Extra images added to Sony Cyber-shot RX1R Samples Gallery

We've just added several more photographs to our gallery of real-world samples from the new Sony Cyber-shot RX1R. The RX1R shares the same feature set and sensor as its forebear the RX1, but its 24MP full-frame CMOS sensor lacks an AA filter for additional sharpness. We've been impressed by the RX1R's image quality as we work through our usual studio and real-world testing, and we've added more samples (both JPEG and converted Raw) to our previously-published gallery for you to take a look at.

I readily concede a real advantage comes when you need or want to post directly for work or pleasure. Yet, if you have five minutes in Lightroom the advantage becomes narrower.
Both the RX1 or RX1R are great cameras. I do hope the RX1R will not become the standard and we will have the option to buy the "inferior" sensor. I have been able to create images of stunning clarity with the RX1 and with a minimum of effort. I had the opportunity to try out the Nikon D800e compared to the D800 and found I had a hard time justifying the extra cash for the "better" sensor but that's Nikon.
Exciting times for digital photography and having so much clear detail from such large sensors is astounding regardless....

Sorry to disturb the consensus here but I am not at all impressed by the images in the Sample Gallery. The 2nd image in particular looks mediocre in my view. I have looked at the gallery on iPad and also on iMac 27 and I am still not impressed

I'm curious about a few things; if I look at the 6x7 grid of images above the 2nd image appears to be foliage; if I click on an image in the grid I go to a different page, and the 2nd image is a museum - so which image are you referring to? And the more relevant question is what do you mean by "mediocre" and "not impressed"? We usually talk in terms of sharpness, color balance, composition, etc - you know, photo-speak.

When I downloaded "original" size & look at
histogram, it is clipped at both ends...? Why?

They look good. I much preferred the more neutral sky colours of the ACR processed shots, with the exception of that last (blue hour) shot.

It is almost as good as Nokia Lumia 41MP, yes it is amazing, and the price is good compared to Leica, it is a dream pocket full frame camera, but my pocket is not deep enough, may be I get a $800 Sigma DP2Merrill instead, at low ISO and on tripod I can get as much as or more resolution out of it.
Are they going to release a changeable lens version someday?

It's on the way that interchangeable Lens FF NEX-9, maybe even this year if you believe the rumors.
Let's hope they release a few nice Zeiss prime lenses with it, not those Toit lenses...LOL
Even then it will be just as expensive or even more expensive as that RX1

The samples are great. Clearly this is a great FF pocket camera. And that is perhaps its greatest asset - good quality pocket camera. But the truth of the matter is if you don't have deep pockets and other more versatile equipment you will always be wishing that you did. For me as much as I like what I have seen about this camera I would choose something with more flexibility if I could only have one camera system.

It might matter if Sony could make money from electronics like the old days. Buy they can't and they don't (N.Y. Times):

Thanks for the link. It makes you wonder how long Sony will keep making electronics when the division loses 8.5 Billion per year.

Well, Pentax has made a habit of reusing parts (sensors, AF-modules,...) throughout their range lately.
If they finally release a FF-DSLR, they could do the same and make a FF Ricoh GR (sensor, CDAF, ... ?).
The RX1 could certainly use some competition to bring down prices...

Regardless what that article says, it is not with cameras or video cameras that Sony electronic division is hurting. They won't be leaving any time soon.

Exactly Sony is making profit in cameras so no reason for them to stop making them. They are heavily losing in the television arena as they still think they make the best TVs when Samsung and LG are equally as good or even better in some instances.
