Open Box: Used Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-RX1R II Full Frame Digital Camera undefined

Perfect photography is yours with this Sony Cyber-Shot full-frame digital camera. A large 42.4-megapixel full-frame sensor makes it easy to take detailed images with vivid color for professional results each time. It incorporates BIONZ X image processing so that each photo accurately reproduces the scene, andan ISO range of up to 102,200 lets you take blur-free images in low light. The sensor is back-illuminated and uses copper wiring for high-speed data readouts, producing impressively fast focusing and light responses.This full-framecamera also includes a high-performance Carl Zeiss lens that has an f/2 aperturefor wide-open shots when needed, and an advanced aspherical lens element helps ensure the overall weight is kept down. In addition, because the lens is fixed, it ensures absolute and precise detail each time to create consistently great images. When you're out in the field, this Sony Cyber-Shot full-frame digital camera gives you even more flexibility thanks to the tiltable LCD screen. It lets you get down low without having to position yourself at an awkward angle for impressive close-ups or viewpoints from a range of angles. It also has full HD movie rendering so that you can effortless record your special moments on this Sony Cyber-Shot full-frame digital camera. Sony Palm-Sized RX1R II Camera with 42.4 MP Full-Frame Image Sensor  Joining the original RX1 and RX1R cameras in the family of the world's smallest full-frame cameras, the RX1R II delivers the highest picture quality of any Sony compact camera ever made. This can largely be attributed to the new camera's high resolution 42.4 MP sensor paired with its large aperture, fixed focal length ZEISS Sonnar T* 35mm F2 lens, which have been fine-tuned to optimize performance together.  Additionally, the RX1R II features a 30% improvement in AF response speed compared to the original award-winning RX1 models and is equipped with the world's first optical variable low pass filter that can be set to "off", "standard" or "high" based on user preference, with low pass filter bracketing available. The camera also has a convenient retractable XGA OLED viewfinder for eye-level shooting, which has been implemented with minimal change in overall body size from its predecessors.   Ultimate Image Quality in the Palm of Your Hand  The RX1R II camera utilizes a back-illuminated 35mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor with approx. 42.4 effective megapixels paired with a powerful BIONZ X processing engine to achieve superior levels of image resolution and sensitivity (ISO 100-25600, expandable to 50 - 1024002) with wide dynamic range. The sensor's back-illuminated structure, with an expanded circuit scale and copper wiring design, enables faster transmission speed and outputs data approximately 3.5x faster than the original RX1R, ensuring high-speed performance.  Matched specifically for the image sensor, the large aperture 35mm F2 ZEISS Sonnar T* lens ensures that all images captured by the camera are impressively sharp from the center to the corners. The lens also has a unique Macro shift ring for focusing on subjects as close as 14cm in front of the lens and has nine aperture blades that produce smooth, even background defocus or 'bokeh' in the most commonly used aperture ranges.  Another unique benefit of the RX1R II Camera is its fixed lens design, which allows the positioning of its sensor and lens to be precisely adjusted to maximize all benefits of the sensor's extremely high resolution. The closer the two components are to one another, the wider the angle through which light can pass through the lens and directly reach the sensor, resulting in imagery that is rich in detail and resolution. Also, unlike the focal plane shutter common to interchangeable lens cameras, RX1R II utilizes an in-lens shutter, allowing 1/2000 sec flash synch speed and a significant reduction in overall body size  The RX1R II also offers uncompressed 14-bit RAW image capture to maximize the benefits of the image sensor's wide dynamic range, while also still supporting existing compressed format.    High Speed AF to Capture the Decisive Moment  The RX1R II model is the first in Sony's acclaimed RX line of compact cameras to feature Fast Hybrid AF capabilities. The camera's sensor features 399 focal-plane phase-detection AF points that cover about 45% of the image area - the world's widest AF coverage on a full-frame sensor1 - that work together with 25 contrast AF points to achieve focus response that is about 30% faster than the original model. Additionally, the camera has adapted an advanced motion-detection algorithm that offers superior tracking performance of moving subjects and allows for the addition of AF-C mode that accurately tracks a subject after focusing. It also can achieve up to 5fps continuous shooting with AF tracking.  Other focusing improvements on the new model include multiple AF area settings including Wide, Center and Flexible Spot and Expand Flexible Spot. The camera also has Eye AF and lock-on AF    World's First Optical Variable Low Pass Filter  In a first for digital cameras, the RX1R II features an optical variable low pass filter that allows shooters to manually adjust the balance of image resolution and presence of moire or color artifacts to match the subject.  The three settings for the low-pass filter include "off", which provides comparable effects to having no low-pass filter and is suitable when prioritizing resolution, "standard", which strikes a balance between resolution and removal of moire and color artifacts, and "high", which places more emphasis on reducing moire and artifacting. This unique feature allows photographers to achieve the desired image quality and resolution based on the presence of moire-inducing high spatial frequency objects in the scene, essentially combining two cameras - one with and without a low-pass filter - into one body. Low-pass filter bracketing is also available and can be used to compare the effects of different settings.   Retractable XGA OLED Viewfinder, Tiltable Screen, HD Video and more  New for the RX1 series, the RX1R II has a built-in retractable 2.4 million dot XGA OLED Tru-Finder that pops up and down with simple one-push operation. The viewfinder features ZEISS T* Coating and four glass elements including two aspherical lenses that work together to deliver a magnification of 0.74x4 and clear corner-to-corner visibility with minimal distortion. The new camera also has a 3.0 type WhiteMagic 1.2 million dot LCD display that can tilt upwards up to 109 degrees and downwards up to 41 degrees, allowing for a greater range of shooting angles and positions. On the video side, the camera's advanced sensor and processor deliver exceptionally detailed movies with low levels of noise. It is able to support full HD 1920x1080 video recording at frame rates of 60p, 30p or 24p through use of the versatile XAVC S movie recording format5.  The new RX1R II camera is also Wi-Fi and NFC compatible and fully functional with Sony's PlayMemories Mobile application available for Android and iOS platforms, as well as Sony's growing range of PlayMemories Camera Apps

