The Rx2 is not a pocket cam so the nominal size increase would be a non issue for most especially considering if it was slightly larger we could have the potential for a fixed viewfinder.
Yes, it's just a question of the compromises you'd like in a camera in exchange for the additional features. For me, the compromises that Sony made in this camera are perfect. I wouldn't want it any bigger. If the camera was large enough to accommodate IBIS and a fixed viewfinder, it would be pretty close to A7Rii size, in which case I'd go for the A7Rii for the flexibility of being able to use different lenses.

Yes, if we wanted to fix all the RX1RII "compromises" we would end up with a A7RII.

of course we would then have to compromise on 35mm lenses...

Do you no longer have the first version Helena? I seem to recall you making some incredible shots with it.

Thank you! No, I sold it this summer. The image quality was nice but I didn't enjoy shooting with it so it ended up on the shelf most of the time. With RX1RII (strange name, why not RX2R?) it looks like they have fixed most of the things that bothered me with the first one and I won't deny that it is tempting. Too much money right now, but maybe a used one in a year or so, we'll see. For now I'm staying away from the RX1 picture thread to avoid unnecessary temptations.

Helena, although you may be "staying away from the RX1 picture thread to avoid unnecessary temptations", I am currently up to page 177, having started at page 1. Your RX1 photos (as well as those of many other contributors to that thread) have been an irresistable source of temptation to me. I can't wait to get my hands on an RX1R II and, when the credit card statement arrives, you'll probably be the first person I think of.

Exactly. That thread has sold more RX1s than B&H Photo

I might end up regretting my decision to do so, but I ended up ordering mine from Crutchfield instead of B&H like normally. I absolutely love B&H and have ordered tens of thousands from them in the past and continue to use them as my go to place. But I hesitated enough on ordering this camera from preorder release date that despite thinking that this might be as highly preordered as say the a7rII, conversely that could've meant that instead of getting say 2,000 cameras in the first batch they might only get 400. I've never had any issues with Crutchfield in the past and decided to roll the dice thinking that not too many people would buy a $3,000+ camera from a store primarily known for their car audio and home video. Didn't hurt that I ended up getting 4% back from my credit card and another $50 from them as a store credit.
But all the accessories will come from B&H via Fred's link. I wish I had it in hand now as I'm going away for 4 days prior to the Thanksgiving holiday, but guess I'll have to wait for my Christmas week trip to put it through its paces seriously.

Just like Helena I also sold my RX1 because some things were annoying me. I used it so much, but I grew tired of it's shortcomings. This new version seems to have "fixed" all those things, making it a terribly tempting camera again! Argh. Not nice after having already bought an A7RII recently

Status change with my order status with B&H!
Previously it was "on order". This morning it changed to "new order processing"
It's a good sign. Now waiting for shipping info. I want the camera by Thanksgiving.
