The Sony RX1r ii vs X100f - You get what you pay for
The Sony RX1r ii vs X100f - You get what you pay for
8
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.

Smallest digital FF I've ever held.
I made this review a little different and put the RX1r2 next to the Fuji X100f.
The point of that are two:
- To show that all cameras have their ups and downs.
Such a thing as a "better" camera doesn't exist. Its all just subjective feelings of the user.
- The Sony lacks some "modern" features but is still more than just an expensive toy.
Pros
- The Lens is great and renders nice images (Leica look)
- 46mp is pretty sweet when its time to crop
- High ISO is killer
- Its tiny. Smallest digital Full Frame I've ever had
- Tilts screen + EVF is my melody
- Video isn't too shabby with a mic input and steady shot (it could use a higher bitrate to match the video from the x100f)
Cons
- EVF needs popping (my nail often gets stuck in the switch.. weird)
- A bit unbalanced, not aweful
- Battery life suuuuucks
- The start up could be quicker
- MF is as it usually is on these cameras... please Ricoh, license snap to others..
Samples
EVF and/or tilt screen is great for shooting straight into the sun.
Tilt screen is of course also sweet for low angles.
The small size makes it always handy fro quick snaps.

The new Panasonic Leica 9mm F1.7 sure is tiny and cute, but is it a good choice for Micro Four Thirds users? Our team at DPReview TV has the answers.
It says Olympus on the front, but the OM System OM-1 is about the future, not the past. It may still produce 20MP files, but a quad-pixel AF Stacked CMOS sensor, 50 fps shooting with full AF and genuine, IP rated, weather sealing show OM Digital Solutions' ambition. See what we thought.
Is the GH6 the best hybrid camera there is? Jordan has been shooting DPReview TV with the Panasonic GH6 for months, so he has plenty of experience to back up his strong opinions.
DJI's Mini series has always been a great entry-level option for beginners, hobbyists, or those willing to sacrifice features for size. But with its newest model, the Mini 3 Pro, DJI promises to bring pro features to its most compact model. Does it succeed?
After waiting over a year, Chris and Jordan finally had a chance to test the new Canon RF 100mm F2.8 L IS Macro. Is this the macro lens to beat?
