Yes, I am aware of those other cameras that exist side by side, but since the RX1r has appeared much later then the RX1 it feels far more like a replacement camera. Just like the Fuji X100 and X100S.
We shall see going forward.
X100 vs X100s resulted in quite a number of changes though, not only the sensor, but also the EVF, the design and location of various switches etc. There may be some shared parts used, but by and by its a new camera design, and unless I'm mistaken, Fuji is no longer producing the old X100
The RX1 vs R model on the other hand both appear to be still in product, and aside from the lack of AA filter, the overall body, buttons etc all seem identical.
Hard to know for certain but it seems like they probably are rolling off the same assembly line up to the point where the sensor sub-assembly goes into them.
I'd still buy an R if I was going to buy either brand new today, but I don't think other than the AA filter removal your getting an "improved" camera.
