In this camera review I look at how the Sony RX1R II has become a ‘Modern-day Classic’ camera that demands high-prices for second-hand units that are in good condition. I also look at other fixed-lens full-frame and APS-C that may offer an alternative to someone who is looking for a very compact large-sensor camera. I also weigh up the relative advantages of owning a modern and compact A7CII/A7CR interchangeable lens camera instead of a 10-year old fixed-lens compact camera (all be it a little smaller). We can only guess whether the RX1RII marked the end of the line for Sony’s full-frame compact fixed-lens cameras or whether Sony will surprise us with a new RX1R III camera in 2025 or 2026. In this review I look at the some of the challenges Sony will face in developing a new version that is smaller than the current A7CII and A7CR cameras.