Makes a great holiday camera, especially if you use the electronic zoom and also map the picture format to C1 for easy access. With all the additional megapixels available to you on this camera using the electronic zoom and picture formats doesn't totally degrade your images. I shoot SOOC for ease of use especially when on my travels.

Fantastic Little Camera

Absolutely gem of a camera even though it was released in the US in 2016. Camera is still so incredibly relevant and just a masterpiece much like Sony's Signature products.

Sony RX1R II

Since 2009, I've been using DSLR cameras; the last one I purchased was in 2014. Finally, the time has come to test mirrorless cameras. I chose a brand that offers very bright lenses for the 4/3 format. It turned out to be somewhat unfortunate due to unacceptable image sensor noise. A significant criterion was size; I aimed for a camera that looks like a toy. This year, I decided it was time to make a choice, and it became evident: the Sony RX1. Not only is it a camera that fits in your hands, but it also features a full-frame sensor and the absence of an optical low-pass filter (RX1), or the option to control the filter (RX1RMII).

If someone were to consider the limited shutter speed of 1/4000s a drawback, they can always use an ND filter to work within it. Personally (I don't view this as a drawback), I miss having an AF button under my thumb and the limitation of the shutter release button to just triggering the shutter. I haven't had the chance to test the intelligent AF in motion yet. I hope to find a solution to this issue somehow.

In conclusion, I HIGHLY recommend this camera. Despite the 8 years since the release of the second generation, there's nothing in this segment that the competition can offer. As for Sony, there might be a possibility of developing new firmware that could somewhat enhance the functionality of this excellent camera.

A very handy camera.

should have waited for new version

No training available to use the wonderful camera.

No training

I don?t use it for my professional work, but for casual shooting, this camera is the best today?s technology can provide. 
A perfect balance between image quality and size. I bought it mainly for the 200mm focal range, and let me tell you, the final images that come out it are almost comparable to some of the professional cameras out there!
Remember, it?s only 1-inch sensor! Yes, you have all those computational techs today, but optical performance is something of a luxury to pursue and for people who are serious about digital imaging.
I have used it along with my RX1RM2 for all my day-to-day shooting cravings in the past few months. I can get so much more from its RAW files than the ProRaw on my iPhone.
Overall, very satisfied with this camera!

Point n? Shoot at its best

I sold all my photo gear last year and I really miss not having a quality camera. In my
search RX1R ll caught my eye. Small, light with the bells and whistle's of larger
cameras. I'm still going through the testing faze, so far so good.

tiny tank

Every here and then the autofocus stops working and seems blocked. Internet search states that many other users have exactly the same problem. Sony obviously doesn't take the complaints serious.
The firmware is still at Version 1.0. There would be at least some features to be renewed. For example the poor functions for changing the storage names of picture files.etc. Maybe the developers are proud to never have changed the firmware. My, my.

