I have one as well and I think it is amazing. The sharpness, bokeh-aji, and control scheme are top notch. The camera feels incredibly solid and just "works" to make beautiful photos. I've always been a prime shooter, so I love the fixed focal length. I'd love to see a RX2 with a 50mm lens next. AF isn't lightning quick, but it's definitely more than adequate. Picture quality in low light is incredible--agreed. Just a suggestion to you--all of your pics here have some significant barrel distortion. If you're shooting JPEG out of the camera, you should turn your lens distortion correction on in the menu settings. It fixes most (but not all) of the distortion. If you shoot RAW, you can do this in post with Lightroom. Hi Allen, I love your blog and your review of the RX1. I have one as well and I think it is amazing.

I shoot with a Sony a77 and I stand by my decision. As a photographer, I've had many the eyeroll towards my choice to go with a Sony DSLT over a Nikon or Canon equivalent, but now that everyone is starting to board the Sony ship, Im already there saying "See! I told you!" I believe Sony will become a very big player in the game, very soon. Really excellent review! I shoot with a Sony a77 and I stand by my decision.
