I think the Sony is actually smaller (and FF)?

It also has some interesting tech onboard like optical variable low-pass filter, but not IBIS I think...
If Nikon pulls off a curved sensor it will beat both. That's good news they still can develop a fancy sensor themselves without relying on Sony (I hope).

But Sony RX1R II is also expensive as hell. You can buy 5D IV for that! Almost Leica pricing territory for a fixed lens compact IMHO.
