Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1

The Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 is a compact full-frame camera featuring a 24.3-megapixel sensor and a fixed Carl Zeiss Sonnar T* 35mm f/2 lens. It was pioneering for its time, offering high-end image quality in a body small enough for street photography and travel. The leaf shutter allows for very quiet operation and high-speed flash sync. It lacks a built-in viewfinder, relying instead on the rear LCD or external accessories. Potential buyers should check the condition of the rear LCD, as the anti-reflective coating can delaminate over time. The manual focus and aperture rings on the Zeiss lens should be checked for smooth rotation. SDS verifies that the sensor is free from dust, as the fixed-lens design makes professional cleaning difficult. We also test the multi-interface shoe for secure connection with external flashes or viewfinders.