Autofocus blocks. Firmware still at Version 1.0

When I got this camera in the summer, it was a hot steamy evening. So being near the coast we went for a walk on the beach. I took a few shots in the dark, and wow ! it captured pictures where being almost totally dark, never had a camera that worked in such low light, very pleased and impressed.

Love the Low Light

I have had the original RX1 for many years now. The image quality to this day is absolutely outstanding. The downsides are the viewfinder, auto-focus, and the battery life. I understand the focus, and the viewfinder are greatly improved with the II. I am holding off on replacing my trusty I because I keep hearing rumors about a III which might be 40mm and f1.8.....hoping that is right around the corner

Not the II, but...

This is the purchase of my second unit of this generation, having had the previous iterations: RX1 and the RX1R too. This is a camera that I'm already very familiar with for professional applications and delivery of top quality image files. The only draw-back is poor battery life, but the solution to that is to have multiple batteries. First rate camera, excellent build quality and excellent value for money too!

Superb... with professional specifications

Professional quality incognito

I received it one day and returned it the next day due to overheating -
I only took about 10 stills-
I then purchase the Leica Q2-

Very Disappointed-

I have the Sony RX1, the RX1R m1 and m2 but this camera needs two things to make it the best compact full frame ever made: 1) better AF (use the latest A7 or A9 tech) and 2) better battery (use the Sony Z battery if possible). Sony can leave the sensor and lens alone because they are exceptionally good. Just those two changes, Sony, and you will have a legendary full frame compact that will be better than the Leica Q2.

Legendary Camera - please update to RX1R III now!

This is my go to camera. When traveling I always take my RX1RII. On major trips, it's in the bag with my a7RII. Although you're stuck with a fixed 35mm lens, it is a fabulous point & shot camera and much easier to carry around than my a7.
I love the low light capability and the image quality of this little camera. One photographer called it a great street camera....I couldn't agree more.
It is expensive, but in my opinion, if you can afford it...get it! You will fall in love with it!

A Great Walking Around Camera

Impressed by reviews, I sold 2 Panasonic cameras and lenses to purchase this one. I actually like a fixed focal length, and 35mm is my preferred choice. I am also an admirer of Zeiss optics. Image resolution is excellent. I find, however, that there are too many features and an over complicated menu system. I prefer the Leica approach to features and menus, but the Q is not for me. However, one can reduce the need to access the main menu but assigning functions to various keys - excellent. The EVF is a delight.

Impressive resolution

Bought this for aerial photography use and it’s a game changer

Awesome cam

I bought this camera to go along side my A7R3 and haven't been disappointed, image quality is excellent, on par with my A7R3.

Small Wonder

i have had a bunch of sony cameras, from the NEX series to the RX100 to the A7 and now the RX1R ii. None of the cheaper models i had lasted too long but they were much cheaper with this camera i expect better, "professional" quality as sony calls it. the image quality is very nice no doubt but some of the controls feel subpar for this price. Flimsy control wheels etc. now the EVF simply stopped working for now particular reason. For this price a three year lifespan is just embarrassing .

