Comment:

This compact fixed lens camera's impressive performance puts it among the very best of current digital cameras and way above anything else of its size. The RX1 supposedly uses the same sensor as the Sony A99, but in view of the huge differences in the results, this appears to be virtually impossible. It has been suggested that Sony uses the best sensors of a batch for the RX1 with the rest going into A99 production, but given the pronounced differences, this seems unlikely. The sensors of the RX1 and A99 may share some components, but the results strongly suggest that there are some fundamental differences.
