Our quick take

Sony Cyber-shot RX1 - 4.0 / 5

Design

Performance

Image Quality

To recap

Yes it’s a lot of money, but the RX1 does feel like a special camera. The pairing of an excellent full-frame sensor with a superb and sharp f/2.0 lens makes for top-notch image quality, only really let down by some chromatic aberrations in images. There are a couple of other glitches in the shape of autofocus speed and battery life length, but even so there’s still that certain something about the RX1. Overall we think there’ll be a lot of people who will fall in love with this camera, in spite of its minor shortcomings. We certainly did, even at this price.
