At last Sony gave us the reason why the RX1rII production stopped. There was a light leak issue on cameras serial number from 6310198 to 6311127. If you own a camera with that serial number you will get it repaired by Sony. The RX1RII will go regularly back on sale from February 19.
And now you can watch the video review posted by our friends from TCSTV!
This camera will not win a beauty contest but it will not fail you in situation where most cameras would crash. Leica announced the new X-U Rugged camera (full press text at Explora):
This tough, German-made camera has a waterproof depth rating of 49′ for up to 60 minutes, or IP68. In terms of shock-proofing, its anti-slip rubber exterior is tested to withstand a drop from 4′ high onto a 2-inch-thick wood surface. The body itself, aside from being durable, is of the intuitive design expected from Leica, managing to incorporate a manual focus ring onto the lens, a 3.0″ 920k-dot rear LCD, and a variety of rear controls. To make the X waterproof and durable, the rear dial has been replaced with “plus” and “minus” buttons for fast setting adjustment. Along with all of this, the lens has a built-in flash on top that will help to illuminate dark scenes.
You can preorder it for $2,950 only(!?!?!) at Bhphoto (Click here).
Our reader Aloisius Ilic sent us his Nikon FF renderings. I think Nikon should hire that guy :)
