trade?

[cidereye]

It was the Sony menus of the NEX-7 that drove me around the bend and headed me towards the X-Pro1 so my answer would be no.

As good as the RX1 obviously is it is still a one trick pony of a camera with having a fixed lens. Far too much (IMHO) is put on a camera being "so-called" full frame anyway. If you like the IQ and abilities of an APS sensor camera why even feel the need to change?

The swap I might understand would be the X100 for an RX1 - that would make far more sense. 🙂

used xpro1 are plummeting in the 800$ range around here, xpro2 maybe soon? after that, prices drop even more,

if you think like this, for 1800.- you're getting an almost new RX-1, one of the best cameras on the market right now, if you ever wanted to try one, now's the time, and you keep the great XE-1 for that fuji-business..

no longer interested in the trade.

Plus ONE.

Just as an FYI - the menus are more sane, thank goodness. They are closer to normal, I have been told more like their dslr menus. If I remember correctly the rx1 menus are similar to rx100. I have a nex5n which I still keep around but I don't use much these days.

Joe, personnally I'd go for the X100S over the RX1. Ergonomics of the X100S are way better, viewfinder is superb. Image quality... not enough of a difference to bother with in my opinion.

you are likely right...
but i don't always move in the direction of 'better' but more in the direction of 'different'.
i just want to try that rx1 and see what it's like.
i tried the x100 and loved it and so i assume the x100s can only be better.

I really don't get the talk about the Sony Menu. Pretty simple for me because I barely ever go into the menus. Use exterior buttons and occasionally the Fn button.

only have the X-E1 but wouldn't trade against the RX1 since I want to be able to use my set of mostly Leica lenses - and love manual focussing

FYInfo only
A Panasonic Gx1 guy went to a free RX1 hands on/intro meeting by Sony Taipei,
He took some photos w Rx1 and Gx1...

I have a Panasonic GF3 and 14mm 2.5, I don't think the AWB is 'bad', just have to be careful, and if the WB is off, that means you photo is now, fine art 😎

Never...ever.
