New Sony RX1 tests (some amazing pics and sick RX1 video by Philip Bloom)

Share

Waiting for the RX1:
Let’s start the new week by talking about the unique Sony RX1. The camera is now shipping worldwide via [shoplink 15595 ebay]Asian eBay stores (Click here)[/shoplink]. But it will be soon in Stock in other countries too. P.S.: just save that Slidoo eBay search to get notified when it will be in Stock in other countries too (change country after login).

New RX1 reviews:
The well known Japanese website DC.watch (translation here) posted a full Sony RX1 test. They also did a small comparison with the Leica M9 and Olympus E-M5. And because google translation tool doens’t the job very well I can’t  understand their conclusion :)
Also Yodbashi (translation here) posted a new RX1 shooting report. Check it out because some pics are amazing!
Darwinfish posted a short RX1 two low light video on youtube (and here is the second video). You can also see a first amateurish unboxing AF test. The sickest video has been shot by Philip Bloom -> Sorry for the bad joke Philip :)
Street Photography Workshops posted a short set of RX1 samples. Also Steve Huff posted some RX1 B&W pics.