great cameras but expect much better quality price

So, I finally got my camera on the last day of 2018. Technically, it’s a piece of tech that’s three years old. In terms of the tech world, it’s like three decades... or really?
I’ll start with the ‘dislikes’:
1. This camera is really really expensive! For a fixed lens camera, only Leica Q can match its price tag. But hey, it’s Leica! That red dot along would worth a fortune.
2. The camera makes you feel like a piece of expensive jewelry in your palm, so be careful while walking with it in the Street. Any dent or scratch will definitely break your heart!
3. Hungry for batteries. Youd better prepare two extra batteries to carry out serious shooting sessions.
4. Not weather resistant
Above are all the complaints I have for it. But here comes to ‘likes’:
1. The near medium format image quality right in your palm. Yes, the image quality is stunning! I have to admit this camera is not for rookie photographers and, to bring out the distinctive power, you’d better obtain some degree of post-processing knowledge in Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop. But as long as I start shooting with this little baby, I am kissing goodbye to my old full frame DSLRs and lens. With its Dynamic Range of 13.9 ev at ISO 50, it easily beats the latest Leica M10 which is almost one full stop behind in DR. My images say it all!
2. The portability. Well, I can easily fit it in my winter coat pocket. It’s a point n shoot after all. Don’t feel like mirrorless or DSLR in my hand except for its image quality and functionality.
3. Sony has implanted a computer in this little thing and all the settings, once you mastered them, come so handy for you to deal with various shooting needs. I strongly recommend buying an independent shooters guide by Alexander S White. which provides more insights in bringing out the full potential of the camera.
4. 35mm is the sweet spot for portrait, street photography and landscape. Techically, this lens is slightly wider than a traditional 35mm, at about 33mm by some tech reviews. But checkout the gas town image I shot from the middle of the road. If you like the wide angle view, chances are you will be happy with this 35mm lens, needless to say it’s advantages over the 28mm when cropping is used in post processing.
All in all, this camera can be a great supplement to your Phone camera or your existing mirrorless or DSLR system. It’s portability makes it the ultimate travel companion. It’s definitely a Leica Q killer, unless you have to use zone focusing or your are obsessed with the red dot. I’d highly recommend it to any intermedium photographer who seeks the ultimate combination of image quality and portability.

A Leica Q killer, ultimate point n shoot.

This is a very expensive, top of the range, professional camera, which gives outstanding results every time. It is a pleasure to use, and exactly what I was looking for. Well done Sony! My only complaint is "The instruction manual" It is written on paper so thin you can see the text on the other side, moisture from your fingers wrinkles the pages, and is just stapled together. At a price of £3000 I would expect, not one, but two good quality manuals, one basic, and the other in-depth so I can get the most out of this superb camera. It is just not the same referring the computer all the time.

Profesional

I bought this camera for my trip to Japan. I was amazed on the crispness and quality. It has a very small footprint which makes it easy for traveling with a shoulder strap. Controls are easy to make quick adjustments.

Absolutely Stunning Image Quality

Got Tired Of Luging Around a full size DSLR on my vacations. 
This camera is great, fits in a shoulder bag with plenty of room for guide book, sunscreen, and snacks. takes great pictures and can download them to my smartphone so I can send them to family and friends. Really happy with this camera.
Only drawbacks are 
1: its a bit of a power hog so a spare battery is a must. 
2: have found the 35mm only lens a bit frustrating at times. (I've learned to do more editing as a result, but being able to zoom from 24mm- 80mm would just make this camera perfect)

Great Features Small Package

Truely a wonderful camera. It is great as a travel camera, has the play memories application software, can really be the only camera you need. The 35F2 lens is spectacular.

An amazing camera

Great camera. I hesitated at first when I first saw it because of the price and fixed focal length but I have no regrets. Take great pictures with incredible resolution.

Great camera.

I am at an age when carrying around 2 + kilos of cameras, lenses and associated equipment has become a real problem for me.
I have been using Canon DSLR bodies and "L" lenses for quite a few years and have always been very impressed with the quality of image etc.
Making up my mind to cut way down on equipment has been a very trying time, however, I was fortunate enough to be in a position to test a few quality CSC's and Compacts, some were interesting and others very poor.
The camera that kept jumping out at me was the Sony RXIR II, I was intrigued by some of the comments I read and heard and finally decided to take the plunge and buy one. 
I relunctantly part exchanged the majority of my equipment and ordered the Sony, a difficult day I can tell you, turns out to be the best move I could have made, I am, quite honestly, besotted with this little gem.
The quality of image in whatever mode I decide to use can be outstanding, even the odd macro picture proves to be quite a revelation at times. 
I will no doubt miss some of my Canon gear, I don't, however, miss lugging around all the weight though!
A perfect Camera to ease me through my old age and be still able to take a quality picture.

Miniaturization at its technical best.

I use only prime lenses and favour 35mm. The fact that I cannot change the lens on this small camera does not worry me. I found the slightly larger Leica Q (at 28mm) just too wide (though it is a great camera) and so bought the RX1R MkII. It is excellent. The menu is extensive and can be reduced to easily accessible "favourites" using the Fn button. Images are brilliant and sharp. This is a Full-Frame small camera that will happily live alongside my Leica CL that I use when I need changeable prime lenses. The RX1R MkII will be my travelling companion (but I do take a lot of (cheap) batteries as they are quite small).
