Sensors:- Sony DSC-RXIR II has a back-illuminated 35mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor with 42MP resolution while Panasonic LX100 has 4/3 format based 12.8MP resolution with MOS sensor, it has been used by many Panasonic mirrorless camera earlier.

Sony RXI R II is supported by advanced Binoz X image processor which maintains the better image resolution even in low-light conditions compare to LX100 and also supports PDAF.

In sports mode the users can captures 42MP files @5fps using DSC-RXIR II while Panasonic LX100 can capture 12.8MP files @ 11fps, The LX100 does have less resolution but it gives a very impressive continuous shooting speed.

Sony DSC-RXIR II has the world’s first Optical Variable Low Pass Filter – The Sony RX1R is the world first camera that features world’s first variable optical low-pass technology inside. The filter allow users to select the desired level of filtration they need, three settings: Off, Standard, and Hi.

Optical Zoom:- LX100 has optical zoom of 3.1x where RXIR II has fixed optical lens. So the optical zoom of LX100, supports the users to capture the required subjects without moving there legs, at the same time it keeps the quality of the images up to the mark. Hence the larger optical zoom of LX100 will sure help you to get images framed as you want.

Aperture Range:- LX100 has a variable aperture of F1.7-F2.8 while RXIR II, has fixed aperture of F2.0. However we have to keep in mind despite of having better aperture at wide-end of the lens Panasonic will not able to provide the amount of DOF that Sony RX1 R II can generate with its F2.0 lens. The biggest reason behind is the difference in sensor size of both the camera. The Sony RX1R II uses fullframe sensor whereas Panasonic LX100 uses a 4/3 format sensor.

Macro:- LX100 has less macro range of 3cm where as RXIR II has macro mode of 14cm. Hence the less macro of LX100 supports close up view of the small subjects such as flowers, insects even small subjects, without approaching towards them compare to RXIR II.

Image Stabilization:- LX100 has optical image stabilization which helps to reduce the camera shake during shooting. It helps the fresher to capture images without worrying about their unwanted hand-shake, hence resulting better and impressive images. No image stabilization present in Sony RX1R II.

AF System:- Sony RXIR II has 399 phase AF points which is supported by its 25 contrast AF points, whereas LX100 uses outdated contrast based AF system. Hence, the AF System of Sony DSC-RXIR II helps to track the subject in full frame with wider AF coverage with more sharp and accuracy. On the other side the Panasonic LX100

ISO:- RXIR II has the expanded ISO of 102400 while the LX100 has expanded ISO is limited to 25600, hence RXIR II will give better low-light performance compared to the RX1R II camera. Hence RXIR II captures magnificent images in low- light conditions compare to LX100.

Shutter speed:- As we know the camera with more shutter speed gains more capacity in capturing the fast action subjects. The Panasonic LX 100 has better shutter speed compare to Sony DSC-RXIR II. So the users can capture the fast moving subjects much quicker and easier.

Top Continuous Shooting Speed:- Panasonic LX 100 has better continuous shooting speed of 11fps compare to 5fps of RXIR II.

Videos:– Panasonic LX 100 offers 4K Ultra HD 3840 x 2160 video recording at 30 or 24 fps in MP4 format .It also records Full HD 1080p video at 60 or 30 fps in MP4 or AVCHD formats. While RXIR II limited to Full HD videos at 60p only.

Sensor:- Sony DSC-RXIR II has a back-illuminated 35mm full-frame Exmor R CMOS sensor with 42MP resolution which more than its predecessor DSC-RXIR.

Not only resolution the new sensor uses BSI / back-illuminated sensor, with the help of BSI tech the camera will feature improve low-light sensitivity.

Due to its advanced image processor Bionz X, it maintains exceptional noise control under normal range of ISO 100-25600, which can be further expandable upto 50 – 1024002. The Bionz X helps the users to capture 42MP files @5fps whether the DSC-RXIR was limited to 24.3MP files @5fps.

 

Low Pass Filter:- Sony DSC-RXIR II has the world’s first Optical Variable Low Pass Filter, which supports the reduction of moiré caused by its high ISO. Due to its implementation, the users can manually balance the amount of filtration they need in the image.

Whereas RXIR has no optical low pass filter.

AF System:- Sony DSC-RXIR II sensor has 399 focal-plane phase-detection AF points which covers about 45% of the compositional area; by using the A7R II sensor it automatically gained the title of the world’s widest AF coverage on a compact full-frame sensor camera. While RXIR has 25 contrast sensors, which is very far behind of RXIR II.

RXIR II has 399 phase AF points is further fine-tuned its 25 contrast AF points, results upto 30% faster speed compare to its predecessor RXI R. Hence RXIR II can track the subject in full frame faster, sharper and with accuracy compare to RXI R.

ISO:- Sony DSC-RXIR II has standard range of ISO 100-25600, which can be further expandable upto 50 – 102400 while RXIR standard ISO allows you to set ISO between 100-25600 and the Expandable ISO range gives you ability to push your base ISO to 50. Hence the users get one more better to choose the Sony DSC-RXIR II over the RX1R.

Verdict: The specification of the recently announced Sony RX1R II is far better than of the old Sony RX1 R camera, the new camera features better sensor with hybrid AF system and BSI technology that will give you more details / ISO range while shooting in low light condition.

The other major advantage is introduction of high quality OLED  will help you in shooting in harsh sunlight.
