Even though the R3 has a lot of polarizing opinions, at least this thread will get another breath of fresh air as some of the complaints of the R2 that made users hesitant to get one, found the R3 acceptable enough. Love checking out this thread.

A Week or Two with the RX1R III — First Impressions & Photo Dump
Things I Love
* Autofocus: AF-C is spot-on. Even face detection is impressively reliable—better than what I’ve seen from the Fuji GFX-RF and even the Leica Q3.
* The Zeiss Lens: The 35mm f/2 shouldn’t be dismissed just because it’s not new. Honestly, it’s the reason I picked up this camera, and I love the character, rendering, and handling.
* Compact Size: A full-frame sensor in a camera this small, paired with a fixed lens—it feels special.
* Ergonomics: Button layout and controls are thoughtfully placed. Nothing feels like it’s missing.
* Film Looks: Film Look 1 and 2 deliver beautiful out-of-camera output. Film Look 2 in particular is gorgeous.
* Overall Package: It’s just an amazing little all-in-one system.
Things I Don’t Love
* Menus: It’s still a Sony. The menu system makes me want to run back to Leica.
* Shutter Speed: Maxing out at 1/2000 feels limiting. I wish it went to at least 1/4000 and switched to electronic shutter automatically.
* Aperture Ring: No tactile indent, which makes it harder to grab than it should be.
* Screen: I miss having a flip screen. That said, the AF detection is so good that it usually nails focus anyway (though for landscapes, the fixed screen is less useful).

Early morning walk through midtown Manhattan. I have to find a 1/4 or 1/8 black mist filter, the bloom effect of the 1/2 is very strong and must be used carefully.
