Correct. Sony bought Minolta and hasn't looked back since then.

Quick investigation and it's available in Europe but not in the United States.

It became available for pre-order today. Looks like the camera sensor is slightly smaller and they dropped Leica. But the 12T Pro hits 200MP. GULP!

That would be a deal killer for me.

This is disappointing to change the formulas and reward Instagram sized photos. I know GCam gets a lot of praise but isn't it just baking in some extra sharpening that can be done in post ...

Maybe import only for a little while longer? https://www.androidheadlines.com/2022/08/xiaomi-12s-ultra-may-launch-globally-after-all.html

They aren't that close. Sensor area size is about 68.x mm2 versus 116,16 mm2.

I didn't mean to get caught up in semantics of 1". I could rephrase my original question and ask when the incorrectly CLAIMED 1" sensors in smartphones are coming to the USA like the Xiaomi?

Any idea when the USA will have phones using the whole 1" sensor?

As someone who shot the RX1 for a while, and typically will shoot a single lens for months on end, I don't mind having 1 great lens on a camera. I don't need the wide angle or the zoom . . . just...

Great! In 3 years, I will buy even more terrific hardware. ;-)

I wonder if that added dynamic range is what some people are seeing as noise in the daylight photos? We can't get that extra dynamic range without a cost.

I'll likely get the A7CII as long as size isn't increased at all.

I really wanted an updated RX1 camera, but that's extremely doubtful. So, I think I'll upgrade from my A7RII once an A7C II emerges. But it's nice to know the original can be well liked.

It was released more than 2 years ago. If supply is low, that could mean the update is imminent. But it could also be the global supply issues. Hmmm.
