TokioIch confess, I'm a Kameranarr. In recent years I have tested a few devices, and occasionally even bought one. But hardly a camera I've been waiting with more tension than on Sony's foray into the league of full-format cameras, the compact RX1. Because Sony boss Kaz Hirai had recently called in a small circle as his first foster child.

It is the first product that he had a new CEO under his wing and from prototype to product cherished and cared for, he said recently in Sony's Tokyo headquarters. Almost as a mentor, he would see of key products for being the wow factor (quote Hirai) have, the Sony was not only come in his opinion, more and more lost.

Media, he has succeeded in the RX1: The applause was huge when Sony vgp-bps8 in the summer of 2012, the markets with a compact camera, surprised the almost Leica-standard image sensor that is as large as a classic miniature negative, with a permanently mounted, relatively bright 35 -millimeter lens combined. Most testers umhängten the camera also with laurels.

The side effect: The large objective lens is predestined as a handle to the camera ready to shoot inconspicuously carry while walking. Raise, venture from the hip a discreet photo or raise the camera to her face to the screen, or by the attachable electronic viewfinder choose the subject that I'm fast on the flesh and blood.

This handy aspect of the objective is not to be underestimated, if one sees the Sony VGP-BPS13B/Q camera as a constant companion. For although she was shrunk as small as possible - for example, being much smaller than my camera Lumix GH3 system - it is not for the West or suit pocket. Possibly in the deep pockets of my winter jacket fit as straight.

It differs significantly from its smaller brother, the equally hyped Sony VGP-BPS13A/Q RX100, which usually accompanies me on every step. But for the increased weight and volume I get a variety and above all, a picture quality that is my impression that compete with the best in the industry.

Thankfully, Sony offers a distance scale on the screen, which would have the potential to replace their model to the lens fully satisfying. Unfortunately my camera is noted that setting if they fell into the standby mode. After waking up, the objective was realigned Infinite and I had to readjust the focus zone again. And presto, the decisive moment had passed. Maybe I missed something, but I think not very apt. But perhaps, a software update instill a bit more memory.

As workhorse Sony vgp-bps13 RX1 is not the right camera for me. I need video and interchangeable lenses. But I had enough pocket money left over, the RX-1 for me would be an extremely attractive secondary camera for traveling. The quality of a full frame sensor is superior for photos smaller sensors simply. Although it is not cheap. But their acquisition can be in the intra-household budget deliberations well justified with the argument that is still cheaper than a Leica 35-millimeter-2.0-Summicron lens to be, not to mention the additional necessary Leica camera entirely. So for me it is an alternative as a status symbol for photo enthusiasts who want to stand out from the crowd, but where a Leica is too expensive.

But toward the corners makes the sharpness to about 25 percent. The measurement of the detail is showing good results. The expert review but criticized 800th soft images from ISO Noise comes from ISO 400 to the full size of the screen, but looks disturbingly only from ISO 1600.
