Just couldn't resist. Sold my RX1 6 Months ago with the idea to get primes for my A7RII, however whatever i've tried something just wasn't right.. Also nice to have two cameras and not needing to switch lenses (what was i really thinking when i sold it.. :-) ).. a7RII with 85GM + RX1RII is a nice kit.. Just need the Loxia 21 now..

I often use the Sony Rx1rII as a secondary camera in my shoots.
Perhaps I should use it as my primary camera.
Here are a few from an Indian wedding in Hawaii.
By the way, the Sony is my go to camera for group shots.
The last two wedding photos at iso 6400.

Here are two photos that I took in downtown Phoenix, AZ this past Monday night, when the ambient temperature was still over 100 degrees:
Both photos were taken with Sony's LENR turned _off_ and exposed for 30 seconds at f8 and ISO 100.
Normally, they would be a mess of hot pixels and sensor noise when taken under these conditions, but my revised shooting protocol seems to have overcome this quite effectively.
I need to do more testing to get all the details dialed-in, but for the moment, I'm quite encouraged by these results.

Great work everyone. Joe, you really know to get the best out of this little camera.
I haven't had the chance to seriously test drive mine, but in taking a few test shots around my place I realized that I had to watch my shutter speed. Probably I have to adjust my hand holding technique a bit (being used to the slightly bigger a7 series). How slow can everyone shoot with the m2 without getting blurry pictures, if I may ask. The other day I tried and the sharpness level of a shot at 1/80 (and comparatively low ISO) didn't convince me, but then again it was quite humid/hazy.

As far as shutter speed, I'm sure a lot of people can handle slower shutter speeds than me, but I usually like to be over 1/100 to insure sharpness viewed at 100% with the 42 mp sensor. However, I have a lot of photos taken at slower shutter speeds that look awesome at 25% or 50% viewing, which might be just fine depending on the print size.

Depends on the person and style. Barring the early days (that was with camera number 1 that Sony replaced with the current one), now I just use it in the most carefree way possible (almost exclusively used for street snaps). The default settings: AWB, F/2.5-4, AFC (one of the AF subsets), Auto ISO. Minimal shutter speed 1/250s (this drops when the max ISO6400 is hit and the light is low).
Play around and find yours.

Thanks Chris. Always helps to shoot interesting subject matter and an Indian Wedding is right up there. If I need to shoot at slower speeds I use the well known trick of using the camera strap around my neck for stability. As long as I hold the camera at arms length and the strap taut around my neck I can shoot at 1/60 and slower if absolutely necessary. And I take more than one photo to increase the odds of getting a sharp image. Hope this helps.
Cool shot Werner and some magical shots on the previous page.
