Re: Leica Q vs Sony RX1rII - My in depth impressions
Let\'s face it they are both excellent cameras and amazing pieces of technology. Personally I would like the Q to have the tilting screen and maybe the the better DR of the Sony and the Sony to have the analogue controls, AF speed, MF focussing of the Q. In the right hands both will produce astounding images and really it just comes down to a matter of personal preference. Oh and I would like both of them to be fully weatherproof.
I carry the Q with the A7rII with either the FE55 or Loxia 50 most days when out and about and if I want just something in my trouser pocket I carry the RX100 mkIII
As to the distortion issue I find the 28/1.7 summilux combined with the Q sensor to be one of the best lenses I have ever used. I get an astonishing pixel level of sharpness (I find the Q files need a lot less sharpening than my files from the A7rII to reach the same level of clarity) and even when stopped down to only f2.8 I get clarity across the images into the corners, The rendering wide open gives gorgeous bokeh for environmental portraits and I would challenged anyone to see any problems with the image due to digital correction when viewed as a print (even on screen at 1:1 I can\'t see any problems). In fact I get sharper images across the frame than I used to get with my M240 and summicron 28 asph (both now gone to new owners). If you want 35mm and 42mp then the Sony will of course produce stunning images
