Re: Official: Sony RX1R III Digital Camera announced!
This whole thread (along with a similar Redditt thread) is really funny. Lots of very smart people who love camera gear trying to find technical reasons why they are upset the camera is more than they are willing to spend. If this camera was $3000, everyone would be talking about how long it would take to get one and whether it would be perpetually sold out like the Fuji X100VI.
So, why is it so expensive? Because Sony is fine leaving it as a niche product and there's pent up demand, albeit from a small group. If someone wants it, they will buy it. If they want an A1 ii instead, they'll buy that. If you want to see some super high priced, very niche Sony gear, check out their audiophile grade stuff. The DMP-Z1 is an $8,500 digital audio player. It is a work of art, but I doubt they sell many and I doubt they care.
