  • good value for money

  • January 29, 2013
  • By: khaled

I am a semipro photographer with an extensive gear of pentax 645d, Nikon full frame,sony nex7 with many lenses Sigma SD1, Dp1,2 Merril. The RX1 is the best quality for size you can have. The camera is easy to use, good in low light, superb colors, sharpness of the zeiss lens. I would have loved optical image stabilization for stills other than that that camera won't disappoint. If you can spend that much money it is really a good investement.
