Just returned from a vacation with the Mrs. to Slovenia. The little RX1r did not disappoint. Did find that I've some dust on the sensor, will have to figure out if this is something under my warranty or not (as I bought used). Some of these are 2-4 shot stitched photos,
I got also dust on my sensor after only about 800 shots (RX1R), and send it to repair, but Sony answered, that they would not clean it.
Very sorry, even the camera is very good: Will never buy Sony again, and Lloyd Chambers has also written about the VERY poor customer help from Sony.
It destroys the fun with the camera, that you have to remove dust at every picture, and as everybody know, You can not clean it yourself from the camera, as You can
with a DSLR
Never Sony again.
Thanks, interesting, what filter do you recommend = Normally a filter degrade the sharpness ? (I do not care, what it cost, just want the very best)I hope to have my hands on a RX1r new before the end of the year. After lot of study I do not think I need an another DSLR than my D700 and I do not think I should invest into more lenses.
The thing is 37MP is too much for me, even more today than few years ago, when 37MP was introduced. So I need a very good 24MP camera and miss 35mm focal. Very good 24 MP camera like D700 do not exist. Some might say D750 but no, thank you.
The RX1r is, as the date of today, the most finished camera Sony ever crafted. It is, built wise, superior to any A7 camera to date even A7r2d2.
I've got dust on sensor with PS camera before, like the DP series. Every time, after a while, the dust go off. This is my experience and it is related to lens breathing. My advice is to put immediately a filter. My dust spot appeared only after filter removal for whatever reason.
That's maybe true on some cameras ?? I did the "sharpnessloss" test on my DP3 Merrill with a Heliopan simple protective filter (or maybe it was UV) : No loss at pixel level. So I think you can just go with a good quality filter. If you want the best and your in the US go Breakthrough Photography filters.Thanks, interesting, what filter do you recommend = Normally a filter degrade the sharpness ?

I absolutely love my Rx1R. It makes me think of what a DP Merrill could have been properly engineered and refined.I hope to have my hands on a RX1r new before the end of the year.

Either a Heliopan or B and W.Thanks, interesting, what filter do you recommend = Normally a filter degrade the sharpness ? (I do not care, what it cost, just want the very best)
Thanks to Hulyss and Ute.
No...... in Denmark (Europe), but I will certainly find it.
By the way: I send the DP2M back because of the same (I have all 3 Merrills), and the new DP2M does not have the problem (at least untill now but perhaps I could have solved it in this way.
I find this interesting. I guess I've been lucky -- knock wood! -- because I live in central Arizona, where we have dust storms regularly during the monsoon season, so there is lots and lots of dust in the air (which is hardly a surprise, what with this area being a desert and all), yet I can't recall the last time I had a problem with dust infiltrating any of my cameras or lenses.I've got dust on sensor with PS camera before, like the DP series.
