This whole thing is a really silly take. I can absolutely afford the RX1R Mark III and I can also say it's too expensive and there's no way I'd buy it at that price. And being mentioned in the same sentence as the Q is not a win when the sentence is "this damn thing is nearly as expensive as the Q, but isn't even a Leica." Otherwise, Fuji could just kick up the price on the X Half to $6,500 and enjoy that sweet victory. Obviously some people are going to buy the RX1R III. That was never in doubt. There are always some people who will pay any price for something they want. That's not to say that it's priceworthy. -
There is a tendency here to equate “I can’t afford it” or “it’s not what I need” or “I don’t like it” to “it’s too expensive” or “it’s useless” or “why?”. These are very different. This camera will sell - to those who can afford it and for whom it does what is wanted and who are attracted to the form factor, build and features. Notice how it is already being mentioned in the same sentence as the Q. That is already a win for Sony. Maybe not for “us” but I suspect that buyers are certainly out there. Including potential Q buyers. I’d have been a bit tempted but I’ve recently streamlined into a non-Sony system (more on this later when the rest of the new kit arrives!). -
Canon's quietly building a full spectrum system: RF hybrids, Cinema EOS, bridging bodies like the R5C, and now smart hybrid lenses + the V line. Less hype, more ecosystem thinking. Nikon is I indeed in the strongest position since acquiring RED to really blow our socks off with whatever is coming. The one brand I’d like to see step up in video is Fuji. The XH2S was a strong start, would love to see that concept pushed further. I know they’ve got that Eterna GFX high end cine cam, but something in between would hit a sweet spot. -
I quite like the FX2 myself and but for a couple of things, came close to buildings system around it, but when it came down to it, for my needs, L Mount just had more for me at this time. I’m pretty sure that by the end of the year they (Sony) will have redeemed themselves plus if Nikon make some of the rumored moves with RED as some expect, the momentum will shift once again, as it always does. Canon seem to be the quiet one right now… -
I don't think neither this RX or FX2 is aimed at consumer mass. RX has always been compact premium even if you can now find the ageing models at bargain pricing. I think the negative reception is actually from seeing things in a vacuum of saturated camera releases. Not trying to defend Sony here, they are clearly stagnating with incremental releases and recycled tech.. and the pricing doesn't match the expectations. That said I think the online reception has been bit unfair with FX2 dismissing it completely because it crops 4K60p etc. Also strangely to me, the tilt EVF has been redeemed by some as useless! Oddly videographers and even photographers (including yourself I believe) have abandoned EVF shooting in favour of display shooting. To each their own and clearly that's become the norm maybe thanks to smartphone habits, but for me, and I guess I'm a minority, that tilt EVF is brilliant and something unique and missing in the mirrorless world. So for that alone I give Sony a round of applause. Now if they could gives us open gate, internal RAW etc across the FX line, now that would be serious game changer..
