Wouldn't it be $2500 cheaper just to start with a pre-cropped APS-C camera?Does anyone know whether it has a 50mm crop mode?

I just might buy 2 of them. :clap:
Good thing I didn't waste my money on one of those crappy Batis lenses that don't exist. :banghead:
Such a thing does not exist here in Sony land. There is no NEX that is consistent with the FF NEX' that were actually introduced AFTER the RX1.One reason that tempts me is file consistency, between a larger camera and a smaller one that's a constant companion. Similarly, someone might choose an M240 for purposeful shooting, and Leica Q as a carry-around.
I am looking for a titanium Contax T equivalent (size wise). The Panasonic GM5, Samsung NX mini (no finder but they are about the same price of an Oly RD1) are contenders. No need for a sofa.Here's a compact full-frame camera with eye level finder and classic lines that I won't be paying for until next spring:
I don't know about you guys, but I am not finding $3300 in change beneath my sofa cushions. Of course it might help if I owned a sofa (details).
You're quite right and I did. I've had my a6000 for almost a year and a half now and it's the camera I most use - I still have the old NEX-6 that preceded it but the a6000 in my opinion is better, of course.Wouldn't it be $2500 cheaper just to start with a pre-cropped APS-C camera?
I am also trying to find info on the crop modes but looks like they only allow this when the camera is set to JPEG. What I would love is that the live view/preview/field of view changes to the crop you select even if the camera records the full RAW file.It does I believe. They state clear/smart zoom of 1.4x, 2x and digital zoom of 4x, 6.2x & 8x (but you could just crop in post anyway).
I do like the sound of the new 1:1 and 4:3 image ratios too.
Ok, that's it, I'm putting this thread on ignore ... :ROTFL:
Not if you want the 35/42mp *and* the crop mode.Wouldn't it be $2500 cheaper just to start with a pre-cropped APS-C camera?
Good point (in particular 1''/20MP).Why would that be a problem considering the high pixel 1", m43 and such sensor cams out there?
I think (?) that if you shoot raws plus jpegs, you may get the cropped image in the VF and a full raw, with the crop frame that you can either confirm or change although this may depends upon the raw converter used), then discard the jpeg.I am also trying to find info on the crop modes but looks like they only allow this when the camera is set to JPEG. What I would love is that the live view/preview/field of view changes to the crop you select even if the camera records the full RAW file.
The only camera I see doing this right around is the Ricoh GR. This could be a deal breaker for me.

I'm not really a fanboy of any brand. What benefit to me is the notion that Sony "is after market share and extremely aggressive about it"? I can't see that Sony aggressively obtaining some fancy numbers in market share affects my photography at all.Honestly you can be a fanboy of any brand but the end of day Sony is after market share and they are extremely agressive about it. ...

The thing is, coming from full-frame; Nikon F3, D700, I do miss the shallow depth of field. Ah well, I suppose it's not really the rx1rII that I pine for, rather the A7RII ...

I guess if you're after producing poster-sized prints most of the time, the hyper-pixel-count has some benefit. But, you're not going to get the coupling of FoV and DoF that you do with a medium format capture. It's still just going to be a 35mm camera's digital image, albeit at very high resolution.
I hope all of you who are buying one find it terrific. I'll look forward to seeing all the fantastic photographs, while I sit back on the sidelines and keep doing my thing. :watch:

Horse for courses. What floats your boat may not float mine and vice versa. Personally, for what I want a camera to do it is near perfect on paper which is why I want one. Probably not the same as what you want. Sometimes our choices may coincide but that really isn't of great interest.I suspect Leica is going to keep producing Leica cameras, not Sonys. ]'-)
Absolutely zero interest in the "Rx1r2" for me, regardless of price. I'm sure it's a nice camera; why anyone wants one remains a mystery to me.

I really did 'LOL' to this. I've so far pre-ordered and cancelled the Batis 25 twice. I'm not convinced there has ever been any supply here in the UK. Zeiss is becoming very Leica-like in this regard. Announce a product and you may get one in 6-9 months if the moon, stars and horoscope are in alignment.I just might buy 2 of them. :clap:

AFA the Leica Q, it has crop modes like FF 24Mp for 28mm, 15MP for 35mm and 8MP for 50mm. If you change your mind later, one can revert back to the full 24MP 28mm image.I am also trying to find info on the crop modes but looks like they only allow this when the camera is set to JPEG. What I would love is that the live view/preview/field of view changes to the crop you select even if the camera records the full RAW file.

I'm a photographer. If there's only one camera made in the world, I'll use that. If there are none, I'd either be making my own or there wouldn't be photography for me to be a photographer and the question would be moot.Sorry but that's where your wrong. Without companies going after market share than whatever camera your shooting may not exist. It's all related to market share and stock holder value be it Leica, Nikon, canon or whomever. It's about selling product. That's the business end of it. It's directly related to the camera you have. otherwise it may never have been produced in the first place. You may think it does not effect you but the business end dictates what is made or not.
Oh, I do so hope you're right!RX2R1 will be ~2000 in a few months.
