I loved the first Sony RX1R. Owning it was a delight back in 2013. It was the only camera I brought on my trip to Japan and I was able to capture some amazing shots with it.
My absolute favorite camera I've ever owned. Tiny and full-frame. An impressive low-light performer with a solid Zeiss 35mm ƒ/2 lens featuring a fun-to-use, tactile aperture ring. I really could not have asked for a better package. —Sony RX1R (Archived)
The new RX1R III improves on the same formula. However, this time they've drastically increased the price. It's now a whopping $5,000+. That's definitely Leica Q3 territory, and while I would still take the RX1R III (I value size a lot and the Q3 is a tad bigger in every dimension), it's a tough sell at this price point. As such, I'm putting it on my wanted list for now.
