Last sunday I held a RX-1 at the local camera store.
Technically it has everything I wish for:
  • Full Frame sensor
  • Zeiss 35mm lens
  • Compact size

However it feels and handles like any other digital p&s. Found it hard to manual control it. Most importantly I don't see the value in it for $2800 😱

If it only was a Fuji XL100 :angel:

  • Full frame sensor
  • Slightly bigger body
  • Max $1800
 
I'm assuming you mean digital camera, and that you mean 24x36mm is FF - already done. On 9/9/9 the Leica M9, I believe was the first FF mirrorless (non slr).

I'm waiting for the first affordable digital FF camera.

Viewfinder

Viewfinder

Just to put the Cat among the Pigeons!
I still think if it does not have a viewfinder. Either Optical or Electronic. It doesnt count.
I still dont get the "No Viewfinder" thing. I am sure the RX1 is an amazing Camera. But, how much for the "Optional" vewfinder? £380.00 for the cheap one! Thats almost 2 Nikon 1 V1`s at the moment!
On our recent trip to South America. Over 300m Altitude (In the Sun) the screen was completely useless. As were your eyes if you did not have Sun glasses on.

I think if Voigtlander/Cosina did the "Bessa D" they would clean up.
We have been talking about that one for years tho!

Indeed, but if you're talking about the optical finder for the RX1, then you could just get any optical finder if you wanted, a used Voigtlander or something, save a bit of money. I like that Sony are touting an optical finder as an option, but all in all, I think the RX1 is a bit steep for what it is.
 
Future FF... Pentax/Ricoh

Reason is that I would expect Sony to be first and therefore it will be someone else. Ricoh has been silent for a couple of years. Pentax has said FF mirrorless is on the way. The wild card is Fuji, but really it could come from any quarter.
 
When I answered Leica didn't even cross my mind though they obviously had the first "main-stream/mass produced/wide audience" full frame camera without a mirror. I think.

I could say something cheeky about the fact I totally forgot about Leica but I won't. 😀
