Sony told PetaPixel that it needed to develop the right technology to make a new RX1R camera worth it, and that tech took time.

If you browse cameras on eBay, you’ve likely come across a deal that looked too-good-to-be-true: high-end, new, shiny, bargain basement price, and offered for sale by a seller with zero feedback. In the interest of research (and curiosity) I bought one of these cameras on eBay knowing I would likely be scammed. I wasn't disappointed.
It was eight years ago that I reviewed the Panasonic ZS200, and I was immediately impressed by the compact size of the camera, along with a massive 15x optical zoom range.
