It lacks a viewfinder
Autofocus is sluggish
And there's no focus peaking in video mode
And accessories are very pricey. No zoom capability. Slow to start and shoot. Lens shows some barrel distortion. No built-in viewfinder. External battery charger not included
LCD difficult to use in bright light
Movie record button awkwardly placed
Autofocus somewhat sluggish in low light
Relatively short battery life
Fussy manual focus
Slowish focus performance
Especially in low light. Detachable electronic viewfinder is mostly unnecessary. Disappointing video performance. A fixed lens is “a fixed” lens and offers few options. Average output from popup flash
Expensive with expensive accessories
Poor battery life
Inconsistent
Slow autofocus
No ability to zoom or change lenses
Battery life somewhat limited
Sony should supply an in-wall charger
LCD should tilt and be touch-capable
Poor placement of red-dot movie button
Autofocus speed not quick enough for fast-moving subjects
Autofocus struggles in low light
Significant vignetting
With any correction baked into Raw files
Multiple button presses required to move AF point
No built-in viewfinder (and accessory options rather expensive)
No focus guides for video shooters
Disappointing video quality even when in focus
Focus peaking in un-magnified live vie
AF can hunt and misfocus
Some lens distortion
Battery life
Aliasing effects (jaggies) with strongly defined details
Ease with which exposure compensation dial may be turned accidentally
Wellmade camera body, Smooth handling, Very high image quality, Fast f/2.0 lens, Silent shutter
Meagre battery life, No external battery charger included
This is the way we see the Sony Cyber-shot RX1: It's a niche, proof-of-concept camera that's pushing the limits of camera design, built for the photographer who appreciates a 35mm f/2 lens, and is a luxurious second (or twenty second) camera for the perso...

Combines jawdropping ability with handbagfriendly size
Lens is not swoppable
This will probably appeal to professional photographer looking for a second camera, and to sybarites with specific hobbies such as casual portrait-taking....

Tiene sensor CMOS tipo EXMOR Full Frame, es decir, con un tamaño igual al de una cámara clásica (de 35mm) o de cine. Esto permite hacer impresiones de mayor tamaño y tener mejor calidad de imagen. Dispara imágenes de 24.3 megapixeles
Su precio es sumamente elevado para ser una "compacta". Si eres un usuario principiante e incluso intermedio, tal vez te parezca demasiado ostentosa y avanzada. La duración de su batería. No es muy ergonómica. Es de óptica fija
La recomendamos a fotógrafos avanzados que busquen una cámara "de respaldo" o para salir a la calle sin algo muy llamativo y aparatoso. Por su potencia, calidad y desempeño, se convierte en un equipo de gama altísima; no para cualquier aficionado a la ...
Abstract: La más deseada ya ha pasado por las manos de Xataka Foto, que la prueban a fondo . Os hablo de la Sony RX1 , una agradable sorpresa en el mercado y que demuestra el nivel que los japoneses han alcanzado en esto de la fotografía en serio. La Sony RX1 no d...
Construction, Capteur Full Frame, Qualité d'image sur toute la plage de sensibilité, Optique d'excellente qualité, Large choix de personnalisation, Bague de diaphragme, Distance minimal de Mise au point

Abstract: Pour beaucoup de photographes, le Saint Graal est le format 24x36, mais dans un corps de compact. Certes, cela existe déjà chez Leica, mais le prix reste dissuasif pour bon nombre d'entre nous surtout en l'absence d'autofocus. Jusqu'à présent, aucun au...
Qualità delle immagini, Comandi manuali, Risoluzione display, Risoluzione sensore, ISO elevata, Supporto RAW, Filmati Full HD
Prezzo esagerato, No mirino, Obiettivo a lunghezza focale fissa, Accessori costosi, Stabilizzatore elettrico
La Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 è senz'altro un'ottima fotocamera compatta full frame, quasi unica nel suo genere, che offre un'ottica di eccellente qualità, che da sola dovrebbe bastare, secondo alcuni, a giustificarne il prezzo, ancora molto elevato a quasi ...
Ottica di qualità e luminosissima, sensore full frame, prestazioni da primato per una compatta, design elegante e vintage, pieno e intuitivo controllo delle opzioni di scatto
Prezzo da primato per una compatta, pulsante di scatto troppo sensibile, manca il mirino ottico (opzionale)
Il prezzo stimato cui sarà venduta la Sony CyberShot RX1 è senza dubbio molto alto per una fotocamera di qualsiasi natura, per non parlare di una compatta a ottica fissa.Detto questo, chi cerca qualcosa che non comprometta la qualità delle immagini, avend...
