Sony's latest fixed lens full-frame compact camera, the Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R II, was announced towards the end of 2015. It features a 42.4 million pixel sensor - the same as the one in the Sony A7R II compact system camera.

Sony likes to prove a point with its cameras; namely that Sony can do things that other manufacturers can't. Although this may not necessarily translate into extraordinary sales figures, it paints the picture that Sony is at the forefront of technological innovation.

This an excellent camera for THE premier 35mm focal length shooting experience. I'm a long time Leica M shooter and hate big cameras. The RX1R II is what I've been waiting for the past several years and is now my main digital body for color use, which accompanies my Leica M3 and two prime lenses for...

Fantastic camera. It's the "One you take to the desert island" one. It's a great street shooter camera as it is a family portrait camera. I am fortunate to own and enjoy this piece of equipment.

Good in Low Light; Great Resolution; Small / Compact

Short Battery Life

The camera I received in April 2016 has a serial numbers that was part of the recall announced by Sony in 2015. Kind of disappointing for a camera at this price.

It is a great camera; I'm ugrading from the RX1R which is very good

I didn't pay this kind of money for a camera that has a known defect and has to be reconditioned or replaced . Have not yet called Sony but will soon; I don't relish the hassle and wasted time

Simply amazing camera. I also have a Canon 5D, Nikon D810 and a Hasselblad 500CM. This camera is my favorite. Size, features and image quality is exceptional. I love it.

This camera was nice but imo not nice enough for the price at release. Nowadays its used price is within an enthusiast budget and that makes all the difference in the world. The review consists mainly of a YouTube video and includes about 50 sample shots. https://www.youtube.com/watch

Superb in every respect but battery life (stock up on X batteries, and get a 3rd party dual charger!). Image quality, dynamic range, high ISO performance, colours and bit depth absolutely flawless.

Beautiful Zeiss Lens; Durable; Dynamic Range; Eye Detect Af; Great Features; Great Picture Quality; High Iso Performance; Lightweight; Nfc And Wifi; Option To Install Apps; Sharp Even Wide Open; Simple Controls; Tilt Screen; Variable Low Pass Filter; Wonderful Evf

Battery Life Very Poor

After a5100 a6000 a7R then back to aps-c with the a6300 I finally land on the RX1R II. I decided my LBA condition was killing my bank account so to end it I got a 35/2 fixed lens 42mp full frame compact camera, and am I glad I did.

After a flurry of camera announcements from Sony towards the end of 2015 we were not expecting any big launches. However, as the year drew to a close Sony surprised us with the Cyber-shot DSC-RX1R II – a replacement for the RX1R.
