pioneering product: the world’s first point-and-shoot with a full-frame sensor. Despite its (relatively) dinky dimensions, the RX1 rocks the same glorious 24.3MP sensor as Sony’s f...

When Sony released its Cyber-shot DSC-RX100 in June 2012, it caused a stir in the compact camera market. Here was a truly compact camera with an impressive 20.2-million-pixel, 1in (13.2×8.8mm) CMOS imaging sensor. The RX100’s compact size, high resolution...
Taking price out of the equation, one cannot fail to be impressed with the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1. Fitting a full-frame sensor in such a small camera is an achievement, but making it easy to handle and giving it such a high-quality finish is even more of...

Sony, not being one of the heritage photography brands, tends to do things a little differently, just because it can. And the new Sony RX1-R is indeed different.Last year the company introduced the Sony RX1, which is the world's smallest 35mm format digit...

Forget the three grand price tag for a moment and just think about how appealing is the idea of a digital compact camera with a 35mm-sized sensor. Suddenly, the ‘sticker shock' isn't quite so severe. Report by Paul Burrows. If evidence was actually nee...

Not so good for: - Shooting sports and action. - Close-up shooting.When Sony unveiled its DSC-RX1 Cyber-shot camera at Photokina 2012 last September it created a frisson of excitement. Here at last was a compact camera with a 24-megapixel 'full-frame' se...
If you want a high-resolution full-frame camera that can fit into a coat pocket, the Sony RX1 fills the bill. Its control layout makes it pleasing to use and its performance is generally excellent (particularly at high sensitivity settings)As a compact, f...

This is a very expensive camera. For this sort of money, you can buy a full-frame DSLR body, such as the Sony alpha99. Also, strong competition for this camera comes from Sony's own NEX-7, a mirrorless-system camera for less than half the price. It isn't...

There's a bit of a gap between a smartphone camera and digital camera. While most of us dream of a highly portable camera with incredible image quality, the technology is a little way off and so we are forced to compromise in some way. Manufacturers are a...
The Sony RX1R flies very close to being our perfect camera, but the occasionally slow autofocus keeps it from being a camera you can rely on 100 per cent. It is small enough to be taken anywhere, able to take incredible photos and easy to use.Sadly the hi...

The lens is as sharp as we would expect from an optic bearing the Zeiss branding. High ISO performance is excellent and image quality is very good indeed.
The autofocus is surprisingly slow, although accurate enough. Auto white balance is easily fooled. And the lens, generally good, shows marked barrel distortion...
