Have you ever wondered if technology would get to the point where you could own a camera that fits in a coat pocket or large pants pocket but delivers near digital medium format image quality? Well my friends we are almost there, but in many ways, we have surpassed that..as in..there is BETTER than medium format in a camera that can fit in your coat pocket! Before you scream and attack, read this review in full and let me explain.

After using the new RX1R now for a while I can say that I AM NOT disappointed and while it is not a huge or even dramatic difference over the old RX1, to me it is 100% noticeable. Not only in the 100% views and prints but for some reason it appears that there may be more micro contrast because the images I am getting from the “R” seem to pop a little more, just like my old Leica M9 but with GOBS more Dynamic Range. Even when resizing images down to 1800 pixels wide, there is a biting sharpness to the images while still keeping that beautiful smooth look of the RX1. Put this camera in good hands and I am sure amazing things will come from it.
