DxO tests the RX1rII sensor performance (spoiler: no surprise).

DxOmark (Click here) posted the full Sony RX1rII sensor review. And as expected the performances more or less matches the one of the A7rII. DxO writes:

It isn’t any surprise to see that the 42-Mpix sensor in the [shopcountry 43460]Sony Cyber-shot RX1R II[/shoplink] is related to the unit in the Sony A7R II; however, the performance improvements over the earlier models are significant and help regenerate some the interest lost to the superb Leica Q. In terms of sensor dynamics, the Sony has the upper hand, but whether that and the inclusion of a built-in EVF is enough comes down to personal choice.
While the two models adopt equally impressive lenses, it is the focal length, and thus the field of view, that’s likely to be most important single determining factor when choosing between the two. If you like the 35mm focal length, then the upgraded sensor in the Sony RX1R II makes a compelling case.

Additional note: It’s still not clear why Sony delayed the RX1rII shipment in Japan. And it’s not clear if that affects all countries or not.
