except sometimes when I turn on the camera I start cursing because the battery is dead lol :)

The startup delay isn't so bad that I've missed crucial kid photo moments... if anything I would've missed more moments if I only had a Nikon DSLR simply because I'd likely either not have it with me or I might have the wrong lens on it. One small issue with the RX1 and most other Sony cameras for that matter is that if you shoot burst at max FPS, the camera freezes as it writes to the SD card rendering the camera useless for a few seconds. This is definitely annoying but luckily seldom encountered in daily use.

Nice thing about the RX1R II is that you can basically treat it like a point and shoot. This latest version has the same hybrid contrast and phase detect AF as the latest A7RII that tracks my fast moving kids very well. High ISO is also unbelievably good, and better than the D810.

- so an ultra compact fixed 35mm camera or an interchangeable DSLR? - mdwsta4<sup>TM</sup> UROSLUT 2016-09-01 20:31:37 (197 views)
- They both have Sony sensors. Realize the algorithms used are very different, though. - Mike S 2016-08-30 11:31:52 (220 views)

  - fair point on the sensor origins....yea the rx1r seems like a pure splurge & an emotional pick - JeffAhn 2016-08-30 19:16:28 (196 views)
    - If you're reasonably handy, you can modify Sony's wide-angle converter for its 28mm lens... - Audii-Ho 2016-09-27 23:27:24 (196 views)
      - thanks for the info ... after much soul searching and research, ended up with an X-Pro2 - JeffAhn 2016-09-28 22:21:15 (138 views)

        sony needs to pay you commission, or at least brand ambassador status :)  -  JeffAhn  2016-09-01 19:06:56 (171 views)
    - If you an do it, buy a D810 (returb?). It's a far better camera. Much, much better. - Mike S 2016-08-31 11:16:13 (168 views)
      - in what respects besides resolution? doesn't the D750 get the updated autofocus too? - JeffAhn 2016-09-01 11:08:53 (159 views)
        
        D810 has better AF, from my experience. It also has more total range, and a better file. - Mike S 2016-09-01 12:31:15 (168 views)
