APS-C due to volume is by far the cheapest sensor. Comparing larger sensor formats APS-C outsells m43 by about 40:1 in the photography market.

Economies of scale apply at the wafer level, not the part level. You get fewer APS-C sensors out of a wafer.

With respect to the 40:1 ratio, I'd be interested to know what your source source for this number is. It seems vastly too high.

A key point for me is that I simply miss different photos with the X-Pro1 than I miss with my M6. The two systems have different weaknesses but also different strengths. The overall hit rate is similar.

This is after 15+ years of using mainly an M (and familiarity with my dad's M3 since childhood)... and three weeks with the X-Pro1.

Doesn't take a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

I'd have to agree. No camera is perfect and each has its weakness... which will drive you insane until you find your workaround.

I'll miss the SLR when it eventually disappears from production.

Haha... funny, Keith.
Oh wait, you're serious?

Did I miss a memo or something?
