Camera Sony RX1

This camera can be called a unique model (at least at the time of release in the fall of 2012). Formally, being a digital compact with non-replaceable optics, in a number of characteristics it is comparable not only to mirrorless cameras, but also to SLR cameras. Thus, a 24.3 MP matrix has a full frame size and sensitivity up to ISO 25,600, and a lens with a fixed focal length of 25 mm provides f / 2 aperture. Shooting in RAW format is provided, as well as video recording in Full HD with an external microphone. Power supply — from the battery.

Does a full frame make a difference? Is it worth buying a full-frame camera?Do I need to spend money on an expensive full frame or is it better to buy a cropped camera?..

Model modification:

Sony DSC-RX1R - the only difference is the presence of a low-pass filter
Sony DSC-RX1 - the difference is only in the absence of a low-pass filter

Good to know:

AA filter (moire filter):
Some cameras are shipped without an AA filter. The advantage over cameras, where it is, is only in the detail of the picture. When shooting very detailed objects, there may be a "moiré" effect when small details are intertwined. The AA filter is designed to correct this, but the image may leave a slight imprint in the form of a loss of detail and a slightly blurred image. Not everyone needs this, but to achieve maximum detail in the frame, you need to buy a camera that does not have an AA filter.
