I once had a Rx1 and found the Color better than that of the A7.Things change for the better.
I don't have the A7r II but have the RX1R II (similar tech) and it is pretty good. The AF (PDAF) is so good that I do not use manual focus (for the first time) at all!
The SL will mature in years to come, no doubt about that.
I glanced through another forum and one of the mods there is claiming that the 24mp resolves more than 42mp and is getting slammed by some of the participants there.
Can anyone here support that claim (24 Leica is sharper than 42 Sony)?
I have high doubts that the SL 24MP would outresolve a 42mp sensor (when an appropriate lens is used) but I have not checked myself.
I know that the 36MP from the Leica S outresolve the SL, so I assume the RX1RII or a A7RII with a good lens would outresolve the SL (at least if one goes up to a certain print size).
On the other side, if you mean S.H. than we all know that he is sometimes a Little enthusiastic about new cameras.
